Pale skin = Skin Cancer free down the road
I'm with you, natural skin color is beautiful and protecting it from the damaging rays of the sun and fake tanning beds is incredibly important.

I agree! Its modern to wear your own sking color, orange is so retro!
Beautiful just the way you are!
Taking a quote from Bruno Mars, it's really your own individual perference to be who you are!
Having a fake tan is much better than risking getting skin cancer from a real tan. I don't think you shouldn't let people get to you for being "pale".

Tan?! No thanks, I am happy with my color.

I'm proud to be pale. Yes at times I may look like a vampire but I also think of my pale skin as an artist palette for all kinds of crazy colors. I sometimes use sunless tanners in the summer but overall I like my look. I think this comes down to being confident with yourself and in your own skin. I don't want to look like someone else I am happy to look like me! So many people with fake tans look the same and I am happy to be an individual! Lets face it, there is nothing more gross looking then a person with skin the color of an om-pa loom-pa!

St Tropez never makes anyone look orange, that's why it's the leader in the industry.
a fake tan is. . .fake
Besides looking like an oompa loompa everytime I have tried to fake tan, I just feel like a fake when I try it. Pale is who I am and why should I cover who I am?
Pale and proud!
I also get comments about how pale I am, but it is hard work! I would rather take good care of my skin and protect it than try to hide it with a fake or (gasp!) real tan. If you need any motivation to protect your skin, just take a look at an older woman who has tanned a lot. Yikes!
Being fair makes foundation shopping pretty tough. I certainly can't wear any tinted moisturizers because they are all too dark!
You bet I am pale
I have been told I was too pale so many times in my life... I used to say "If God wanted my skin a different color I would have been born that way." Now I just tell them how old I am - I am 42 and look 30. That shuts them up and I don't risk offense to one's religion or ethnicity.

I like my pale skin, too. Last summer just for curiousitys sake, I laid out and tried to tan a few times. Not because I really wanted to tan, just to see if I could. I managed to get a decent one going. More like a farmers tan though. I'll stick with my even pale skin tone lol
