How can I get the perfect sun-safe tan?

How can I get a nice tan without damaging my skin?

 

I hate to break it to ya, girlie, but the only safe tan is a fake tan. “Real” tanning, whether you get it while sitting in the sun or lying in a tanning bed, damages your skin even if you slather on the sunscreen. That can cause bad burns, wrinkles, sun spots and even cancer. Who wants that? Not us!

 

To get a healthy, sun-kissed glow, try using bronzer during the early spring months and a sunless tanning lotion as summer creeps closer. The Jergens Natural Glow line is our top product pick, and comes in a variety of formulas depending upon your skin tone. 

 

One more thing before I sign off: To keep your skin fresh and young, you should always wear sunscreen on your face and body. Even if it’s cloudy, your skin can still be damaged by UV rays sneaking through the atmosphere. And from one porcelain princess to all the others out there: Pale is pretty! Embrace your skin tone, sweeties.

Hey girly girl! I'd make an appointment to see a dermatologist about them. Then, you can get them taken care of once and for all! Smile

I'm part native american and mexican, so I'm fairly tan but I have these white spots on my knees and elbows. I've tried to tan them but they stay white. My peers joke about it and I'm cool with that but when my parents do it its a whole different story. What can I do???

 

Hey! tell your parents that you're not comfortable with them making fun of you. they'll understand. good luck!

OMg Chika, same here, but i you put on spf 30 or 20, it helps you from getting Sunburt! But it will let you get tan, just don't put a lot on... ~ Sophie Meyers Smile

Hey Sissmor!
I couldn't get on your profile but, one thing that you could do is apply something called arnica, it reduces coloring from bruises. It won't completely go away, but it will be less noticeable. I hope that this helped! Good luck girlie! Smile

i am a dancer, and i know i should expect this but i get brusis all over by body and it is raely embarising, one time i had one on my chest and when i was going to the pool, and one of my friends in dance class pointed the bruis out! is there any possible way to make them less noticable?
