Tanning pale skin?

My skin is very pale and tends to burn and freckle. Whats the best way to tan it it the sunny weather im in at the moment

Tanning pale skin?
I am very pale too, and it is hard to get a good tan, but if you have the patience, then here's what you do:


Prior to being out in the sun go to a tanning salon (find one that is very clean and the people are knowledgeable). When you first start out, go for around 5 minutes (it may not seem like a lot, but you have to BUILD your tan, we aren't the lucky ones that can walk in white and walk out looking like they were on the beach!). Every time you go increase your time by about 2-3 minutes or so (depending on how your skin reacts) You may also want to get a bronzing lotion (NEVER use a tingle with your skin!!!) It will take time, but you can get a nice base and then tanning in the sun won't be as hard on you
Reply:If you do not tan well in the regular sun, you most likely won't in a tanning bed. Plus, you are putting yourself at risk for skin cancer. I have used Jergens Natural Glow lotion. It gave more of a tan look.
Reply:The best kind of tan, no matter what your skin type, is a safe tan, sorry to say.





Take it from someone who is also very fair skinned, and who loves to sit and sunbathe like a lizard.





I prefer L'Oréal Sublime Glow, for fair skin tones - it feels nice and gradually darkens skin very evenly, without the "fake" look. You can probably find it in your drugstore. :)
Reply:Don't.............. You are better off using sunscreen.


Your skin will look better as you age. Tanning turns your skin into leather like condition.


Embrace your beauty and work on your confidence.
Reply:fake tan......or little bursts of sunlight at a time, gradually increasing.... but remember the risk of skin cancer
Reply:Why tan? There's nothing wrong with your natural skin color.
Reply:I used to work in high end cosmetics ... believe me, you should cherish your fair skin!


If you want the tan look, use a gradual self tanner with an SPF of 15 or better, or try an air brush tan (NOT the tanning bed) ...


Tanning with UV or natural sun causes premature aging of the skin. FYI, cigarettes ALSO age skin as well ...
Reply:your skin sounds a lot like mine! But no matter how much time i spend in the sun i never really got as tanned as i'd like to, i'd just burn and get a bunch more freckles! Try a tanning bed. I did and now i'm actually really tanned! I know it's really bad for you, so if you don't mind being pale then just hangout in the sun a lot, but if you don't mind the risks then tanning beds work soo well for pale skin!
Reply:im exactly the same, i use factor 50 suntan lotion, but i find that by the middle/end of the summer, i am a really, really dark brown.
Reply:mmm... u should use self-tanner


even though some of them smells but u


know its the safest choice!


if u want some good real tan u can do some joggin


or swimming


but apply on sunscreen! :]
Reply:I don't know why people answer questions who don't have advice you want! I'm pale and hate it and want to be tan also. I go to the tanning salon, i kinda burn at first a little but you gotta start at like 5 minutes, go once or twice a week and slowly increase your minutes and be sure to use tanning lotion they supply there, it'll help tan you but won't stop a burn or freckles. I've used fake lotions and no matter what they will always leave you uneven.
