Tanning major mistake?

Question

Ok all summer i was tanning at the beach, parks everyware. i wear sunscrean after i tan so that i dont get burnt the rest of the day. Now my whole body is tan but i just realised when i looked at a photo of me that my face isnt as tan, its still white compared to the rest of my body. i figured its cuz i put down a light foundation and forgot about tacking it off before i went to the beach. so its pretty sunny for two-three days then it gets rainy again so i need a way to tan my face with outburning it and cuz my dad gone mom two and i dont have a car i cant go to the store and get tanning cream, or tanning salon. it has to be old fashion sit in the sun. so how long will it take to get a base face tan with out burning it.??

thanks advance

Answer 1

You would be better off using an orange marker or a thin layer of shoe polish to darken up your face.

Answer 2

Are you sure it wasnt just a dodgy photo making it look tht way? Light can do funny things to skin tones in photographs. other than that you should just wear a darker foundation on your face til the tan fades a bit.

Answer 3

Since the UV rays in suntanning are so damaging, I would not recommend tanning your face.  If you do not have a car to get to the store to buy tanning cream, order some online.  I have used Clinique and Lancome face tanners, both are great.  Make sure you exfoliate first.

Your skin will thank you!

Answer 4

get tanning sunscreen - its got uv protection and tanning lotion in it - its made by banana boat - put it on ur face and a good sunblock or light clothing on the rest of ur body

Answer 5

Almost all cosmetics for your face have some kind of sunblock, especially the eye creams. As a male, I only use sun block during my winter vacations. I have noticed that a single application last me the whole week. Call me crazy but that has been my observation. Your face creams might have a similar residual effect. I think sun is very healthy and do not worry about damage. You might just want to consider the raccoon eyes as a healthy glow. :-)

Answer 6

It all depends on where u live...anywhere from 15 min per day to 30 min per day.

Answer 7

most people seem to not get as dark on their face as everywhere else.

Answer 8

tanning in general is a major mistake...still causes major harm and damage to your skin.  I would use a tan in a bottle for you face or spend the money to have air brushing done.
