Does tanning make blue eyes more noticeable?

I'm very pale, but I like it. I think it's healthy. My skin is probably thanking me that I'm not prematurely aging it, and that I'm not killing many of the cells its made up of by avoiding the sun. I use moisturizer with sun-block everyday.


My GF on the other hand says tanning is healthy and sexy. She keeps trying to convince me to tan. She ended up going by herself to the beach and came back with what I considered damaged skin.


She thinks it's sexy. She was all happy because she says her blue eyes stand out best when she's tanned; I tell her I never notices, and she get's mad.





Why do some people like something as unhealthy as tanning?

Personally, I think that pale skin makes blue eyes stand out A LOT more. But people like to get tans because they like to look like carrot juice.





If you don't feel comfortable getting a tan then don't do it. You should always trust you instincts.

I actually think blue eyes stand out more with pale skin. It's not healthy to tan but the sun is good for you. Sunshine makes your body produce vitamin D, and vitamin D is so crucial to your health. The sun can cause skin cancer but because of vitamin D, it also lowers your risk for other diseases and cancers. I think a happy medium is best. It's important to protect your skin and not tan intentionally, but the sun isn't bad either. People just need to respect it and not be so vain.
Reply:well i personally think tanning is good, sometimes. all u don't have to turn a complete differnt color but as long as your somewhat darker. blue eyes so stand out and pop when your tanner.
Reply:You are right! Her blue eyes would not stand out any more when she got her skin winkled with dark spots! Don't follow her advice and if you really care for your friend try to get her to tan without sun. And in case you want to alter your look temporally there are also tanning color products that can be washed off. Bottom line, avoid the sun by all means!
Reply:I've gotten much tanner since the summr started, and my eyes are blue. Tanning does not make blue eyes pop; on the contrary, my eyes seem to appear almost greenish in contrast to when I was lighter. My eyes were much more blue then. As for your girlfriend, I would just appease her and randomly say how blue her eyes look today or whatever. Girls love to hear little compliments like that. And I prefer being tan; it's just a girl thing, and it can really depend on the individual.
Reply:It's all up to you eventually. I also have blue eyes, and everyone tell me that they look even more beautifull when I get some tan. You should spend some time on sun beacuse it's healthy and you will probably look better, but naturally don't spend too much time cause it's then unhealthy! Remember that skin is sensitive on sun because you will be exposed after around nine months of hiding!!! Let's just say it's some sort of a training...





You would have to find balance in between this two things. And finally it's you own body, if you don't like geting some tan, don't listen to your girlfriend.





Wish you luck
