Cindy: Since I also have very fair skin, I am qualified to promise you that you do NOT want to be one of those women who tanned her skin into leather when she was young. Embrace your paleness. In my 50s, I still have very good skin. You can spot the women who were into tanning when they were young. It's obvious. It isn't a good look on anyone. You can't get away with it now and hope for the best in 10 years. Please just don't. Tell yourself that by resisting tanning now, you will still have your beautiful fair face 20 years from now. Believe me that you won't be sorry.
