MelLeDisko answered Saturday August 19 2006, 6:11 pm: Hm, the only thing I can really suggest is too go to a tanning booth and start small, and gradually go in the tanning booth for a longer time each couple times you go. But don't just keep going and going and going and going all the time, cause you'll wind up getting real dark and then it looks fake. Just mantain a nice, even tan like the other advicenator said. But personally, I think nothing's wrong with being pale, I've seen alot of pale celebrities and their skins so pretty it looks like poreclain [sp] or something. I have pale skin myself and I can't tan either. [ I did go to tanning booths and it did work, but I just decided I liked pale skin better. ] But anyways, I hope I helped and I hope you get real nice and tan. :] [ MelLeDisko's advice column | Ask MelLeDisko A Question ]

sassysara answered Thursday August 17 2006, 7:51 pm: Hey there, I am so white I glow in the dark!! Like you I burn, freckle and go right back to white. Here is what I do, I go to the tanning salon, start out at like 5-6 minutes and then build up from there. I actually tan this way, and it lasts. I use it when I am going on holiday to the caribbean or mexico. Like the sun though this is not healthy for you to be doing it all the time, so once you get a tan, just maintain it don't try to get darker and darker.

shayequalslove answered Thursday August 17 2006, 3:32 pm: you could get airbrushed tans but they can be pricey. you said you don't like self-tanners but i use jergen's & it's pretty much amazing. it's never made me look orange. [: [ shayequalslove's advice column | Ask shayequalslove A Question ]
laycieee answered Thursday August 17 2006, 2:44 pm: Well there's not much we can tell you to do besides going tanning at a salon or sunbathing using sunscreen. Not all of the summer glow stuff turns your orange, the kind I use works great and looks real. It's called Touch of Sun by Olay, seriously try it because it's the only thing I know of that really works. They have two different bottles, one's smaller and used for your face and the other one is larger and is used all over your body. For like two days I used it on my body and it looked like I had been sunbathing both of those days because the tan looked so real. Try it, please, I know you won't be disappointed.
