    Hi Lizzay,

    There's a new moisture in stores now I have, mine is Jergen's

    that also has a tanning solution in it. I went to a meeting and people told me how good & healthy I looked because I have several deceases that I usually look very pale, and this was only 5 days of using it! I strongly reccomend it as it's doing 2 things, moisturing & natural color as it on goes to shade of what your tone should be! It is also imperative to do your neck

    too in order to blend in with your face. There's different kinds but i got the cheapest one as I didn't believe it but it really works! Try it you'll love it, I do and pale people look sick or unheathy but I feel better about me and even put double coats

    of it on if I am going out! I hope you try it I know you'll like it as it's colour changes slowly therefore it doesn't look phoney.

    Hope u try it, as for me it was God Send!

    Bye for now,

    diana d

    Hey! I'm 16 and a natural redhead, so I'm pretty pale as well. I'm outside a lot in the summer, and although I can get sunburnt at times, by August I have a pretty good tan goin. I love the sun, but I take it slow. So I would suggest spending time outdoors and building up a gradual tan. Also, some body lotions have gradual tanners in them. I have Breathe, which smells great. You can get this brand at Bath and Body Works. Victoria's Secret makes a great shimmery tinted body oil which gives your whole body a great glow. And for your face, I would suggest a tinted moisturizer with SPF, which protects your fair skin from the harsh sun while still giving you color. Then apply a light dusting of bronzer and some blush, and you're set! Oh, and if you've ever heard of the Mystic Tan, that's a great option. Much better than lying in a tanning bed!

    Good luck! .....and remember, don't worry what your friends think! I'm proud of being the pale one in my group of friends!

    I've seen some beautiful girls (women) with really pale skin (look at Nicole Kidman!). If your skin is clean, clear, looks healthy, that could be your "signature" look. Try enhancing it, by just a little soft blush, a smudged brown eyeliner, and a little mascara, maybe some red (yes, I said red!) softly applied lipstick. Push your hair away from your face and let your face show! Could it be your friends are a little jealous of your complexion? Play it up, I say! Keep it clean and uncluttered. You will be known for your great skin, trust me!

    With the rising number of skin cancers found every year, i think you should just keep the trend alive. Tis better to be pale and healthy then have a tan and have half your skin removed later in life due to cancer, blisters and don't forget, tanning causes wrinkles. Your friends will look like corcodiles later in life while you will still look young and fresh.

    If it is problem for you - go gothic. Don't worry bout what friends think.

    try some tanning lotions and keep putting on bronzer or you can go for a totally new look for pale people. it looks really cute too i promise. get some rosey peach blush and put it on to the high apples of your cheeks and it really brings out your color. you were born with pale skin.. why not keep it dont try to look like every one else with tan skin. so what your pale?

    Go to a makeup counter (like Clinique) for advice. And there is no such thing as "too pale". If your friends are constantly tanning, in 10 years they will have crazy wrinkles all over their faces and you won't! Tanning is really just sun damage.

    Don't listen to them! Your skin will not be wrinkled at 25 like your friends who tan. Besides, look at Nicole Kidman and other celebrities that are super pale. Do your friends think she is "too" pale?

    Look at yourself and decide if you are too pale. You may be. Do you have plenty of energy? Feel good? You may need to get a doctor checkup. You could me anemic. Pops

    Jergen's Natural Glow at department stores for 6 or 7 dollars.

    But make sure that you let it COMPLETELY dry before putting your clothes on or like putting your arms on your side, otherwise you will have white places where it rubbed off. (:

    Tanning, RUINS your skin.

    technically your friends are being raciest against people of northwestern Europeans decent. what would happen if someone said to someone else was too dark and they were African American.

    love yourself the way you are. its ok to use bronzer or self tanners but know you will never be incrediblely tan it's just not in your genes.

    try a gradual sunless tanner i like stuff from bath and body works

    it's ok to put jergens on your face but it is probaly safer to use specific lotion for your face it's probaly not as strong
