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. [ hannahd's advice column | Ask hannahd A Question ]
