[I didn't know which category this should go under]
Okay so my skin is pretty fair. I'm mostly irish. However, I do tan a little bit. I know this is hard to judge, but how long do you think I could stay out in the sun without being burnt, because I want some color, but I am terrified of getting burnt again. The first time I went out this year, I was out for 3 hours straight and got a wicked bad sunburn.
I know its really hard to judge, so I appreciate any answers.

Burning gets you tanned, as well. Not as fun as just tanning though :(
If all else fails, just try really short periods of exposure :D

Alot of people go to tanning beds they say it helps if you tan there first. hope i helped Brie [ brie's advice column | Ask brie A Question ]
