If you are pale and you always burn, not tan, can you use a tanning lotion (NOT the sunless kind) and get a tan?





be specific, please.
Tanning Question..?
usually not
Tanning Question..?
Probbaly not, because oils are what are suppost to attract the UV rays to your body, and when you burn yourself without that oil...


no, there isn't.


Have you tried sunblock, so you don't get burned?


Otherwise I would suggest making sure you don't stay in the sun too long, or on one side of your body for too long.
Reply:i think there is but if you want to get a tan don't go outside for 2 hours in 100 degree weather. Stay in the sun like for 15 min. for one day then do another 15. min. the next day and keep doing that until u are satisfied. try doing it in the sunniest place in your back yard.
Reply:Sure, if you want melanoma.





Do you use the sunless kind ever? I love the L'oreal sublime glow.

Reply:If your don't ever tan from being out in the sun, no lotion is going to make you get a natural tan.


I'm assuming you probably have light hair/eyes?





Most likely your genetics just don't allow your skin cells to produce much melanin. Your skin cells have enzymes called melaninocytes that synthesize and produce melanin in response to ultraviolet radiation (i.e. sunlight, or that from tanning beds). When more melanin is produced when people spend time in the sun, they get a tan. People with darker skin have more melaninocytes than people with lighter skin. If you don't have many copies of the gene that codes for melaninocytes, your skin cells can't produce melanin fast enough to absorb the excess light and protect your skin, which leads to skin damage and possibly cancer.





The best option is for you to stick with sunless tanners that contain DHA. (that's what's in most sunless lotions and also the mystic tanning booths). DHA changes the configuration of proteins in your skin that makes them appear darker, thus giving the appearance of having a tan.
