it seems like im the whitest person alive. every person at school comments on how im as white as a piece of paper. i need to get a tan for college, for the females prefer guys that arnt as white as a corpse no? what is the best time of day to recieve a tan with suntan lotion and how long should i be exposed before damadging myself?
 
I'm the same way and spent a full day outside this weekend. I'm covered with firery red and burning skin. 🙁 Should turn to a well browned tan within a couple days or so. I would recommend just going to a tanning bed thats guaranteed not to burn.

no way am i going to waiste money on one of those when i have a giant star outside my door
 
The best way... if your not used to the sun, thirty minutes on one side, thirty minutes on the other.. then run inside...

high SPF sunscreen, and a higher number on your face.. and don't forget your ears and the tops of your feet
 
You must venture out into the light of the day star. Put on some sun tan lotion, get outside, and do something! Go golfing, wash your car, go swimming, or go running.

Always use sunscreen, if you're as white as you describe then you'll probably get a major sunburn if you dont keep well protected. Sometimes people are just predisposed to light skin and theres no much you can about it.
 
the whiter you are, the harder it is I believe. I can get a tan super easily even without using any suntan or sunblock lotion. When exposed to the sun, you have to wear sunblock lotion no matter what. I guess do it progressively? like have fun and go swim for like half an hour, play tennis for an hour..etc

Anyone who thinks tanning is healthy spends too much time in front of the TV. A Tan is burnt epidermal cells. Anyone with a family history of skin cancer should avoid tanning and sunburn.

i never go outside, my dad is dark, my mom is dark also (for white people)
 
Find a spray on tanning place and save your skin. UV tanning, especially for someone with your skin type, is very unhealthy.
 
Always butter up with sun screen. I had sun-poisoning about 8 years ago and it was very, very, very bad. I am permanently marked from my unprotected exposure to the mother star.

Get out in the sun, mow the lawn, take a hike, whatever, just use sunscreen.

If he's pale, that will burn the f' outta him.



In a bright, warm sun, give ten minutes each side, everyday. If you start to feel a bit burnt any day, skip the next. When your skin gets used to that, go for 15-20... you gotta build up so your skin gets the tolerance.

Use a good-level SPF sunscreen.

That, or just get outside and do something once in a while.

Not entirely true--I hear some groups in India perpetuate the more "white" you are the more "pure" (better) you are. In that case you could do well if you go for Indian women.

Use a spray on tanner.

That mystic tan stuff i hear doesnt last very long, the spray on kind that celebrities use. If i remember correctly someone on tv said to stay dark you have to do it like every 2 weeks or something. Probably expensive too.

I'm light skinned too, if you're scotch-irish good luck trying to tan, like Conan O'brien says, if you're Irish you don't tan, you just burst into flames.
 
Tanning is damaging to the skin but not enough sun is bad, too. Getting exposed to sun helps your skin produce vitamin D for your body. You do need some sunlight to remain healthy.

You need to find a transparent girl then.

BTW If all a girl cares about is your complexion she probably isn?t worth messing with. 🙂
