How would i go about getting a tan, if i am pale and burn easily, and cant go out to a tanning bed?
Try tanning at the tanning bed, for 5 mins to start out. I would do that for 3 days, then go to 7 min, for 3 days. You got to go every day, or you will loose what you have built up. Keep adding a few min at a time.
Reply:Try Aveda self tanner. It doesn't look orange and you will tan up nicely in a few applications.


Just be careful to apply it evenly and wash your hands after you put it on!
Reply:Tan gradually with a good self tanner. Clarins makes a really good one that give off a realistic natural tan look. This is obviously the first time you're putting it on and you can really screw it up, so I suggest that you call the salons in your area to see if they offer self tanning or find a friend to help you out. Good luck!
Reply:apply sunscreen first of all, be safe, then expose yourself to the sun for short amounts at a time, 30 minutes or less, then when you have built up a "base" tan you can stay under the sun for longer amounts of time.
Reply:You can use one of the many store bought tanning lotions that tan your skin. They look realistic and won't damage your skin!


I have heard really good things about all of them but I am a fanof Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer: http://www.jergens.com/Our_Collection/Pr...





Check it out! Tip - exfoliate skin before for a more even tan.
Reply:sorry, but it sounds like you are going to have to fake bake. and w/ as pale as you are you w/ easily aquire freckles and sun spots associated w/ tanning which aren't very attractive.
Reply:Firstly, don't let people make fun of your skin - that is horrible and really out of touch. At 40 you won't have wrinkles and they will, for being out in the sun too much!! Pale isn't boring - just look at people like Nicole Kidman or Bree from desperate housewives! They are beautiful!!





Get fake tanner. Not sure where you live but where I live you can get great moisturisers with a little fake tanner in them so you can build up the 'tan' over the course of a week. They are great and natural looking and don't have that horrible 'fake tan' look.
Reply:Check out this website...they have a self-tanner (under shop online - body care)

Feel free to ask me any questions that you have about any of the products.
Reply:I feel you pain. I'm VERY fair skined as well and I burn very easily and can't hold a tan. I've tried it all....but believe me, you'll have the last laugh when you look great when you are older. Not being in the sun and wearing sun block when you're in it will make you look fab when you're older....no wrinkles!!! I've tried other tanners and they seem to be ok...but there is a new process out there in salons called mystic tan. I'll include the site and it seems like it's a great alternative for people like 'us' Let me know if you try it and how it goes. Best of luck to you!!

Reply:I know exactly how you feel. I am so white I glow in the dark. ; - ) I have learned to live with it though.





It depends on the money you want to spend to be tan what options are available to you. One of my favorites, and some tanning salons actually do have it, is Mystic Tan. At least, that is what it is called where I live. It is a "fake and bake", but it is a full body spray-on tan. It works quite well and has never left me with that lovely shade of burnt orange that tells everyone your tan is not a natural one. It can be as expensive, if not more, than paying for a regular tanning salon. It just depends on the specials that are being offered where you live.





Another option, with the same outcome but on a much smaller scale, is a spray-on tanning product that you can get pretty much anywhere (Wal-mart, Target, etc.). One of the best I have found is by Sally Hansen. It is called Airbrush Sun. They have formulas for the body and for the face. It did not turn me that special shade of orange either. There are some other brands that are good as well. Neutrogena makes a self-tanning foam, I believe. I don't recommend the self-tanning lotions because if you don't exfoliate (remove the dead skin from your body) prior to using them, they can leave you looking streaked, which is another dead giveaway that your tan is not genuine. The spray-on or foam tanning products get darker with additional applications allowing you to control how dark you get.





Read the label before you buy. There are some products that require you to stay in the buff for at least an hour before putting clothes on. If you are short on time, then that will not be a convenient option for you.
