I am naturally pasty. I can get a tan really quick, but before that is possible I have to get a really good burn. So, every summer, I come out into the sun in my pale skin and sit out by the pool, covered in sun screen. I slowly get darker, then, one day I think I’m safe and I don’t use the sun screen. I do this every year. I get totally burned and then I can’t do anything for a few days until it wears off. Then, voila, I am tan. And I don’t usually get burned again until the next sunny season. So, this year, I’ve decided that I’m going to battle this. At the gym where I work out now, they offer free tanning. I decided that I am going to tan once a week or so to keep some kind of base tan, and then when the summer rolls around it will be as though I have been out in the sun a decent amount of time the entire break. And, tans make me look a lot more define, so this is going to be another plus. I think I just look a lot healthier with a tan. So, I started this week, and I currently have a sun burn. In November. I feel so strange. I hope that it turns into a nice brown here soon so that I can tan again next week and it not hurt like this every week I do it. I’ve heard this theory of base tan doesn’t work when the summer rolls around, but I’ll just have to see for myself this go around.
