Tanning +Rep

[Metric.]

I love the sun.

You should buy some tanning oil, I bought some the other day and it's like SPF 8, and it's an oil but it's non-greasy and it won't clog your pores.

I'll get a pic of it and post it!

Tanning Oil.. doesn't that just make me burn? Or does it just help me tan more often. It really is a pain when I go to the beach like all holidays, nothing changes right after the holidays. Yet anyone else does tan =/

I'll give out rep to the people who helped, but I've given out too much lately.

when you go on holiday you need to start with a suncream thats quite high if you burn easily, i normally start on factor 20, then after about 2 days go down to factor 15, and so on. gradually working your way down in factors. you need to be persistant and when you sunbathe take a break like every 20 minutes and use a lot of after sun to prevent peeling. im quite lucky that i can tan really quickly, but some people cant, so if it doesnt work for you then it might just be genetic, not everyone can tan. i wouldnt advise you to use fake tan, as being male it will most likely look really fake on you, especially if youre pale. if youre going on holiday this year, id say to do some mega hardcore sunbathing haha you might not go brown straight away, but you probably will gain some colour. then hopefully if we have a hot summer in the uk you will be able to build up on it

Their are sunbeds but they might burn you.
But their is also new creams that tan you sligtly and over time a real looking tan builds up. You can build it up to the colour you want and just top it up when you start getting pale again.

that johnsons holiday skin stuff what you see on the telly

about 3 quid or so a bottle and if builds up a tan aswell as protecting you from the sun

Grr, i dont change colour AT ALL. I dont burn, i dont tan. I just stay the same colour. Its really annoying. I just cover myself in baby oil and hope for the best.

when u go to the sea, as u will get wet, the sun will burn you better,

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 agree, but if you really wan't it now there are some products out there that work very well and can color to what you wan't you just have to ask someone at the store or in that area of products and they can give you a hand on deciding whats best for you.

TBH im bit of a tart lol umm im used fake tan sprat out of bottle not too releastic especially if you want to build it gradually also got pressional tan but wasnt all that all the stories about sun beds are stupid you have more chance getting ill sitting out in the garden imo. i use sunbeds here and there for a nice tan looks genuine as you can build it up :]
