Calling all pale people who got tan. How do I get a tan outdoors I am extremely pale!?

Question

I am very very very pale, the redheads at my school are darker than me. No joke. I don't want to go back to school and get made fun of for how pale I am am.

How do I get a tan outdoors naturally? Like what spf and how long to lay out etc. etc.

Answer 1

TRY NOT TO GET TOO MUCH SUN ITS BAD FOR YOU THE BEACH IS THE BEST PLACE TO GET A TAN IF NOT BUY AN INSTANT TANNER AT ANY RETAIL STORE TARGET OR WALL-MART HAVE THE BEST SELF TANNERS

Answer 2

you should use a high spf so you do not burn. The higher the spf then the better the tan, also aslong as you keep reapplying the suncream as recommended then you can sit out in it as long as you like.

Answer 3

To be honest, i've tried so many tanning oils etc, and they never seem to work too much.

I prefer the natural ways, they work and are AMAZING.

1. baby oil

2. olive oil with a little water in it not too much

3. beer

Although i doubt you want to smell like beer..

But honestly those are the best ways. And ive never been badly sunburnt either, it hurt a lil once or twice but i'd been in the sun all day.

Hope this helps! x

Answer 4

Depends how salow your skin is. Do you tan? Have you ever got a tan ? If not get fake tan = D

Answer 5

Answer 6

Me too! But for us who are naturally white, you can only fake and bake. Or use tanning lotions which pigment your skin. However no one really cares how dark your skin is. People who are going to like you are going to like you for you.  

Go to the doctor and see if you are anemic. Its an iron deficiency that can often result in very pale skin. If thats the problem then the doctor will prescribe you some vitamins!

Add: tanning without sunscreen is Very foolish., You might not see the consqeuences now, but when your older your skin will look damaged and too old for your age. (Plus the risk of skin cancer)

Answer 7

tan from 1-3 o clock everyday. for me my face burns easier so i just put spf on there. or use a gradual tanning moisterizer...it looks more natural for us paleys. lmao

Answer 8

''calling all extremly pale people who got a tan'' haha that made me laugh. anyways im not extremly pale but its super hard for me to get a tan.

so everyday i went outside when the sun was its brightist and lay down on a towel for a couple hours and i got a small tan.

i didnt put on any sunscreen

also buy a tanning lotion so for winter when theres no sun, you have a backup.  

Answer 9

Put on NO sunscreen.  Lay in the sun, fully, on a lawn chair or beach towel so all of your skin/swimsuit is out of shadows.  Lay in the sun till it gets a bit painful, because then you may be burning. Go back inside for about a 1/2 hour, then repeat.  Put on tanning lotion daily. Try Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moistruizing Lotion.

Answer 10

Get a fake tan.  There are some salons that do really awsome spray tans that look natural.  Please whatever you do wear sunscreen skin cancer is not worth it.

Answer 11

Well you could get tanning wipes, you just wipe them over your body and face like baby wipes :)

Or you could go to a tanning salon  :D
