Tanning Help??

I am not allowed to like Tan in a tanning bed, So I was wandering if there was anything I could do besides a tanning bed or "sunless" tanning lotion. I dont like sunless tanning lotion because it turns my skin orange...maybe you cood give me water-proof suggestions for this that WORKS...i might do it.. and I cant Sun-Tan because I dont tan, I burn. And plus since I need the tan by june, I really dont have much time to do a sun tan even if i tried because we're goin on vacation @ the beginning of June. Any other ways?

Why is being tan that important!? Personally, I think pale skin is very beautiful, depending on how you attend to it. I don't like it when emo people die their hair black and then whiten their skin and put on dark, drastic make-up but pale skin can be very very attractive on a woman. The only good way to tan is to do it naturally. Don't buy the lotions and sprays. They just look frickin stupid!

Lol, well go to wally world,(a.k.a Walmart), and look in the lotion section. It's a bottle from Loreal i think and well it is some kind of tan lotion that makes you tan, all you do is apply some on and there you have it, the perfect tan. Contact me if you have any other q's, I can show you how to get the perfect beach bod, lol!!!!!
Reply:You've pretty much answered your own question. If you don't tan naturally without burning, you risk skin cancer by even trying, on the beach or tanning bed. Either embrace your whiteness (there are many beautiful celebrities in Hollywood, for example who do not tan--Nicole Kidman for one, but there are many others) or start experimenting with self-tanners until you find one you like. Those are the only options there are.
Reply:Tanning in a bed is actually extremely dangerous. 20 mins worth of a tan in a bed creates just as much damage as 8 hours outside. If you can't tan outside, chances are you'd burn more likely in the bed which is not good at all, since burns are what leads to skin cancer even moreso.





Not all sunless tanning lotions will turn you orange, you just need to find a brand that matches your skin type. When it comes to these types of things, usually the more expensive it is, the more natural it will look. Considering you were probably going to pay $50 and up for a month's worth of tans at a salon, $10-20 isn't that much. There is no true "water-proof suggestions" since it's outside of your skin and not changing the actual melanin of your body.





If you're going on vacation, I don't see why you need to already be tan anyway. Getting a "pre-tan" doesn't help stop you from burning or any of those other myths you may have heard.





My suggestion is either get a quality sunless tanning lotion (or maybe go to a salon that sprays on tan if you're really concerned about screwing it up) or just go on vacation as is.
