I am very pale naturally and it borders on anemic looking SO, yes, I tan when I can in the sun with LOTS of moisturizers. I do go to tanning bed on occassion and sometimes will also use a self tanning lotion. The new ones by Jergens are very subtle. I use that about twice a week right now til I can get out in the sun for real. I don't use any SPF, I believe it causes cancer. Believe what you like but that's how I feel. The sun gives us life, not death.
