i am about as pale as can be, everytime i try to get a little darker i burn. Even i the summer I am still really pale, my doctor says its because i have an iron deficiency on my blood but i just want to get a little darker. Any advice?

Do yourself a favor and stay out of the sun and tanning beds. I go from albino to tomato. I hear ya sister! I went to Cuba a few years ago and got second degree burns from sitting out in the sun too long (30mins) you can cause irreparable damage and increase your chances of getting cancer. Also, the sun is responsible for 80% (!!!!!!) of premature visible signs of aging. You can't ever undo the damage!! Try spray tanning or self tanning. Shiseido and Clarins make amazing ones. This will cost you a lot of money to upkeep. My best advice: love yourself for who you are!

The jergens tanning lotion worked really well for me, my skin was tenner by the first week! But if you use it too much you can turn a little orange...

Pale skin is beautiful. I learned in school a lot about sun damage and a tan is just a visible sign of sun damage. I'm pale af too and I tried just about every self tanner out there even pills that claim to make more melanin but nothing's going to change your DNA. I just learned to embrace it and protect my skin not everyone is meant to be tan. And sun exposure is the number 1 cause of aging so just protect your skin and be happy with the way god made you! :)

Sitting out in the sun is dangerous even for only 5 minutes. Skin cancer is increasing and the sun is getting stronger, so it's always best to wear moisturizer/foundation/powder with SPF15 or over. Being pale is good, I'm pale and I love it even though I have to wear lots of sunscreen! :)

Fake Bake Flawless! $25 at Ulta and I am in love. Not streaky, not orange! I went from not matching at all in Estee Lauder Foundation to being a nice tan consistency! Totally understand where you are coming from. I was so pasty before Fake Bake. STAY AWAY FROM TANNING BEDS!! I cannot stress that enough. After two months of use I was one stage away from Melanoma. I have two ugly scars and I go back tomorrow to get another lovely scar from getting my moles removed.

I have the exact same diagnosis and have had for a while now. I use a gradual tan every two days so a have a constant natural looking glow and soft moisturized skin.

You know what? Just rock the pale! I am super pale too. Just rock it out. There are so many things pale people can rock harder than darker people. Just like there are advantages of being darker. You know? We're just as cool.

I learned to embrace my paleness. I actually have to add color to my face in the winter cause otherwise people think I'm am sick. I uses blush that has slight bronzing powders and illuminator a to play on the paleness of my skin and make it look glowy. Just find what works for your face but don't sit in the sun. No point in tanning beds you'll just burn. And the money can be better spent than self tanners that turn you orange.

Embrace that ish!! You are beautiful. Don't lay in the sun...ever! Being pale, pasty, albino (I've been called them all) is who you are. It's the thing to do, to be tan that is. So if you must, use self tanner. There are a lot of good ones out there now that won't make you look orange. Test them out! I'm sure you'll find one that suits you :)
