I'm extremely pale and I'm pretty much noted as very pale by everyone. My veins show through everywhere. The underside of my forearm is as white as paper.

Hi guys!

I'm desperate because since I was born I love pale skin, but don't have it... So I'm looking for a cream that can bleach my skin...
What did Micheal Jackson do, to bleach his skin and so quickly?!?
I can't see why is so "normal" or "cool" for you to get tanned and why is awful to get a pale skin!!! Sad

If it really bothers you, use a lotion but don't go to a tanning salon or spend a lot time in the sun without protection because especially with your pale skin, it might be easy for you to get skin cancer. A lot of people when they're young say they don't care if they get it, but they regret it later and say it wasn't worth it. Even if people say they look healthier with a tan, it really is a sign of being unhealthy. Seriously, the only healthy tan is from a bottle. Besides, pale can look cool. Plenty of celebrities are pale, Nicole Kidman, Liv Tyler, Elijah Wood, Zooey Deschanel.....they're smart!!!!
I wouldn't call myself "pale," but I don't really tan (I just get more color), but I also don't sunburn very easily either. When I was in junior high I hated how I couldn't tan and would try various sunless tanning lotions, which were impossible to get even. And they gave me streaks, even though the bottle said "streak-free." They just kind of give the appearance of having dirt on your face. Anyway, now I'm 17 and I've come to really prefer white (not tan) skin. I have dark hair and blue eyes, so I really have come to appreciate the contrast (kind of a more mysterious look or something). It's just more unique, so many people fake-bake so it's not like you look at them anymore and say, "whoa, nice tan." At the same time, I know I'm being healthy, besides people who spend tons of time in the sun get wrinkles really early, sometimes in your early thirties, you can also get skin cancer that young.

That's so funny,others want to bleach and others want to be darker! I've got pale skin too,I think it doesn't show from the pics,but I have it! I feel bad about it too,especially at summer,when everybody looks darker. I can't be exposed to sun a lot either,as my skin is very sensitive and I'm allergic.Maybe I should try a lotion too. Anyway, I'm happy that there are people who find pale skin attractive!

I have pale skin myself, but I don't consider it a liability. It just means I have to put on a little extra sunblock when I go outside but thats about it.

Lots of pages, so I don't know if anyone has suggested this yet, but there is a form of "spray tan." There's ones that you can use that last up until you take a shower (or a 24 hour period I believe) and there's places you can go to pay for a spray tan that lasts far longer.

I'm extremely white, as well here's a webcam pic of me from a few years ago.



I've never been able to tan, but once I did try some spray tan it worked wonderfully. I was extremely happy, because I actually felt more "alive" since..I did look it.

I always got made fun of in high school for having so white of skin. People called me casper and it really upset me.
