How can I get the perfect sun-safe tan?

 

 

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

MOD! MOD!! MOD!!! MOD!!!! MOD!!!!! I want to ask my mom if I can try self tanners yet I know how she is and she likes everything planned and that I know how to do whatever I am asking for, so I was wondering how do I use the lotion without turning orange or green or any color of the rainbow except TAN.... I bought all theses skirts and dresses and im a lil' pale so please please please help me!




Hey girlie,

Read the instructions carefully on the specific self-tanner that you buy.  Remember to exfoliate your skin before you apply...and make sure your skin is dry before you start applying.  It would be wise to use latex gloves for the application..and apply it as you would apply a moisturizer.  Good luck!

Whenever I shave my legs, I get cuts! Even when I use shaving gel! I do think I'm using it wrong.. the gel disappears after a while.. Any tips to "shave better"?

 

Hey girlie. While buying a nicer razer may be more expensive, it's worth it. Cheap razers are usually the ones that cut your legs. As for using the right techniques when shaving, ask your mom to show you how she does it. That's what I did : )

you have to buy a really natural self tanner lotion because spray ons can sometimes make ur legs green and ur body orange!! first u have to exfoliate, and a good tip is mix olive oil, water, and egg and wash your body with it and rinse and tht will give u a good glow and then apply the tanner. (:

MOD MOD MOD!!! I have a dance recital in May and we have these really pretty costumes. The only problem is that I have acne on my back and the costumes have a low cut back. I have an acne body wash but it doesn't seem to be working. What can I do to minimize it or make it go away???




hey! use makeup on your back or cover it with a nude cloth. good luck!

MOD! summer is coming up. my whole body gets really tan except for my face! it's so white because people always say to put sun screen on your face. it doesn't match with the rest of my body. also, sun screen makes my face really white and shows my acne. any advice? thanks

Hey girlie! Pimples are such a rough part of growing up. Make sure you're using a facewash that's made specifically for acne. Look for products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. If you're not getting any results, talk to your parents about seeing a dermatologist, who will have much better solutions.

Hey chica! Make sure you're not using a blunt razor. Also make sure you're drinking enough water--it's crucial for healthy skin! If the problem persists, see a dermatologist for tips. Good luck!

The country club in my neighborhood has a pool and everyone goes there. The "big thing" is to be able to do a dive. If you can do a dive its so lame! I can dive really well. My problem is that my bikini bottom wants to come off when i dive!! Is there anyhing I can do? Please help! Do you know of any cute bikini that hold tight around the butt? (i dont have much to hold it!) thanks bunches!Smile

 

Hey chica! Unfortunately, bikinis are not the suits for babes who love diving! It may be a little easier if you go for bikini bottoms that don't tie on the sides and that have thicker straps, but a one piece is your best bet for diving.

oh my gosh. my lips hurt SOO bad. like, really sore. its from having chapped lips and peeling the skin off. it hurts sooo bad. i am putting burt's bees lip balm on but it hurts even from the touch of it! what can I do to get my lips better. it hurts to move them.. thanks!

Bonjour chicky! The most important thing to do to prevent chapped lips to keep yourself from licking them. Saliva can break down a lot of the thin tissue that makes up your lips hence why they become so easy to peel off. So don't lick your lips. Doing that and continuing with the lip balm should help your lips recover in no time

What about the Vitamin D you get from the sun? I think a little time in the sun won't hurt you. Just like, don't spend the whole day exposed without sunscreen...

MODMODMOD! Next year Iam going to be in high school and I am going to be in MARCHING BAND. With our high school not just having one of the best marching bands in the region but in the NATION, theres a reason why. With over 300 hours of work put into it each season means lots of 7 hour days in the sun! We go out to practice our routine out at one of the local colleges and with the sun beating down the fake turff is a perfect for the sun to reflect off of and burn our back of our legs even more! What can I do to help my legs but not only that but my whole body from the hot summmer sun this year. I will put sunscreen on but thats not enough what extra things can I do to prevent this. It would be to hot for jeans or a long sleeve shirts. Any Ideas? THANKS!!




Hey girlie. All you can really do is put on sunscreen. Make sure you apply it ahead of time and all throughout practice to give you the best coverage. Good luck.

so you can get cancer even with sunscreen?? in the summer, i sit in the sun but i always wear sunscreen..how is this bad?




Hey girlie. If you're wearing sunscreen or not, sun rays are never good for your skin. Sunscreen will help protect your skin, and you should apply it. The sun will be less harmful to you if you're wearing sunscreen. Skin cancer will be more preventable if you wear sunscreen.

Don’t forget to apply aloe to your skin after a day in the sun. It helps preserve your tan and soothes painful sunburn.
