    Negative tan. I used to tan (like yearrrrsssss ago) but since I've found out so much about how bad it is for skin and aging and possibly cancer risks, I have toned it down quite a bit. In the summer I use at least an SPF50 all of the time and everywhere. Still get a light tan. In the winter I am mostly covered but on my face I use a moisturizer that has SPF30 in it.

    only thing important in life is a tan i say...who cares if a girl is caked in makeup and fake tan?if they feel confident that way then let them do whatever the **** they want.

    I've seen this before... is it from Jersey Shore? I don't watch

    I'm not tan at all. I live in Florida and I still manage to stay pale even throughout the summer.

    a tan is a must for me and if it is winter and no sun I fake it! I get spray tans regularly and in summer love soaking in the sun... the more tanned i am the better ... afterall tanned fat looks better than white fat i say hehe:tongue:

    I went to Aruba for a week and my friends/mom were positive I came back paler than I was before! And I'm okay with that. I am pretty ghosty. I also don't tan. I laid out on the beach for the whole week I was on vacation and. Still ghosty! xD

    I live in Australia and spent 6yrs working in the remote North West (the outback) - summer temperatures can often reach over 50 degrees celcius there. I'm also Burmese decsent so I have naturally olive skin and tan easily... But I'm as white as a ghost! :laugh: :laugh: Skin cancer and the 'leather look' is soooo not pretty! I must admit I could do with a good spray tan though - I'm almost flourescent!... :tongue:

    I get farmer's tan from activities but I wear sunscreen and try to avoid it whenever possible. Use to set up facial laser surgeries for some dermatology docs, seeing the face with ears gone, noses lasered off mm by mm and eyelids off will stop many from tanning.

    I'm pretty melanin challenged. I don't tan. I just burn and freckle so I carry SPF 50 sunscreen with me pretty much everywhere...

    Hah. I know what you mean. My wife is chinese, and it's very obvious when she has spent any time in the sun. I like not having to worry about it myself.
