pastic Gaelic B@stard lookin to get some color...

[QueBert]

I can't tan naturally, no matter what I try. I'm either PASTY or BURNT. I was looking into this "MysticTan" apparently it was designed for people just like me (super pasty) but, around here it's expensive, about 40 bucks for the first session, and it only lasts 5 or so days. Do any pasty people have experince with this, or any other types of artifical tanning. I asked the black dude who works at the store I workat what he thinks, he just laughed (and laughed) saying I was meant to be hella white and I should just deal with it. I don't mind being pasty, but at least one month out of the year I'd like to look a lil different ha.


suggestions?

If you're pasty white, either soak in SPF 30 or SPF 45 and get VERY SMALL INCREMENTS of sun every day for a couple weeks, or deal with the fact that you look like a ghost. Your skin is genetically predisposed to being pale, so deal with it.

Don't even think about any artificial tanning solutions. Most likely, you'll end up orange. That's not a good thing.

Actually as a white guy with a skin that doesn't tan (has a slightly yellow hue to it instead of pale white) I can tell you the Neutrogena tanning foams work wonderfully well (no orange color), only downside is they only last about a week. They aren't too terribly expensive and you can try them on your ass before you do something visible.
