I am usually the most tan of all my friends and family. I really am scared to death of getting skin cancer though. And it's super bad for your skin is what everyone tells me. So I'm thinking bout doing the spray tan thing and Layin out in the summers.. What does everyone else do about them pale selves? Lol
 
When it's warm out (which is most of the year) I just lay outside...20-30 minutes each side. When it's cold I do use the tanning bed. Skin cancer runs rampant in my family so this isn't really the wisest idea, but I hate being pale. I don't get nearly as brown as I do when I can lay outside, but it's better than looking like a ghost. I only do 6 minutes every 3-4 days, which isn't much at all compared to others. There's a whole lot worse things to do than tanning.
 
I need to use a tanning bed nearly all year because of my current geographical location. They, in my opinion and in moderation, can be a good substitute for natural sunlight.

It's been shown that moderate use of a tanning bed during winter months and cold climates can offset depression.

This is true, one of the reasons why I do fake-bake. Apparently, I am miserable if I don't

I'll second that one. Moving back from AZ to Detroit I needed some substitute sunlight. It does relax me and I feel better plus it keeps my skin clear.

the sun is ntoba dfor you. sun on the skin is VERY VERY healthy for you. mos tof yoru vitaminD is from here.
its TOO MUCH sun that is bad, eather all at once (which is more obviose as it usually means a burn) or long term from lots of tanning.

tanning 2-3 times a month is no biggie in the sun.
in the tanning bed its not as good for you but still 1-2 times a month is no biggie.
if your very pale and the rest of your family (genetics) then i woudl say dont try getting a tan, pray on or use MT2 (its an injectable peptide)

even for pale people DEFF get atleast 20min of sun a week. 10min 2X a week.
 
there is alot of hype over the sun to skin cancer thing and it pissis me off. use sunscreen if you out all day yes, but dont ware if to go to the mall or to go get food, we NEED the sun.

just my op
