Of course she will tan by daily exposure, although it may not happen very fast. Another thing she is getting is exposure to harmful UVA & UVB rays increasing her chance for future skin cancer. To truly help a pale girl out, tell her to fake bake with a spray tanner. No damaging rays and sweet summer tan without the increased cancer risk.

It'll be pretty darn hard. If she is pale, and trys to expose to the sun alot she'll become red not tanned. Ya, its better to wear bikini as if you're going to the beach and apply sun tan lotion, but uhh I don't think anybody dresses up like that for school. Also if she wants a tan just by walking home everyday, it'll take a long time.

Yea you can get a tan that way, but it takes a really long time and it won't be an even tan. The gradual self-tanning creams (like Dove) work really well (I'm pale too, so this is said from experience) and not only is it a lot less risky in the orange-skin look department, but it doesn't come with skin damage.

Why not try the self tanners. Not the harsh ones that make you look orange, but the moisturizers with the tanners that build up over a couple of days? They work really well and are pretty much fool proof. Being extremely pale myself I only burn and not tan. This is a good solution.

yea. . . . you can get a tan just by walking home from school . . but it also depends on how long the walk is the longer the walk the more tan you will become. . . but she will probably get a farmers tan if she walks like that every day in a t-shirt.

Yes any time out in the sun you can get a tan...
The best way is still swimming though.. find a pool and get that bikini on... but us sun block... to do it carefully!

Yes you can. Wear appropriate clothes and I suggest use only coconut oil on the skin.
