Im asian with tanned skin! help?

Q: Im 13 with a really bad tan i used to be really pale when i was back in Japan and since in Japan its usually cold rather then hot so i didnt wear sunscreen in Japan and i got used to it. So then theres a family issue and we moved to australia and i wasnt aware of the intense heat and the sun and after about 4 years or 5 i got tanned real bad and my skin looks like indian skin or something(not being racist) but i really dont want brown skin coz i got long hair and it looks weird. Is there any way to get a bit pale or something without using chemicals or whatever or surgery and that crap. could you recommend some kind of cream or lotion? But make sure its natural or something coz my mum goes crazy over things and she wont even get my a hair straightner coz she thinks ill lose hair.. So yeah please help i dont wanna looks indian coz im proud of being asian and i wanna show more of it (i got epic asian hair but my brown tanned skin does not go with it for some reason =”[ HELP PLEASE D=

A: I would just start using sunscreen everytime you go outside in the sun and plan on spending at least half an hour in it. Make sure that you get a sunscreen that has a really high spf. Also, your tan will fade. I used to tan all the time and got really dark, but now my skin is glowing white. It might take a couple months for it to fade. But just use sunscreen when out in the sun and preventing those tanning rays is what is going to help.

So Seriously, Is Tanning Bad For You?

Q: My boyfriend seems to think tanning is good for you…..or let me rephrase…Is not bad for you at all.He doesnt believe that you can get aged skin or skin cancer or any of that unless you totally overdue it. He is 30! I figured he would know about this by now. He says that doctors recommend tanning a small amount regularlyHe tans 20 mins everyday at the indoor saloon.We regularly argue about this. I used to just use self tanners and he eventually got me to go tanning for real. But I still stand that I am correct.Whats the real deal?

A: To tell you frankly short and sweet, its not bad, as long as you use a good sun-block lotion. By the ways, early morning sun gives you vitamin D.

if tanning beds are so bad for you then why dont they make mystic tans cheaper?

Q: if they were cheaper then maybe i would do them instead, but they cost much more than just using a tanning bed. maybe if they were less money more people would do it.also dont say just use self tanning lotion. come on, u seriously think that is just as good as a real tan? its impossible to get it on every where (like your back!) and it can easily turn out un even. and it takes forever to put it on carefully.

A: It may come as a hard truth but…1. Not every product for sale is good for you. If this weren’t so, then there would not be cigarettes, automobiles, McDonald’s or tanning beds.2. It is up to you to make good choices. No one is responsible to keep you from doing something stupid… or lethal. That’s why we have schools and parents, though admittedly, neither have much respect anymore.It ain’t pretty but I will promise that it is all quite true.
