I'm 15 and I am very pale. I really want more then anything to have nice color.
I really want to tan this summer, but I don't want to burn.
How long should I stay in the sun at a time? Should I still use sunscreen? Are there any lotions or creams I could use that could help me tan?
If anyone knows, please answer. :) Thanks.

Then when you go in the sun continue with it,apply at night,and then use you sun protection whilst in the sun. The tan accelerator brings your own malanin to the surface making it safer to sunbathe but you still need protection. Plus it will help your tan to last longer too.
My friend has 3 types of skin cancer with using sunbeds and sunbathing without protection,do not do it,its not worth it! [ debs59's advice column | Ask debs59 A Question ]

Be happy how you are, vampires are in and tanning is so bad for your face. Always wear sunblock on your face or you will end up wrinkly early in life. Use a SPF 30.
