    I tan outside, in the sun. ^_^ I tan easily so it's no problem, I just walk around and then I'm tanned.

    Last summer I tried to stay pale and not tan at all, but this summer I'm going tan. My skin color really differentiates in winter and summer.

    I wouldn't artificial tan though. Scary. Plus it's terrible when people turn out looking orange.

    I can't hold a tan. I generally burn, then I look tan for a day, then back to normal.

    Besides, my sexy white boy appeal is sexy.

    Artificial tanning is a load of crap. There are so many young girls and guys even (and even people my age and older) that look so ridiculously tan it's.. well, ridiculous! What's wrong with being pale all of a sudden?
    Also, tanning lotion is the Devil's work - I cringe whenever I see my sister (she's 13) and all of her peers having the stuff smeered all over their faces. You can actually see a thick layer, and crusts. Ugh!


    A healthy looking natural tan is the way to go!

    That being said, not all artificial tans turn out looking crap and orange and overdone. Some of my friends go to tanning salons and they come out looking very nice and natural. You'd never be able to tell the difference :}~

    Natural tan ftw. Though none of this "spend all day at the beach" crap. There's a girl in my year who is as dark as heck, so she's going to get cancer and die. What a waste, it doesn't even look good on her.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    There is nothing healthy about a tan.
    Tanning is skin cells in trauma.

    Yay NSW government!

    I don't go to any great lengths to get a good tan. Sometimes I get one anyway, sometimes I don't. It's all good. :eiko:

    Since my mom is from some sort of hispanic descent, I tan pretty well. But I can burn easy too, b/c of my Irish biological father. So in winter i look like a vampire and most of spring too, but in summer and fall Im pretty tan.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    Your redundancy is redundant.

    There are horrors of natural tanning too unfortunately. I don't actively seek out tans, they seek out me when I go outside. This is why I wear sunblock whenever possible to avoid turning into this:

    I tan very easily, but am naturally very pale.

    I work in an office, so rarely get to spend the day sitting in the sun catching rays. I'll sit outside on my lunch break or at the weekend, but don't end up getting much of a tan, because I sit outside in my work clothes and I'm all covered up or by the time it's the weekend there is no sun because that's typical Britain but all of my guy friends who do jobs like building are so tanned right now because they work outside and i'm super jealous because I'm still pale

    I don't apply fake tan because most of the time people just end up looking orange, but I'll have a sunbed every now and again.

    poll should be multiple choice! I tan with sunlight and sunbed! ;D

    I'm literally not aloud to tan. I will get skin cancer. o.o
    So, if you can't tell from that, OR my profile picture, I'm very, veerrrry pale. It's really annoying sometimes, though. And a bit funny, because all my mother does is tan. > .>

    the other problem with tanning is that I never spend enough time outside shirtless to keep my upper body all one color, so I've got a pretty rockin' farmer's tan right now. especially when you compare the level of darkness from my driving arm to my steering arm.
