The sun is shinning hard, do you turn red or do you tan?

[MementoMori777]

i think i asked this before but i wasn't sure so im asking it, i can turn very dark like dark tan dark where i look light skin but id need more sunlight than what im patient for so ehh but can y'all tan or do y'all burn? 😂

tan 😎

burn 🔥

[nolabels]

I'm a light-skinned Western European mutt.

I may burn a bit at the beginning of the season until my tan gets built up, or if I subject myself to too much sun at once, but I usually build up a pretty awesome tan in a fairly short period of time.

[MementoMori777]

yea usually people that aren't pale end up tanning and pale people burn, just testing the theory lol

[nolabels]

I'm pale in the winter, and I have to be a bit careful being in the sun until my tan develops in the spring.
After my tan is established, I just get darker, unless I spend a whole day out on the water in my boat.
Some of that type of burn is windburn, though.

[DancingQueen16]

If I'm not out in the sun for a long time I tan but if I'm outside in the sun for a long time I get a sunburn like one time a few years ago I spent the day at an amusement park with some friends and I got really sunburned and the sunscreen didn't help and after seeing a doctor I found out I'm actually allergic to the chemicals in sunscreen

[MementoMori777]

oof, what exactly happened with your allergy tho? 🤔

[nolookingbackx]

My tan has always been brown even though my skin is naturally very fair. But I've been avoiding sun for a couple years and now my skin has become more sensitive. As a kid I used to be quite dark but I spent a lot of time on fresh air. Now my skin look kind of Asian.

[MementoMori777]

well Asian can go from olive to extremely pale but since youve mentioned you can tan im going to assume you mean like olive skin right

[Lliam]

I have Irish heritage with some northwestern European. I have white skin but I always tanned easily. There have been times in my life when I was as brown as a berry. Once tan, I can stay out in the sun all day, like when I was a surfer.

[MementoMori777]

i heard irish and i was like he turns red and then you beanboozled my ass when you said you tan, mindblown lol

[Lliam]

Yeah. Now my sister burns. I got lucky.

[MementoMori777]

fair enough lol

[hahahmm]

Reminds me of a Blade movie when Blade says to some a-hole vampire, "Did I blush?"

[MementoMori777]

lmao

[menina]

Unfortunately I turn red. I honestly don't know how this happens since I'm black. I always thought that only white people or other light skinned people turned red. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

[MementoMori777]

wait what foreal? woah thats my first time hearing that 😂

[menina]

For real. Yeah, I know it's odd. I don't understand how this happens. 🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[MementoMori777]

can you even see the red? 🤔

[menina]

Yes, if I'm telling you it's because I can see it.

[MementoMori777]

how does that work tho 😣

[menina]

I can see it when I look at myself at the mirror.

[MementoMori777]

so you are like a red velvet type of look just darker or like chocolate strawberry type of thing?

[menina]

Isn't red velvet white?

[MementoMori777]

no they add cream to it but red velvet is the dark red cake

[menina]

Humm ok

I can't compare myself to food. But to give you an answer it's more like chocolate strawberry.

[MementoMori777]

that noticable? thats crazy red, wild, i appreciate your opinion Menina 🙂💯

[menina]

No, it's not that noticeable. But it's the closest from it from the two options.
No problem. :)

[MementoMori777]

well your dark red skin is fascinating tho, you are like wine ha

[menina]

Hahaha
Maybe I am.

[MementoMori777]

🤣👌

[menina]

🤣🤣🤣

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I burn first, burn pretty badly and then it changes into tan.

[MementoMori777]

i honestly didn't expect your skin to make sense

[AviatorTom]

I wear 30 or 50 spf sunscreen so I don't burn. My skin darkens just a bit over time. If I didn't wear sunscreen, I would burn... pretty bad... but that would be stupid.

[MementoMori777]

so your sunblock helps you tan? 🤔

[AviatorTom]

@mementomori777 Sort of. I never tan but my skin does get slightly darker, which I notice because the skin under my watch is whiter.

[MementoMori777]

indeed tan lines, those things are annoying no lie

[ShesRad80]

im Sicilian i tan

[MementoMori777]

foreal? mindblown 😦

[ShesRad80]

yes, im also part Asian but the Italian is strong within this one lol 👍

[MementoMori777]

do you know any italian or its just in your blood? 🤔🤣

[ShesRad80]

i can speak some

[MementoMori777]

nice grazie for you comment 🙃

[ShesRad80]

benvenuto amico mio 👍

[MementoMori777]

my soul is at peace now 🙂

[ShesRad80]

👍👍💕

[_SillyShoes_]

Burn. Every time - this is why I gave that up at 19 - no more 'tanning attempts' for me.

SPF all the way.

[MementoMori777]

i couldve guess that tbh, you are very pale, you dont seem like the tanning types 🤣

[_SillyShoes_]

Yup, definitely not one of those :D

[MementoMori777]

you must be kept away from direct sunlight at all times lol

[_SillyShoes_]

Haha Something like that.

[Drewtate]

I get blacker. My Nigerian buddy is so black he turns blue in the sun

[MementoMori777]

wtf blue? yo thats wild 😂😂

[Drewtate]

I'm brown but swear that you can't see him in the dark

[MementoMori777]

unless he smiles i assume lol

[comekitty]

My skin tans. I have a fair skin color but it doesn't usually burn. 🌞🙂

[MementoMori777]

that is a good thing kitty 😆👌

[comekitty]

@mementomori777 lol... another nickname for my list and this one is non-food related 🤣

[MementoMori777]

i thought this one was already on your list tho cause you called yourself comekitty 😆

[comekitty]

😆🤣

[Nikki1989]

I burn, turn red and shortly return to white again. I can't tan at all.

