Pale Skin

Iam a very pale skinned person,i dont tan very easy and being so pale dosent help my confidence much but i refuse to use sunbeds to change the way i look more so because iam to scared to go into the places

I dont get much sun to help colour me as iam not out in it much as usualy when the sun is out in Scotland everywhere is busy.I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem or any suggestions that could be made to help put a bit of colour to my self,i have actualy been called "that pale guy" and stuff like that when people dont know me by name.

I know this is away off topic but any replies would be appriciated

There are some lotions that will tan your skin more easily, while others will give it more color.

I like a lot tanning saloons because I like being tanned and because the ultraviolet rays make you feel good (they change your mood positively).

I know what you mean about the mood change,when its sunny out side and i feel the sun hitting me it makes me feel good for some reason

Tanning will have a smiliar effect on you.

Scottish player, it take it that isn't your real photo then, stupid question. I am very pale also, and have considered sun beds, but got put of as they are dangerous, you could have one of those spray tans, or if you don't want to go have one done in public, just by a home self-tanning lotion. Don't really know what else there is. Although I think its quite difficult to get even coverage if you do it yourself.

No thats not me,thats my role modle in life the man himslef Bob Marley,he done so much other than great music but not many people seem to notice :roll:

What i was thinking is,iam not sure if many people have heard of this but i know there is some kind of tablet that can be taken to turn people from dark skin to light skin,thats all i know about it,take michael jackson for instance and a few other people i have seen also on the telly.I was wondering if there was something like this that could make the skin darker?

Ha ha, sorry I feel really silly now thinking that was really you :lol:

I have heard that there is a tablet you can take that when you are in the sun helps you tan better, have you heard of Immedene, there are two different kinds one just for mature skin to help you look younger but another one that I noticed came out on the shelves in summer last year called Immedene Tan or something like that, quite expensive though, bout £30 for a month supply.

i'm really pale too and tanning isn't an option. more like burning. eventually i began to embrace my paleness. half the girls at college go to the beds so much they look like thanksgiving turkeys

No no,!!!but what's the problem? 8O

Im tan but I prefer pale skin

I'm very pale. I tan easily because I have an olive complexion, but I spend so much time indoors that I never see the sun. I like it, though. I have a thing for pale skin, particularly on girls; I think dark hair and pale skin is just sooo sexy. mmmm... I love the contrast.

Add a tattoo or two (tasteful, not overbearing) and a couple piercings and there you have it. My dream girl. ;-)

pale skin makes every flaw jump out! :wink: plus doesn't it get to a point where it's near impossible to see a blush if you're reeeeally tan or black? maybe i've just never noticed but if even if it was true, i'm missing out on a real advantage 8O

I'm very pale too, but I prefer pale to tan. The only annoying part is when you go to buy a shade of foundation that matches your skin, and they don't have any that light.
I don't burn or tan no matter how long I'm outside, but my brother can go out for like five minutes and get a tan. :roll:

tan

I use a sunbed at the gym for ten minutes twice a week and it makes me quite dark ,but not over the top. It makes me feel really happy and I recommend it to anyone. Taning in moderation increases seritonin production as well as vitamin D. Both of which are important for your well being. I also suppliment with L-Tyrosine, which is a simple and cheap amino acid which makes you happy by affecting seritonin production. It also increases melanin production making you darker when you get a tan as well as helping your skin keep it's tan for longer, therefore you don't need as much UV exposure and that keeps the risks down.

There are other tanning pills on the market which also work but they are simply a hyped up combination of basic L-Tyrosine and a few vitamins for show. None of these will make you tan without exposure to the sun or sunbeds. Then there are the pills that dye your skin a bronish orange, but they are supposed to be unsure about the safety of the chemical in them so I would avoid them.

In Australia they have made a major breakthrough inna drug that stimulates natural melanin production without the need for any UV exposure. It's under trials now but should be available in 2007. It makes your skin darken as if you were out in the sun, but without the need for UV. and therefore you don't get any skin damage or cancer risks.

I am a very strong believer in moderate UV exposure for a positive mood and ever since I started going over a year ago I've been the happiest I've ever been in my life. It also clears up spots and skin blemishes.

The L-Tyrosine is fantastic too! And it's just an amino acid so it has zero side effects and cause no harm whatsoever to your health.

Get some UV and you'll be happier!! 8)

a pale skin looks awesome with all colors of hair, cool especially black hair

im annoyingly pale and i never tan at all. If i stay out in the cold my hds do go blue though :lol:
actually i like looking pale. i could always wear foundation to make my skin more coloured (im more translucent than anything) but i like having pale skin. I like the contrast with green eyes and dark hair, and looks amazing if you have really red ips - on women
and pale guys are hot. especially skinny ones.
i wouldnt worry about it, pale is as good, if not better than tan IMO

i'm pretty pale, (considering i'm italian and probably should be a lot darker :? )....i tend to stay inside, even in the summer....i give myself the excuse that the sun on your skin cn cause skin cancer 8)

I got a bit of a tan today as the sun was out here in Scotland.I was out in the garden most of the day,Only my arms and face got it though,iam not one of those ones that likes taking my t-shirt off iam not that confident yet

the suns rays sure do make ta feel good :wink:

yeah, pale guys =

Pale skin is hot 8)

I'm extremely pale also. I feel like a ghost compared to everyone else in the summer time, but I don't really care. I wish I naturally had dark skin but since I don't I'm not going to bake my skin, and I've tried those self-tanners in the past and they leave streaks on my legs, so I gave up. But I actually like my paleness now; it makes me unique because I'm one of the few people who actually doesn't have a fake tan.
