Did it once when I was 17. I'll never do it again. It just didn't look like me in the mirror... I'm pale and proud, LOL.

But seriously though, you're a guy, right? I didn't think guys went in for spray tans and the like? I remember there was a boy in my class in school who came in one day wearing his sisters fake tan. Even the teachers gave him an awful time about it, LOL.
Besides, it's really not attractive. I don't think so anyway. I hate seeing all these young girls going around like Oompa Loompas. And on a boy, it's worse.
I'm sure you're ok as you are. You don't need it. ;-)

Pale and proud! smile

Yeah I'm a guy .I wear make up 2. I'm just tired of being pale.I'm the only pale person in my family .I was just curious .I bought self tanning spray one time and it made me look like some one from jersey shore ,it was different but I liked it.I figured getting it done professionally would be worth it

IheartCali	If I were a pale person I would own it. There's a lot of demographics out there who's yearning for fair complexion believe it or not...If you do decide to get a tan however don't let Ross thing happen to you!

I forgot to post pictures but it's basically getting uneven tan throughout different parts of your body...!

I've decided I'm going to try a self tanning lotion instead for now.I would be kinda embarrassed to go to a tanning salon and figure I could save up to get a spray on tanning machine on amazon .it costs $200 but for now I'll try the self tanning lotion and see how well that works.

My Ex and her daughter (who are White) lived in the Tanning Salons..."Sun your Buns Salon"...I always laughed at that name...The first time I went in there to buy tanning gift-cards the Cashiers looked at me like I was crazy...Anyways...My Ex's 20'something daughter looked Great when she did the Spray-tans...She's Gorgeous and don't need it but you'd never know she got one...

Superfan1984	It's usually detectable and looks silly. I think you should own your pale skin. It's a rarity, you should be proud and make it work for you. When I see someone like Karen Elson with such white skin, I think it is beautiful.

Ottensen	Be careful, because if you're in a humid environment it could go terribly wrong when perspiration is involved

Feline	Which one did you buy? Keep us posted on if it's any good plse. I'm considering buying one, only for occasional use as the chemicals concern me.

Well I tried it again yesterday with a different spray tan solution and this time I left it on for 12 hours instead of 3 . I got great results but for some reason my neck didn't tan.gonna try 24 hours next time

okay i know this is not helpful at all but wouldn't it be a kick to die oneself faintly purple? some exotic color, like rose mango? that would be really pretty. is it possible for you to tinker with the machine and alter the tanning formula that way?