[MementoMori777]

you seem to pale to tan so i guess pale people can't tan

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I seem to turn tan so far. Surprised I haven't burned yet.

[MementoMori777]

are you like olive skin normally or pale, cause i think it depends on that lol

[PBandJ_Nerd]

One of my sisters said I have an olive skin. I always thought I was just pale, like Snow White is.

[MementoMori777]

good job confusing me, now it can be either one 😂

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It's a success. lol

[MementoMori777]

how dare you 😂

[XXblack88]

I dark in the sun. I have got sunburn but it's physically not noticeable with my port wine birthmark and my olive toned skin

[XXblack88]

get dark*

[MementoMori777]

you just feel it then?

[XXblack88]

Yeah

[sheenagwapa]

i tan... then get sunburned which feels so sore taking a shower is a pain 😭

[MementoMori777]

have you tried lukewarm water Sheena? 😆

[sheenagwapa]

ah so lukewarm will make it less painful?

[MementoMori777]

well of course, why would you torture yourself with hot water after burns but why not use some sunblock?

[slatyb]

I wear SPF 7000 sunscreen whenever I think of it, and keep my shirt on.

[MementoMori777]

what does SPF stand for? 😂

[slatyb]

I think it's "Solar Protection Factor" but I could be wrong about the S. The maximum is maybe 50 or 60. The idea is that if you are adequately covered, it increases the time to burn by that factor. So if you would normally burn in 15 minutes, but wear 60 SPF sunscreen, it would take 15 hours before you burn. Of course if you swim, then you will need to reapply it each time you get out of the water.

[MementoMori777]

they should make water proof versions of that stuff tbh

[Anonymous]

i was just on holiday so i can answer this perfectly lol, i'm brown anyways and i can tan nicely but in too much sun i burn/my skin gets irritated

[MementoMori777]

so you are normally brown and get browner? 🤔

[JoyGirl]

I get darker.

Lighter in the winter, and darker in the summer.

[MementoMori777]

how is that possible 😂

[JoyGirl]

I don't know, it just happens. 😂

[MementoMori777]

i thought you were at the darkest you can tan 😂

[JoyGirl]

Do I smell racism? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[MementoMori777]

no just confusion, i didn't think you can get noticably darker lol

[JoyGirl]

lmao 😂

[LiamJHayden]

I am at the tanning point. A month ago I would have looked like a cross between a human and a lobster.

[MementoMori777]

lmao fair enough

[douride2]

Blonde blue eyes & fair skinned. I usually burn if I get to much sun.

[MementoMori777]

can you tan tho? 🤔

[douride2]

Yes I do eventually tan.

[MementoMori777]

wait so you tan or burn first, you are confusing me lol

[douride2]

Your confused easily aren't you?

[MementoMori777]

i take things specifically, you said you burn if you get too much sun, then you said you eventually tan so which one happens first 😂

[douride2]

I get small amounts of time to tan. To much all at once & I burn & peel.

[MementoMori777]

i see, fair enough 😆

[gothbxtch]

i burn very easily and wouldn’t want to tan anyway.

[MementoMori777]

you like being pale i see

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I used exercise outside in the hot sun til one day I noticed my whole neck was burned. Never again doing that. 😂

[MementoMori777]

yea those tan lines can be rough, makes you look like a double flavored popsicle, i see where your regret comes from lol.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

That ish looked horrible.

[MementoMori777]

it really do tho 😂

[Sparkie460]

I'll look like a cooked lobster first then I'll turn tan

[MementoMori777]

gotta trust the process 😂

[stepyo99]

It depends. I'm Western/Northern European and with a little sun I'll tan. Too much sun and I burn.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I can tan, but I must burn first, so I can't take any chances, so I would use tanning lotion and sunscreen

[Boomchakalaca]

Olive skin tans.
I burn a little on my nose

[MementoMori777]

red nose reindeer action, understood

[OddBeMe]

Ironically I tan, but I’ve been through a bout of serious depression and rarely leave the house. Luckily I work there. I’m white af. Need to go to the equator and defrost.

[LostandFound__x]

I don’t turn red ever lol

[MementoMori777]

i know, i can tell 😂

[LostandFound__x]

Loool

[WhitneySnow]

Depends how long I’m out

[MementoMori777]

so you can tan?

[WhitneySnow]

Yeah but if I stay out too long I burn

[MementoMori777]

i think thats normal

[WhitneySnow]

Thanks

[chicken_nugget24]

Burn. My pale ass skin burns. I l

[chicken_nugget24]

I look like a drum stick lolly 😂

[MementoMori777]

well thats not good, you can't be a burnt chicken nugget, that sucks 😦🍗

[chicken_nugget24]

😂😂😂😂😂

[Hithere4567]

I burn all over.

[MementoMori777]

turn red type shit?

[eidkejeodnx]

I get red and my skin starts peeling off

[MementoMori777]

yep I've heard of this, you must be like very pale, I've only heard of this among the palest skin types

[HaveNoName]

I go from brown to dark brown. 🤣

[MementoMori777]

damn thats some grade A tanning lol

[HaveNoName]

🤣🤣 and in most cases, it is 50% irreversible.

[MementoMori777]

wdym lol

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Strangely enough neither.

[MementoMori777]

what? how? 🙃😂

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

I don't know, if I'm out in the sun I won't tan but people with brown skin will start getting sunburnt before I do.

[MementoMori777]

your skin is like heat resistant or something

[Anonymous]

Engineers and vampires hate the sun.
