I'd think you'd look more Hispanic.

You're mom is smart, tanning beds and laying out will ruin your skin.  You'll look great now, but pay later.\nI haven't tried the spray on tan, but there are some good sunless tanners out there.  I use Jergens Natural Glow.  It dries fast, covers evenly, and has a nice natural color to it.

Honey, I understand! Here is what I do, and I hate before I do it, but it works. When it is cold, dark, rainy, etc. I do not want to do a thing. I'd rather lay in bed or in the house watching TV and eating all day. But, we can lead a very productive life that way can we. So what I do is drag my lazy butt to the shower, get dressed, make-up and all, and go outside and just become part of what is going on. Really it helps. Something else that helps but I hate to recommend b/c it isn't good for your overall health, is artificial sunlight. However, if you put sunblock all over you and go lay in a tanning bed for 7-10 minutes, it'll perk you up a little, but not as much as learning to enjoy the day by doing something outdorsy no matter what the weather is like.

It depends on what you want to accomplish.\n\nIf you just want to look like a maual laborer, then the sunless tanner is teh way to go - though you should be awair that although this will give you that "Ive been picken the berries for 16 hours" brown, it will not create any mellinin in your skin to protect you from the sun.\n\nIF you just want your skin to look like an old pair of leather saddle bags, or if skin cancer is your thing, then going out in the sun is the only way to go.

it will take some time to get a nice tan. don't rush in there and bake for the 1/2 hr. they will put u on a chart for how long each time til ur skin is ready to be in there for the 1/2 hr. and i think its about the same danger as the sun. maybe a lil more but u won't have to be out in the sun all day when u can just lay in the bed and get one.

I got a tan in Florida in June, and its gone. I used this adoe stuff and my skin is white again. It takes about 5 months but its totally worth it. I have healthy, white skin and I love it!

My long term medication says that too, and I too am pale, the medicine made me extra-sensitive to sun and i got a burn in august and I still have the tan from it on the tops of my legs and my chest.\nSo my advice is dont go atall, or if you do only go for a litte bit.

try cocoa butter cream at night-it's a little greasy feeling-but it is definitely one of the best that i have tried- have you changed your face cleaning regimen?  are do you tan in a tanning bed?  even though you have to wear the funny goggles don't think that the sensitive skin around your eyes aren't exposed.  if using a different cleanser, it may be to harsh.  you can also try the Avon Anew eye moisturizer and line diminish, it comes in a tube and I love it!  I always have an extra on hand

Hey what ever floats your boat,I say. Black would be the color that I would choose too. White gets to dirty quick. You say that you don't dress up,but wear sweatshirts most of the time. Hey what do you wear when its summer. Also isn't those sequin purse's,a winter thang. Good for you doing what best fits you,and you follow your dreams.

I used to work in a tanning salon for four years.  You are trying to get a tan way too fast.  You must gradually get a tan.  Right now you are sunburned which means your body is going to get rid of all those cells you just killed and all the tanning you've done has been for nothing.  Buy a tanning lotion that is meant for use in the tanning bed.  One that you use outside is NOT recommended.  It can ruin the acrylic on the tanning bed.  If you can afford a tanning bed lotion, as they can be quite spendy ranging from $15 for the cheap stuff, (where you might as well just use a moisturizer), and up to $45 for the awesome stuff.  Back to your problem... you itch because your skin is dried-out.  You need to give your skin a break and go back to the beginning.  When you start tanning again start with going half of the maximum time allowed in the bed OR LESS.  If you burn the first time go less time the next time.  If you didn't get ANY color don't go anymore than 2-3 minutes more than the last time.  You really must gradually work on your tan in a tanning bed go get the best tan for your money.  BTW, if you decide to go for that lotion I recommend something with a bronzer and without the hot stuff... your tanning salon should know what I'm talking about.  ALSO... if you have very pale skin and have never been able tan outdoors you will not be able to get tan in a tanning bed and is not recommended that you try to do so.  Also, always use those tanning eye covers... you can do severe damage to your eyes without doing so, and over time at the very least you can get uncorrectable night visionn problems.

I've kept my skin soft by NOT tanning all these years, but I've got a natural pigmentation to my skin most people don't (half Native American, half Italian).  Olay has now come out with a new lotion that gives the skin a touch of color, and being lotion and not a tanning spray, its reported by them not to streak.  It's called "Touch of Sun".  But if you need a tan because of being in a wedding, or something similar, I suggest getting a sprayed on tan all over.  It's safer for the skin, and lasts about 3 to 4 days.  IF this is because you're going on vacation and need it because you'll be out in the sun, just be careful...wear a light sunscreen so you don't burn, and take it slowly.  Good luck and have fun whatever the reason!

it is not good for anyone to tan it wrinkles the skin and causes cancer..use a self creme tanner like dove or olay they are great and no longer like the old ones that turn you orange, they are right with the regular creme..dove is in a tan colored bottle, use the one for your skin type.....no one should ever tan in a booth or  the sun....the risks are not worth the results..////

go for an airbrush tan, little pricy but you'll get some tips on how to apply and you won't burn or end up like a prune

Don't go tanning.  Tanning is really, really, really bad for your skin.   You are beautiful with the complexion you already have.  You don't want to grow older and end up looking like a leather jacket.
