go to mystic tan or use jergen's daily.





if you know tanning isn't good for you, why would you do it? thats the definition of ignorant, right there. you'll be singing a different tune when you get skin cancer. i know i never thought anything of it until a best friend of mine got sick. Grow up and be a responsible adult. Care about yourself and your health, for god's sake

well, you can use tanning oil. that always helps. and when you go out put only one layer of sunscreen on otherwise it basically repells the sun. and also on your face use something like SPF 15 because 30 will block the sun from your face.
Reply:Judging by your avatar, it doesn't seem as if you already have a tan. Isn't it funny how people of bland skin want to take on the characteristics of other races for a brief moment? Would you like to be this color all the time??
Reply:u can go to the beach or a pool and jus lay there and relax but make sure u wear lotion u dont want to get skin cancer.=]

Your skin most likely has low levels of melanin and will never tan. Sorry. It's a genetic fact of life you'll have to learn to live with. The self tanning lotions have become very good over the last several years though, are inexpensive, and are safe. Try the Loreal products. The Loreal Sublime Bronze face towlettes are great. For the body, try the Loreal Sublime Glow lotion. Neither have a strong odor, and their light scent is pleasant. Neither will turn you a freakish orange color like the old self-tanners did. The downside is that you will have to use them throughout the summer to keep the color, and you will need someone to put the lotion on your back if you want to be tan there.





Good luck!
Reply:If you are pale, then your skin pigmentation is not as easy to tan, and probably burns whenever you try to tan. If you are pale all through the summer, then the answer is simple- you are not going to tan by laying in the sun. Your pigmentation would not support it.





I am pretty dark, myself, and I worked in a tanning salon for years. However, my dermatologist finally convinced me to switch over to sunless options, and I love it!





You should pick up a sunless tanner made for fair skin. After using it every day for a week, you'll have a pretty decent tan. Once the first week is over, you can use the tanner two times a week to maintain a nice dark color.





I use Aveeno. They have a great new product that I just switched to that allows you to set on a dial what color you'd like to achieve. Since I am already really dark, I use a darker formula to continue getting more of a tan. Because you are lighter, you can turn it to a lighter setting and build your way up.





Here is a link to it, it's pretty cheap, and you can maintain a really nice tan all year long!

Don't worry about turning orange either, as long as you don't go overboard with the tanner, you'll have a beautiful summer glow!
