I tan very easily too, actually I'm always tan year-round, because that's the skin I was born with, but in the summer, or when I go out in the sun for about half an hour, it gets darker. Why is it annoying? It shouldn't really be a problem. You should just love yourself the way you are, it doesn't matter what color your skin, hair, or eyes are. It just means you have lots of melanin in your cells, that's what causes pigmentation. Some people would love to go out in the sun and not get sunburned, so just be glad that you've got melanin.

I'm Asian too. Getting tan is part of being active. No worries.. I love getting different shades of color on my skin. It's like becoming a different person hehe... But what I don't like is the sunburn, Ouch! takes days for the skin to peel and I have to use lots of moisturizer.
Now that I'm working in an office from 9 to 5, I sheldom get a chance to play under the sun and my skin is pale and patchy... yukkss.. I need a vacation hehe.

It happens because of the pigment in your skin. I wouldn't complain about it though. people pay lots of money to get a tan like your describing . Iknow I would be very happy with just enough tan so I wouldn't look sickly all the time.
Just enjoy your tan complextion and don't try to change it.

Melanin is what determines skin color...you have quite a bit--I have almost none:(
I just burn--be happy that you're not fair like me.

try not to stay in the sun so long and look in a beauty store and they might have something for your skin.
