Im white and cant tan?

Question

is there any way that i can get a tan, non natural maybe and not get burned, because im telling you i dont tan, i just burn.

will the fake bottle stuff actually give your skin a darker shade or will it just temporarily make you look tanner?

Answer 1

Just work the paleness! Wear dramatic colors. Look at Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johanssen.  

Answer 2

The fake tan makes you orange.

My mom used it and looked like an oompa loompa for 2 weeks. It was hilarious. :]

Answer 3

Oh trust me I've worried about this, but then I look at myself and wonder, what if I got cancer in that skin??

Okay, I know what you mean though...try lotion. Look for lotion that gives you a gradual tint as it builds up. I've used that before and it definitely works! Look into the Jergens and L'Oreal brands. Avoid the pump stuff, which tends to make you look darker right away, but also really unnatural and weird.

My mom told me once when I complained about not being that naturally tan, "That's because you're not supposed to be." And she's right, that's my heritage, those are my genes, that's the part of the planet my ancestors are from. It looks good and I like it =)

Answer 4

Don't use the fake bottle stuff, that always ends up making people look orange and streaky. Go to a tanning salon and ask them for a professional spray on tan. You don't have to be tan to look good though.

Answer 5

try the gradual stuff, it may work, and otherwise, just rock it as whats her face said!
