I was wondering why so many people are obsessed with being tan. I have porcelain skin, and I don't get what's so bad about it. Yes, I burn easily, and yes it does get annoying when everyone points out that I have pale skin. But for me, it was never an issue until other people were nagging me about it.

I don't know. It is just one of those poorly thought out fads just like everything else. I commend people like you who embrace their beauty ie your porcelean skin! I think your skin tone is gorgeous and I always thing girla who have your tone and think about how gorgeous it looks! I say if you have brown, tan skin naturally because of yoru ethnicity fine - it's beautiful. If not, that's just as beautiful. Don't burn your skin for a fad - You will oay for it later!

Forget those who nag you. If you have nice porcelain skin, be proud of it and protect it. Play it up even. There is nothing wrong with being pale as long as you dont look sickly.
You would think folks would learn to avoid over tanning, since the risk of cancer is so great.

OMG! I totally agree with you; and not to mention the fact that tanning is bad for your skin!! Girls that are in their early 20's, and tan, should take a look at someone 40 something! They would probably stop!!! Have you seen those women who have been tanning for a long time?? Their skin looks horrible!! The so-called "healthy" look of a tan is only temporary!! It slowly damages your skin!! People forget the skin is delicate; and that we must care for it!! Tanning is so overrated!!!

People sometimes point out how pale I am. I just think to myself all those sun worshippers are going to get wrinkly skin pretty young. I think pale women are more beautiful than sun tanned northern European types. Naturally olive skinned people are beautiful too but northern Europeans are supposed to be pale.

I just like the sun. That is why I live in AZ. I am already naturally tan, but it feels great to sit in the sun and feel the warmth going through your body. I love it. Try going from an air conditioned room into the hot over 100 degree weather. It feels like you are defrosting and gives you energy. IT JUST FEELS GOOD.

I think it's greaty that you are careful with your skin! you will have less a chance of getting skin cancer and your skin will not have that aged looked of old leather when you get older.
Tell the people who are nagging you to mind their own business!!

i know exactly what you mean. my skin is pretty much porcelain too, and i never had a huge problem with it. just it's annoying how people will be like, "you're so whiteee.."
so, i never got what was up with being tan, either.

I like being pale. Tans are gross to me so I understand how crappy it is to hear, GET SOME SUN. It's like no I'll burst into flames and burn.

I think some ppl are addicted to tanning.
They don't know that after so much tanning they look like hot dogs.
