I'm going to Arizona in a few months for about 3 weeks, and I always get a tan whenever I go there. (I am naturally very light skinned, I tan easily, and personally I hate tans.) Does anyone have any tips for preventing tans and for quickly getting rid of them?
Thanks in advance.

I think all of the advice given before me is excellent. (I am very pale naturally as well and feel the same way about tans as you do)
When I travel in the middle east I wear breathable cotton, long sleeves and a skirt. you could try that!
and like before: sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen, and hat and sunglasses, and staying in the shade, covering up.
Good luck! enjoy the warm weather!

The only thing you can do is to wear a high SPF sunscreen. Forget pants and long sleeved shirts during that time of the year! If you can stand it, wear capri pants and t-shirts rather than tank tops and make sure you cover any exposed skin with the water proof/ sweat proof SPF 45 sunscreen you can find at any drug store. I prefer the banana boat brand.
Unfortunately, there's not much else you can do.
I have a similar problem but don't mind being a little tanned- I just hate sun damage!!!

use a really high SPF sunblock. also try to stay in the shade when possible, if there is any, and wear a hat to protect part of your face from the sun. the time of day when the sun is the most powerful is usually from 11:30-3pm. go out before or after that time and the sun will be alot less powerful and you will be less likely to get sunburn. good luck!

Wear a high protection sunscreen and stay out of the sun.

Buy the highest SPF you can find & re-apply about every 3 hours. More if you are in the water or sweating a bunch. Good luck & have fun!!

wear a high spf sunscreen and apply often. it should still be cool enough for you to wear lightweight long sleeve shirts as well. wide brimmed hats and sunglasses are also good.
