united_python_cheerleader answered Monday July 12 2004, 3:52 pm: you can go to the tanning bed like i do ( hehe) i have lil freckles but they are going away . in order for them to go away you have to stay out of the sun or use sunblock ( ALL THE TIME )
bAhAmAmA0250 answered Monday July 12 2004, 2:33 pm: Well cover up works well but you could go to hair success and get a spray on tan for like $60 or so and it works well but just dont jump in the pool the next day or dont take a shower until 6 hours of the whole process-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

Roxybabii922 answered Monday July 12 2004, 9:05 am: I heard lemon juice makes them go away but I'm not sure... for the burn and peel thing use some tanning spray and rub it on and lay out in the sun for about 30 minutes a day eventually you'll start to tan...

EsseNeminem answered Monday July 12 2004, 1:35 am: I hate to have to say this, but freckles will always show up. I have so many, I've been dealing with my Irish skin for a very long time, and I've found that it’s best to just stay pale. Being tan looks very strange on those who were originally freckled and/or very pale, and attaining this state is extremely difficult. It's just something we of western European descent must live with. Again, I’m sorry. I’ve learned to love pale skin, eventually your friends will STFU and envy you when they have skin cancer =P [ EsseNeminem's advice column | Ask EsseNeminem A Question ]
rainbowcherrie answered Thursday June 17 2004, 12:02 pm: i am like exactly the same as you!!! there isnt really any way you can make your freckles less ovbious unless you use a fake tan or whatever. i used to hate my freckles but now i kinda like them, you need to just accept them you know? besides, pale skin is unusual, you are unique!

tommiegurlie23 answered Thursday June 17 2004, 10:45 am: Well i know what its like to be pale! haha Especially when EVERYONE uses tanning beds like 24/7! Honestly thought, people who use them skins is going to be like horrible in 10 years! So, ya i do lay out to get so natural color, but have u ever heard of Mystic tan, Hollywood tan, or Magic tan!!! THEY HAVE SAVED MY LIFE! They are just spray on tans that last about a week and make you very golden bronzed, and they are safe! now they are about $25 which could get pricy if you do it all the time, but honestly its worth it! Plus its nice to have for formals and proms where you just go the day before and are as dark as the poeple who have been tanning for a month!! I hope it all works out!

Magenta answered Wednesday June 16 2004, 1:39 pm: Freckles are great! Rejoice in your freckles!
If your skin does not tan, there's nothing you can do about it. I am in the same boat, but I think it's better to be pale and interesting than look like a red lobster. Over time your skin may begin to tan, it might not, but there's really nothing you can do about this. Fake tan can work wonders, but only pick a very pale shade, or you'll look totally wrong.

cr8zymonkeyluv07 answered Wednesday June 16 2004, 10:47 am: If you want to get a fast tan, then try going and getting a spray on tan. If you don't want to do that, then I suggest a self tanner that you can buy in stores. As far as freckles go, I say don't cover them up, I mean look at Lindsey Lohan, she's made a positive look for her pale skin and freakles. But, I understand the need to blend in with the crowd. Try covering them up with a dark make-up. Hope I helped a little. [ cr8zymonkeyluv07's advice column | Ask cr8zymonkeyluv07 A Question ]
selectopaque answered Wednesday June 16 2004, 2:03 am: I'm very pale and have always had freckles everywhere. Although I usually talk about how I hate them when people talk about them, I actually really like them. They make me unique. Tanning is actually only going to make them worse, so if you do decide to cover them up, I would suggest the fake tanning stuff.
I say, embrace your freckleness. If your friends don't like it, then why does it matter? It's not like they're going to stop hanging out with you just because you've got freckles.
Kissxme1121 answered Wednesday June 16 2004, 1:41 am: It's so weird..people who have freckles hate them and people who don't love them. Even if your friends make fun of that fact that you have freckles, be proud of them!! You can use a self tanner or get a spray on tan, that get's yiour face pretty good. Or use concealer and powder to blend it in and blush! [ Kissxme1121's advice column | Ask Kissxme1121 A Question ]
xokristabelle answered Wednesday June 16 2004, 1:38 am: First off, sorry hon, no way to get rid of the freckles. Second of all, use self tanning lotion- I recommend Coppertone Endless Summer, available at Walmart. And third...when your "friends" say that...
(a) Ignore them or change the subject
(b) Make a joke of it
or
(c) Say something like, "I know, but I don't really care. A tan is a sign of skin damage anyway." (cuz it is.)
And don't hate your freckles! Think of the many people...Lindsey Lohan for instance and she is beautiful!
And whatever you do DO NOT go to a tanning salon. It costs hundreds of bucks and causes skin cancer, not to mention wrinkles and aging later on. Just don't!
Good luck! [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
Lizzy answered Wednesday June 16 2004, 12:29 am: two things, #1: they have tanning booths that are for really light skinned people, it's used for people with a disease similar to albinoism, but the booths are really common #2: pale skin with some freckles is kinda cute on some people. hope this helped a little
