If you are pale, like me, how long would it take for you to get a nice tan if you start off going tanning toda

Answer:
Pale skin is healthy skin. However you can be sure to get skin cancer in a couple of years. Not to mention premature wrinkling. Go for a self tanner instead. I have seen so many girls, and women who tan, and their skin looks like leather! I have repeated my self on this topic so many times, but I will say it again. Do a search on Mohs surgery, this is what happened to my mom from using a tanning bed. Do yourself a favor, and save yourself from having to go through the torture of surgery in the future!
Other Answer:
you would have to atleast stay in one for 30 mins. every other day so you don't get burned and you would have to make sure not to fall asleep
start with 10 minutes today then increase do not let yourself burn and wear plenty of sunscreen, it will take about a month to get a good tan.
Depends. Some people who are pale simply burn and peel. Others get freckles, burn and peel. I would go with Nutragena no-sun self tanners.

Most pale-skinned people are highly suseptible to skin cancer, so tanning just may not be an option. If you get too much sun on a regular basis, you will look old and leathery by 30.
