Is anyone else addicted to tan?! I get spray tans every week it's been going on for 3 years! Hate to think of how much money I've spent but I don't touch sun beds!

It's only a light natural tan colour but now I don't feel normal without one!!

I'd feel better if I knew someone else was in the same boat 😳

I used to be addicted to tanning beds and then I realized who cares if I'm pale I started embracing my paleness 😊 it was so hard at first and then I got over it

21 now and no where near ready to accept my paleness haha! I wish I could work out why I feel this way because I think many pale people are beautiful but I just can't be natural :( I have lots of freckles and I almost look ill without a bit of colour x

I understand, everything come with time. I think I accepted my paleness when I saw pale girls were beautiful too. I find paleness very vintage and old Hollywood ish and I'd always thought that ws sexy so I said eeeh fuck ill join the pale group too lol.

I actually wish I were more pale lol. I tan super easily & get really dark in the summer. how fast does a spray tan fade? because I feel like every single week is a bit excessive. & expensive! I think pale women are beautiful & I absolutely love freckles :)

I just recently accepted it a few months ago I feel like when your a bit older you will stop caring I don't know that's just what it was for me. When I went to school I had to always look my best I had no bills and worries now I'm worried about bills I have to pay and less on how pale I am. I would just suggest going every 2 weeks then maybe once a month see if that helps.

Hi Kat, Well I get a discount because I'm so regular haha so I pay £9 a week, she comes to my house. I don't tan naturally at all :( I had it for the first time 3 years ago before I went to spain and just never stopped! I have tanned out of a bottle but it's effort and looks better when done professionally I think :) maybe one day I'll realise how silly I'm being!!

Aw thank you M G, I'm not much of a drinker and don't smoke so I don't mind the cost really :) x

Hi Erin, for the last year I've been having one fortnightly just because it's a bit of a pain sometimes but I can't help but top up with my own tan in between spray tans! I think I actually have an addiction.

Oh and Kat, mine last about 4 days but if I moisturise twice a day all over then it sometimes lasts 5 or 6 x

Well discounts are always good! that's awesome you got to go to Spain :) like am g said, it's a lot better than actually tanning. so as long as you're not hurting your body & you're happy, I don't think it's that big of a deal. we all have things we wish we could change about ourselves at some point. eventually you'll come to embrace the paleness & I'll embrace my tan-ness lol :)

I've never had a spray tan but always wanted to get one. I'll admit I love self tanning. I was a little more obsessed with it a few years ago but I still love it. (:

Spray tans aren't bad tho. Atleast it isn't hurting you.

I used to tan all the time, but I got tired of it and stopped probably 5 years ago. I love being pale now :)

It is just like make up, It isn't harming you and if it makes you feel better about your self then there's absolutely no problem with it! I am a spray tan tech and I do feel like once a week is a lil much only because a good spray tan should last 8 to 11 days or at least they do for my clients and you want to give it time to fade then exfoliate the rest off so you have an even canvas. just a suggestion!

From my 8th grade year until my 11th grade year I was addicted to tanning beds. I would go religiously everyday and wished there wasn't a 24 hour waiting frame. I stopped going my 12th grade year when I met (my now husband) who thought my pale skin with black hair and blue eyes was absolutely stunning. I took his advice and quit. An now I love everything about my pale skin and wish there was a way to make me more porcelain pale, like a doll. I also realized how much money I was wasting (it was $30 a month) for a membership and now that money goes towards makeup and other beauty supplies!
