You could always try fake tanners. Tanning oils layered over sunscreen are worth a try also.

I have the same problem lol I've just learned to be comfortable with my plae skin..
I'd say the only was is to spray tan :)

I wouldn't recommend Sun Tanning, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to your skin! It sounds a lot like mine, and after working at a tanning salon, I know it's not a good idea to put my skin through burns just to be tan.

I honestly recommend paying for a spray tan month to moth membership at a salon. Its always one of the cheaper memberships, and the results and products in the salon are far better then any store bought products.

Yes that would help love :)
Versa Spa is a really good company, I highly recommend going to a salon with one of their spray booths.

I've used the versa spa spray tan at my local Palm Beach Tan and loved the way it turned out. I am very pale, I don't tan easily either, and was so worried I would turn orange. But luckily I tried it out and loved the results! Just make sure to shave/wax and exfoliate really well the day before going in and use TONS of barrier lotion on your hands and feet!

Haha funny Traci mentioned Palm Beach Tan since I actually work at one in my spare time. We do have Versa's :) To avoid that orange color that you are talking about buy a primer (DS Primer is amazing) to help even out your skins PH levels helping the spray to adhere better to the skin. This primer also helps extend your spray by an additional 3-5 days while a spray normally last about 5-7.

As for products, I LOVE devoted creations! They have a Salt Scrub and Tan extender that I used everytime.. Also California Tans Primer gel before is great :)

Make sure to wear a sunSCREEN when you tan. It helps you get a tan without burning :) also if you go for a short period of time for multiple days instead of a long time on one day you have a better chance of tanning instead of burning.

I cannot tan and feel your pain. My answer to it is St Moriz and it is amazing. You end up a lovely dark brown tan. No orange. No streaks as you can see where you are appling the tan. Then leave for 6hours and wash off. Before applying make sure you have exfoliated really well and moisturise. After washing it off moisturise using your moisturiser and if you want abit of glow to your tan they have a shimmer moisturiser which is so pretty and not glittery. xx
