I'm seriously so pale. If I lay out, I turn into a lobster and then peel so badly! I want to do the tanning beds, have any of you pale girls out there tried it? Does it look like a natural tan!? I got a spray tan once, and no thank you. Not for me lol I don't want to go every 4 days to get sprayed on, and then look blotchy 4 days later!! Any suggestions?

I'm pale. I own a tanning bed. Just start very slow....if you go to a tanning salon they will be more than willing to help you.0

I'm pretty sure if you burn in the sun you will do the same in a tanning bed! Embrace your paleness I'm a natural redhead and I've come to terms that I will be forever white...with the exception of freckles. But maybe you can try some of the gradual tanning lotion, you can get it in fair, medium, and dark... Start with fair.0

Own it! Pale's beautiful0

Don't tan. You will regret it and look 10 years older than you are in your 40s. I was spray tanned once for a physique challenge at our gym, and I won't do it again either. I just look white and do not mind as I would rather not have cancer and wrinkles.0

I also turn into a lobster. My friend used to work at a tanning salon and after 6 minutes I still ended up burnt. I have embraced my reflective qualities.0

I am pale. I won't use tanning beds (I watched final destination).
Spray ons always look orange to me0 -
Don't use tanning beds, they can cause skin cancer just like the sun. Best choice is to use Jergen's Natural Glow sunless tanning moisturizer. There are multiple color levels to get from pale to a beautiful and healthy glow without exposing yourself to UV rays. I use it and it works for me.0

I WAS pasty pale, almost see through. shoulda called me casper. i tan now, yes, I burned and it hurt like a *****, but if you can get through the first few sessions dealing with it, after you get a base tan you won't burn anymore.
The workers at most salons are trained to know what level and how long people should go in for. I would go in and talk to them.0 -
I'm fine being pale. I make it work.0

Tan girls look so much skinnier, and when they are skinny they look so much better. I don't want to tan a lot, just build up a base tan so I don't look like casper!!
and I tried lotions, they don't work. Jergens in particular. Makes me pasty and just, not attractive. and not to mention ORANGE!0 -
I personally love being pale and would never want to tan. Beds are terrible for you, not to preach but they are.
Maybe give the spray tanning another shot, its not bad for you and I've seen really really pretty / nice results...you just have to find a good place and maybe spend a bit more.0 -
I'm pale too and burn to a crisp in the sun. I've noticed that while training outside (using sunscreen of course) I've developed quite a nice tan... sadly it has my singlet outline on my shoulders and back, but it's okay.
I have spray tanned before and also used those gradual tinted moisturisers which are okay but I always get patchy!!
We have tanning laws here and I'm not allowed to go to a salon to tan because I'm too fair, and for that reason I wouldn't even try buying my own. If there are regulations against it, heaven knows I'd stuff it up myself at home.0 -
Pale skin is much more attractive than skin cancer .....0

The jergens healthy glow is a good alternative, for people who don't want to tan.
And yes, tanning beds DO increase risks of cancer, but not by much. the risk of melanoma in the average person who doesn't tan is .02%. it only increases to .03% for people who use tanning beds.0 -
I agree...love yourself just as you are. There are wonderful things about being pale!! Less wrinkles, no tan lines AND you get to wear those awesome huge hats when out-of-doors )0

I agree with this. it took me a long time to understand this myself. your skin will thank you later!0 -

THIS! Do I look 42?0 -
Honestly, I love my pale women.
I am pretty dark caramel myself, and I just love my plain vanilla. We compliment each-other nicely0 -
I am pale as hell. When I was a bar tender and I had to look a certain way for my job I used to do spray tans all the time, versa spa is much better than mystic. Now I just embrace my paleness0
