Do you think there is any chance of me tanning in a tanning bed or in the sun? ( pic included)?

Question

I usually burn if I'm in the sun for an extended amount of time without sunscreen and my skin turns reddish and stays like that especially in my face. I would really like to tan but I don't know if I can. It's very annoying because my dad tans pretty good and my little sister laughs at me because she gets a nice tan in the summer and mom, my older sister, and me don't get good tans. I understand that it has to do with the amount of melanin in my skin and I was wondering if you could increase that somehow. Could someone tell me if there is hope of me getting a tan because I want it so bad.

Answer 1

your pretty hot, and sure, just put suntan lotion on so you don't burn

Answer 2

Just put on some sunscreen, maybe try Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning lotion. It has a low SPF, but just apply it frequently. I think you look good as you are right now and tanning increases the risk of skin cancer. It's up to you.  

Answer 3

You are supposed to wear sunscreen when you tan! Or else you are bound to burn. =) I use sunscreen and I get a nice tan. If you still burn with it on, maybe ask your sister or mom to buy you some tanning lotion.  

Answer 4

Are those golf trophies yours?

I wouldn't recommend it, btw.

Answer 5

just start out at the lowest time limit, go a few times a week and work up to more time. get a package deal to save money.

Answer 6

Your little sister won't be laughing when she's all wrinkled at 20.  Your skin tone looks good and even.  Don't f it up with too much sun.  

Answer 7

The tanning beds make you look so yellow and it doesn't look real. I'm chinese, and I'm already kind of yellow, so when I went there, I was like..a  banana!! But maybe it'll be different for you, maybe my tanning bed was just..bad in a way. I recommend spray tans, they don't take as long and look more realistic.

Answer 8

Well tanning is not good for your skin, maybe you should find a tanning lotion that's healthy for your skin. MK offers a great subtle tanning lotion for even your face and you can use it all year around.

Answer 9

Anyone can get a tan !! :) go ahead , use the natural sun ... tanning beds I find are a little harsh , and I feel claustrophobic in them . Just remember to wear a bit of sunscreen so you dont burn :) but you'll still get tanned .

Dont stay in the sun too long though :)
