Okay so I napped outside, after being outside washing my car, and giving myself a pedicure, I am a bright crisp red, but somehow I am really proud of this, without a doubt it will be the most colour I get all year, and it will all be gone in two days. I burn for like a day or two and then I go back to white, not tanned. Does anyone have an explaination for why this happens, why I get white again? IP: Logged |

Hehe- I'm the opposite Jenn- I NEVER get sunburn. I'm also naturally tanned, but somehow I manage to get an unwanted tan every summer. It's irritating. Sybil [This message has been edited by duncanbox (edited July 13, 2002).] IP: Logged |

haha. i haven't been out all summer. but for me, i usually live outside on the water when i go wakeboarding. i put on tanning lotion, and then i get a pretty nice tan. you just have to remember to turn over every 15 minutes!! right now i am so white. let's just say i have no tan lines at all. it's pretty cool being white though. no one would guess i'm cuban.

I get naturally tanned. I'm Mexican American so I already have brown skin and I live in Houston so the sun is always out. I always get tanned, even if I don't want to cause I have to go out alot. Aquagirl But my roomate is also Mexican-American but she is very white and can't tan. She hates it and always complains about it during the summer cause she only burns. IP: Logged |

I'm a 30 sunblock kinda girl myself, hehe. I did find this great mist on tan though. Looks natural without the damaging affects from the sun. I am not gonna fight the aging process, however I am not gonna help it out either. LOL! IP: Logged |

I feel ya Jenn. I went swimming a few weeks ago, used spf 50 3 times, and got sunburned really really bad. Especially on my chest. It blistered and I still have lil white bumpy thing's. But yea, I'm white as a ghost now, like usual! The sun sucks. Jen  IP: Logged |

Well I have sunburn now too and i was using 30, went out last night and bought some 45 sunblock, lets hope this works. I forget that the sun here in Texas is a tad bit stronger than what I was used to in PA. IP: Logged |

See the deal is with sunblock is that you have to keep putting more on. And even then you still can get tanned if not burn, and this sadly I know from a fresh expereince. Yesterday I was at the shore and put on 30 spf like all the time and my face is a painful red. I even used Zinc oxide...which is meant to be very protective. I burn easier because of some medication I am on, so that is another factor to consider. Crystal ~~~~++++~~~~ IP: Logged |

I'm the same way...either white as a ghost or red as a lobster! It has to do with the mount of the brown pigment melanin that's in our skin...the less you have of it,the less capable you are of bronzing. IP: Logged |
