hey /fit/, I'm naturally pale (yay genetics).
I get complimented on my body with the underhanded insult on my complexion. Something along the lines of "... all you need now is a tan".

So what am i getting at? Apart from getting more sun, is there a way i can adjust my diet to encourage the tanning process?

Eeehhh, I don't suggest purposely tanning a pale complexion, ever. Just eat healthy and take care of your skin- you won't worry about cancer or uneven lines. Tans are so superficial anyway, and make you look like a crusted shar pei when you get much older.

i WISH i was pale. less sun damage, less wrinkles later in life. my years in hs just surfing and shit gave me a more or less permanently tan compleckshion, and now that I'm in college and i can't be outside all the fucking tiem, i'm still almost as tan.

except now i don't WANT to be tan, pale is secksee. so FUCK YOU OP, and fuck your friends who think that being tan is cool.

also, have fun getting cancer

tanning is dumb

if your pale because of how you live your life then it's good that it reflects on your body

i.e. if you're a farmboy/beachfag then tan is okay

Eating carrots might help. Other than that, more sun is the only way to darken your skin.

I personally love tans, or at least a little color. Pale skin is gross unless you're a redhead. Regardless, don't tan just because of other people's opinions. If you're happy with the way you are, stick to it. There are people on every side - conform to the one you actually like.

OP here.

Thanks for the nice feedback.

If you eat a shit ton of carotenoids and other dark/colorful antioxidants it should give your skin a nice tint. Things that are really dark staining, like turmeric, blueberries, spinach (not so staining), etc. Essentially just eat a lot of all the colorful foods/spices that people say are so good for you anyways, and even if you don't eat enough to tint your skin it'll probably give you enough antioxidant power to ward off skin cancer.

Don't tan. Pale skin is a blessing; anyone who things pale people should tan is a fucking idiot.

too many carrots turn you orange, so be sure to vary your coloured food!

Just get enough sunlight from walking around outside to look natural. No point in looking like a guido or a pasty-face.

there's difference between salon sunbed/spray tan than sun, former are both orange and hideous. stay plae than go fake, only way a tan will look good if it's natural.

Pale skin is not attractive. I'm not for guido orange but color is nice.

You do NOT have to say indoors and walk around in a burka to protect yourself from sun cancer.

Everyone is ugly when they are old. You're not going to be a 60 year old pale hottie. And unless you destroy your skin you will not be too much worse off anyways.

At least get a slight tan. Such as this. Pasty white is gross. it encourages acne, and shows more flaws.

Ok, which would you prefer? Looking pale now and having great skin when you are older (ie, less wrinkles not skin cancer..)

Or looks great now (not to me at least) and have horrible wrinkles and skin cancer later?

Looking good now. Because I'm going to be ugly when I'm old anyways.

Has anyone here considered sun can be good for you in moderation? Dries out the oil in your skin, vitamin D.

No. They get raged because they don't leave thier rooms. And get butt hurt at the thought of it.

I'm a basement dweller too. But I go outside sometimes.

Sun makes your skin healthier, helps clear acne, and looks better.
