    I'm black. I was born with it
  • I usually get it from the sun, because the smell from the tanning salon gives me a migraine, :D So in the winter months I really pale. :)

    I get my tan during the summer, especially when I'm out lifeguarding and walking around the horse ring. I maintain my tan, but just being outside constantly. Although, I do lost my color within the winter months as I'm wearing long sleeves and pants ):

    I am snow white pale (people always think I'm Irish until they hear the Australian accent!) soooo from a tube. If you need any tips hit me up, not much room for error when you're paper-white ;) haha

    i'm a geek, I only tan when I am forced to go outside and it is too hot to keep my shirt on.

    I dont, unless I go on holiday to a sunny climate

    I am either pale, covered in freckles, or burnt and hate using fake tan.

    So i stay pale!

    The sun but mainly while I'm running or just hanging out outside. I haven't intentionally tanned in years.

    good point...OP try finding a way to put more melanin in your skin
  • luckily I have olive skin and stay a decent color most year but I do admit to some light tanning bedness in the spring before I go to the lake/pool so I don't get burnt after being outside for long periods of time.

    In the sun. I have to coach sport and also while I'm spending time with my horses every day. I'm really pale during winter, though!
