If I burn, Is it possible for me to get a tan?

I have red hair and fairly pail skin. Today i was outside for a while and i got a sun burn on the back of my neck, arms, and a little on my face which needless to say made me feel dumb and annoyed at the same time. So I was wondering, is there some method that when applied would make me tan instead of burn. I also dont think that if i got really sunburned it would tan.... i think i would just continue to burn and my skin would start peeling off. I don%26#039;t really know the science behind tanning so im not really sure... reguardless I was just wondering if its possible for me to tan (I also dont want to do anything unsafe that might result in skin cancer or malenoma)... Thanks

A tan is just skin damage, so if you burn you will always burn before you tan. You may be able to develop a tan gradually by allowing a little sun exposure at a time for a while. However, for health%26#039;s sake, you may as well just embrace the pale. Or use a little sunless tanner, if you must. I had a ginger friend who tanned. But it seemed like a lot of risk for a little, temporary result. And it resulted in a lot of permanent freckles. Besides obvious reasons like the high risk of skin cancer, you will age much better if you don%26#039;t tan. You can avoid a lot of wrinkles and brown spots.

MOST FAIR SKIN JUST BURNS..AND CAN CAUSE SKIN DAMAGE...IF YOUR FAIR...use a spray tanner to look like you glow and have a tan...STOP LAYING IN THE SUN...in 7 to 10 years you will look TWICE YOUR AGE AND YOUR SKIN WILL BE ALL WRINKLY AND DRIED UP Report It

Reply:well... you can apply suntan lotion that will keep you from burning and will still help you tan!
Reply:i don%26#039;t know, i have 2 friends with the same complektion as you and they could never tan.





they tried everything, one of them even works in construction, outside all the time and his face is still white as heck.
Reply:Practice safe sun, and sadly you will never tan, so stay out of the sun.
Reply:I have fair skin 2 but when i burn i peel first then tan. The thing you should do to help u tan is to use one of those self tanners i guess
Reply:yes,sometimes sunburns will even turn into tans
