Tanning +Rep

[le harry]

Hi everybody,

Well to straight the point, I'm fair skin'd, not albino white,, but fair (pale-ish)... It's not that I am a nerd and don't go out in the sun, I'm in the sun ALOT, but my Mum is also pale so I think I inherited it from her.

I just don't tan when I go in the sun, I burn and peel, and when I dont burn, I've usually put alot of sunscreen on so I don't tan. What can I do just to get some colour in me, I don't want to revert to Fake Spray Tans / Lotions as they are so unrealistic. It has bugged me all my life, certain problems when I was younger (bullying etc), now its more of just a joke thing at school, it's still irratating.

What can I do, are professional spray tans any good, do they look realistic? Should I sit outside in the sun all day hoping to tan :S
All help is appreciated.

Thanks, Aight.

And i don't know about the professional fake tans but most fake tans turn you orange What about the Tanning bed thingys??

To be honest you sound anaemic which is when you are lacking in iron or something like that. You can get some iron pills from your doctor and it'll build up the iron in your system and you should actually start tanning properly.

Yeah, I don't like those Tanning Beds, I've read articles about how they are really bad for you or something, saw this story this woman wanted to look brown for her wedding, went on one of those beds and it cooked her insides. Yeah I've tried lower sunscreen, I've tried all sunscreen basically .

Indie, I might try that - I'll look up on it later. Thanks though, I've never heard of it.

I don't use sunscreen, Woops.
Buyt it's k, because i don't turn red and peel.

Don't use tanning beds, really bad for you - also you can get cancer from them if you go alot. As you don't tan the first time.

The same with me, I'm really pale, I go out in the sun get a tan but it fades off and sometimes I look like ive just seen a ghost. I just use a bit of blusher when I look pale, I cant have a lack of iron because I drink alot of water and juices and I eat fruit, veg and I have a balanced diet so maybe its just because I inherited it from my mum too.

Some people tan some people don't. You can get skin cancer if you aren't tanning as well.
