Why does it take so long for me to tan? I wear spf but it takes at least 8 hours overall before I get a colour?

Stop wearing SPF and it'll happen in a few minutes per day

I don't want skin cancer

[In_Trance]

All the more reason you shouldn't wear it then

[Asker]

What?

Just don't overdo it too much at first. Sunscreen actually gives you cancer and is far more harmful than the sun. I'm Swedish and naturally pure platinum blonde with the lightest brightest bluest eyes arbd I use to burn very easily. Now I can be outside all day even in the summer on a warm sunny day and not burn, and have never had cancer. Unless your albino or redhead you'll eventually get to where you can tan quite well and pretty much never burn.

Me too because I’m so white I just burn and if I put on a lot of suntan lotion then it doesn’t really do anything

Eventually I go brown but It takes me ages

Yeah same, we just don’t have that much melanin in our skin

[Asker]

Is it also the spf

[Opinion Owner]

I use 50 or 70 sometimes

I don't have and never had worn sunscreen. Sunscreen is actually what gives most people cancer not the sun. Not to mention sunscreen prevents you from getting tan. I have naturally pure platinum blonde hair and the lightest brightest bluest eyes. My skin used to be very pale and gad a hard time tanning when I was growing up. Eventually I got to where I hit really tan and easily in the summer then would go back to being very milk white in the winter. Now I've gotten so tan from being outside so much and with no sunscreen my skin stays very golden tan even through winter. My tan is completely natural and so is everything else I have.
