Hey im 15/f and i just cant seem to be able to tan. I've tried tanning oils, lotions, baby oil, water, and just tanning bare. I only get a little red but it goes away the next day and im white again.. ive tried tanning this whole summer and i just dont tan. Is something wrong with me? Is there anything i can do? Thanks!

No, there's nothing wrong with you. I'm actually the same way. Some people just weren't born to tan easily. Luckily, there are solutions. 1) You can do it the unhealthy way & go with indoor tanning. Yes, even if you can't tan outside, you still will [most likely] tan in a tanning bed. If you choose to go with this option, realize that your risk for skin cancer is increased. So limit your visits & your time spent each time. 2) Lotions & spray ons. I can't suggest any specific brand because I've never used one that worked well. I know there are regular lotions, such as Jergins, that have tint of self tanner so that the results aren't as strong as they would be with a regular self tanner lotion. You could try those if you are too nervous about diving in with basic self tanner & coming out with orange hands & major streaks.
