I don't want to be tan!


 


Unfortunately, there’s no way to guarantee that your skin won’t tan at all when you’re out in the sun. However, wearing heavy-duty sunscreen—think SPF over 30—and reapplying as directed in addition to wearing protective gear—big floppy hat and sunglasses at bare minimum—will put you well on your way to protecting your natural skin color.


If you’re heading to the beach or the pool, try to spend at least part of the time under an umbrella to protect your skin. Out in full sun? Choose a long, breezy cover-up with sleeves.


Good luck, girlie, and have a fab summer!

Thanks for answering my first question! But, now my forehead started peeling too! It's really noticeable Frown I have this light blotch on my forehead now, and when all my forehead peels, the blotch is gonna get even bigger!!! I don't have foundation to cover it up with, and I'm embarrassed to go out where people can see me. Is there anything else I can do? Frown Thanks so much! Smile




Hey girl,

Since your skin is so dry that it's peeling, you should put some oil-free moisturizer on your face to rehydrate the skin. Soon, the blotch will fade when your skin is more moisturized. x0x0

Please help! Last weekend I had a soccer tournament and I got REALLY sunburned. The sunburn started to go away after a few days, but my skin got really tan! Now, my face is starting to peel!!! Half of this skin on my nose peeled away, and half of it is all tan, so the skin on my nose is like to different colors!!! Is this normal??? Is there anything I should put on my face to help this heal? Also, is there anything I can put on it to make my skin tones even for the day? Please answer! Thanks! Smile




Hey girl,

At night before you go to sleep, put some aloe on your nose to relieve the sunburn and help it heal. During the day, you can put a (very) light coat of foundation and powder over your whole face to make it look even. And remember, next time wear sunscreen! It's soooo important! x0x0

Hi, so im really tan on my legs and it looks orange. is their something i can put on them to make them look lighter.
thanks,
Gretchen Smile




Hey Gretchen,

You can try using a loofah and a body wash with exfoliating beads in the shower to buff away dead skin cells. That way, your skin will glow in a healthy and natural-looking way. But the only thing to really take the edge off a tan is time. Try to be patient and it'll fade!

1. I was at a baseball game and got a really bad tan, (my upper back is tan and lower back and stomach is white) is there any way I could even out the tan?
2.And what are some self tanners that won't turn you streaky or orange?
Thanks Smile




Hey girlie,

You could try using a glow moisturizing lotion or spray tan to even out the issue, but the only sure-fire way to even out a tan is just to give it time. If you're outside with a bare back (like in a bathing suit) and you use plenty of suntan lotion, the sun will help fade that tan line a lil faster Smile I recommend a gradual color builder over a self-tanner since those are less likely to be streaky or unnaturally orange. I love Jergens Natural Glow moisturizers for that!

MOD!!! Ahh im so white! Im the whitest person in my whole family, even if i spend hours a day in the sun outside, i just burn, no tan! I need a tan for camp but i can use spray on or lotions. Please help!




Hey girlie,

If you're not allowed to use spray-on tans or glow lotions, and you're finding it hard to tan outside, you might be outta luck on this one. It's just the way your skin is made! But remember you only get one skin - even if it isn't ideal sometimes, its yours! Try to embrace your skin and dress for your skintone while you're at camp. That way, you'll feel your best - beautiful, confident, awesome!
