    I am WAAAAY to pale. It's starting to really get to me. To put in perspective, you can see my veins in my chest and legs. It's gross and I don't know what to do anymore. It's not just this time of year either. It's not like I don't go out in the sun, actually I am in the sun more than not and I either fry or freckle. I've tried self tanner and it turns my skin orange and gross. I've even tried that new lotion that builds a tan as you use it and it comes out looking really weird. Anyone know what to do?

    hmmmm.. not sure how to help you.. I use the self tanner that builds up and it looks natural but I'm not fare skinned..
    wish I could help... have you tried going to a tanning salon (I don't recommend this but it might help) and just laying under for 10-15 mins so you don't burn but you have a nice glow??

    Why does everyone wanna be tan? You know, some people look good with the skin color that they have... if you're naturally really fair skinned you're just going to look odd tan, and you probably won't ever get a natural tan. Why don't you just try to accept who you are? Fair skin can be really beautiful.

    haha! you should get fat, go to a tanning bed everyday for a month, and THEN lose weight so your skin shrinks back and it looks like you're really super tan.

    I sort of have the same problem. I can get everything else tan on my body but my legs. I would go to a tanning salon 4 times a week and everytime i went my legs still looked the same from the time i walked in to the time i walked out. Ive tried self tanning lotion but i always turn orange and i look like an oompa loompa from willy wonka and the chocolate factory. lol. I always thought i couldnt get tan because i was fat so now im going to go back to the tanning salon since ive lost weight and see if im correct. Hopefully because i want to get tan. hehe.

    Kings and Queens used to be pale on purpose becuase if you were tan that meant you were a peasent becuase you were outside working. Also being fat was good. Kind of funny how its flipped.

    I have the same thing.

    My body is like a vein roadmap.

    But I like it that way. I like pale skin. :)

    lakeoffire i've seen your pictures and you look fine to me, even with your pale skin. it's a blessing that everyone looks at least a little different. just be yourself and love who you are.

    You should embrace your paleness...
    There is nothing wrong with being pale, people have veins as well, so it's nothing to try to hide.

    I'm pale in the winter and then in the summer I get darker... But I never hate my paleness, I have anemia and I use to go tanning all the time when I was younger, and then I started to develope moles that were very suspicious looking, still have them and nope haven't done a thing about them...Yes, I am smart.

    If youve always been pale then thats just the way youre made

    Im EXTREMELY pale, people even make comments about it...but ive simply always been this way, its the way my body is. I have very regular blood testing etc to test for illness or nutritional problems but i have neither and never have done

    Ive grown to like it. I dont like how it makes me look unwell in certain lights though! But it generally suits me

    If this has been a change in your tone and you havent always been that way you could always get yourself checked out for things like anemia to be on the safe side

    Otherwise i wouldnt worry a single bit...youre beautiful by the way!

    I'm really pale aswell. Only way I can get a tan is a fake one, and I'd rather look like Casper than that horrible orange.

    It's who you are, just roll with it :) If someone is going to judge you as a person based on your skin colour, then we all know what sort of person they are anyway. :)
