    Wear black clothing and black lipstick. Draw intricate patterns around your eyes with black eyeliner pencil. Smoke clove cigarettes(optional). Eat at a deficit.

    Being pale doesn’t seem like a problem... If you were a guy, I’d say grow a beard to darken your face. :D

    Tinted facial moisturiser and tinted body lotion...these are different the spray tans or the tanning lotions.

    Careful with those. You may end up looking like a carrot. Not like I've done this in highschool and had to deal with a week of snickering while waiting for the spray tan to fade, or anything.

    Have you ever used tanning oils/lotions? What is your experience with them if you had any?

    I like Jergens Natural Glow. I use light in the spring and medium in the summer.

    If it's summer, put on some sunblock and go outside. If it's winter, wait for summer. :)

    I'm pale because I rarely go out in the sun unless it's early morning or late afternoon, and then for less than an hour or so. I look 20 years younger than most other people my age. My younger sister looks 20 years younger than me because she smokes outside all the time. I will take smooth skin over hard wrinkles caused by the sun any day.

    Go outside. Repeat as necessary.

    Try applying tanner? I wouldn't tan in the sun. People that do that their whole lives tend to look like shriveled leather by the time they turn 60.

    Look on the bright side -- at least we ghosties won't have skin cancer, right? ;)

    Pale is beautiful. Brown is beautiful. Fake tans and melanomas are not.

    Smoking outside has made your sister look younger...?

    You just have to embrace your paleness. I'm in the sun everyday and I can't tan, my skin doesn't have the capability to do so. Be careful of spray tans, I got one before vacation once and was bright orange.

    Nothing wrong with being pale and interesting. Fit and strong looks fabulous regardless. ;)

    I'm Scottish and as pale as they come, I just embrace it and make a big effort to get no tan. No awkward white bits as I'm all white! I have a friend from a warm climate who is positively green with envy at my alabaster skin, so I just go with it now.
