Little_Miss_Cant_Be_Wrong answered Monday March 7 2005, 6:34 pm: I'm really pale too, so if you are going to go to a tanning salon, start out with a small amount of time for a few days per week. Gradually work your way up to larger amounts of time, still going a few days a week. This is what I have to do so I don't get burned. The high pressure beds are supposed to have less chance for getting burned, but I haven't tried them, so I wouldn't know for sure. If you don't want to risk harming your skin, opt for Mystic Tanning. It's like those tanning lotions, but sprayed on evenly. Alot of tanning salons have it now. And get a slightly darker makeup for your face, and maybe a bronzer too. Don't worry about fitting in with the rest of the girls. It's really not that big of deal. Alright, good luck with the tanning! Hope I helped a little.
