    I do not use any artificial tanning products. I have the option, every summer, to become darker in skin color by spending time in the sun.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I've used fake tan once when I was like 12 years old. My friend put it on me so it didn't streak or anything. I've been to the sunbeds twice in my life, I quite liked them they helped with my dry skin. I never tan though, I'm just so fair and pale. ;;

    Yep...

    Tried it once and came out looking like a tangerene. Not so good. Nope.

    However, I do spend some time in the sun, but my skin's so sensitive that i cook, peel, and get paler...

    *sigh*

    lol @ orange girls, you're doing it wrong.

    I do this instead. Mmhm, so relaxing too. Except I didn't go tanning this year, I'm all white and glowy.

    I always use fake tan, and I have never once been "orange". If you're orange then you're doing it wrong and getting the wrong type of fake tan.

    Fake tan is better for your skin, which is something you're all forgetting. Good luck with your aged skin from too much sun exposure~

    I like being white.

    Jergens came out with Natural Glow. This is the biggest piece of skullskullskullskull product ever for pale girls. Even the fair one! It seriously makes you orange. I put it on my legs once and had the ugliest nastiest orange yellow brown color. And it was streaky, even though it told me to use it "just like everyday lotion" which is skullskullskullskullskullskullskullskull.

    Then Olay came out with quench with the hint of sun. I didn't mind that as much. But I don't know what the smurf they make now and I'm not interested. I like being pale.

    I R AZN I DO NOT AGE. :goofy:
    It's still artificial in any case. I guess that's the part that kinda puts me off. It ain't what your momma gave you.

    Yeah, if you don't take care of yourself and use lotions and sit in there for 30 smurfing minutes.

    I much prefer it the natural way. I don't particularly like fake tans especially if they're too obvious. Ugh, there's nothing worse.

    Also, what's wrong with being a little pale? Sometimes I don't understand the fascination about having to be tan all year long.

    I was sorta expecting more people to be using fake tan when I read this, but I think it's kinda cool to see people like being pale/normal skin colour I'm not super pale but quite pale and I guess I like it cos it's natural and I generally try and be as natural as poss (and cos I'm lazy, yes. xD ) Also I saw someone applying it on tv and it looked really icky, I think covering one's face in makeup is icky enough, but the whole body? just looks a bit messy and washing it off must be a hassle too o_O

    However, the tanning machine looks scarier misfit ;_; I'm sure it's generally harmless but it reminds me of that movie, final destination 4 I think, when someone gets stuck in one and burnt to death. xD

    I reckon you're right zeldy that if you *do* want to be brown (and although I wouldn't personally like to use it, I do think it looks good on people if they apply it well), it's a pretty safe way to do it Darker skin does look nice on people with dark hair.

    Dale Winton is living proof that fake tans look all orange and erm... fake. No, just plain ghastly.
    Not for me. Fake stuff is for fake people.
