Pale vs. Tan

breesays Jun 04, 2009
I grew up 15 minutes from the beach in sunny Southern California. There are almost as many tanning salons as there are Starbucks. Having that glow about you is perceived as “healthy.” No one talks about skin cancer. Basically, this is a reminder for myself, and for those of you not born bronzed (or with the kind of skin that just doesn't burn), that sunbathing—or fake baking in a bed, for that matter—are pretty darn harmful. Here are some side by sides of tanners vs. the protected pale. Sun safety, y’all. Keep it real.

    OMG, clearly Hayley..even though Ashley's tan isn't THAT bad. It could be worse. But still, Hayley is awesome.

    I agree. I think if you're meant to naturally have bronzey skin (like I do) then thats all fine. If you're genetically meant to be pale then why put yourself at risk to be tan? Its utterly ridiculous. :/
    I like being brown!...most of the time. Lol. But if I got any lighter I'd have a yellowish tint and that'd look weird. :)

    So, loos like someone's been brainwashed by ad agencies and the media. "Beauty at any cost" is only a prominent theme in those who are rattled with insecurities. In your case being overweight and unattractive could be a contributor as to why you are prey to what TV tells you, you should look like. A tanned, bleached blond hair, oompa loompa. Every comment you post is advocating the more "fake" look. Develop an original personality, jeez.

    =( Tan is so beautiful though. I'm naturally very pale, I'm ok with it until I'm in a swimsuit in the blazing sun, that's when my skin looks ghostly. I lay out with tanning oils that (supposedly) block harmful rays...know if these are any safer?

    There is no such thing as helpful rays from the sun. They all do some form of damage, so in answer to your question: Not at all. UVA and UVB will both cause cancer. Your best to wear a decent sun block and be done with it.

    What you see on the outside is really a reflection of the inside. Considering the amount of legit information available on the side effect of tanning (be it natural or tanning beds), the fact that these vain women put their health and life on the line in the pursuit of someone else's vision of beauty shows that they don't love themselves, and have no self respect. They didn't wake up one morning and wish to be tanned, they were influenced to feel that way. Whenever I see a tanned woman who should be naturally white (especially the cold months of winter) All I really see is a sad girl trying to changing who she is so someone will love her, all the while never loving herself.

    And if you believe that you really want to be tan, then you too are a victim of media brainwashing. End of story.

    No offense, but you seem to simply have something against the Twilight actresses.
