I've been meaning to ask this for a while. I have really pale skin and no tan at all naturally. I try to have regular spray tans as I always have this assumption that cam girls with a tan earn so much more money.
Do you find it makes a difference?

i dunno i think tans do make a difference but i dunno how big of one. camming is really about confidence more than anything, if you feel that u look better with a spray tan than go for it, but make sure to stay out of tanning beds and really tanning yourself, its extremely bad for you. just watch the movie "the counselor " almost every actor in the movie has god-awful skin damage. its not real but that is not sexy lol
Oh yeah I have always stayed well clear of them. Even though I smoke and can sound hypocritical. I am a trained spray tan therapist so I have my own tanning set up here at home. Sometimes I can't be bothered to have one and seem to have it fixed in my head that I won't earn money on those nights that I'm super pale.
Idk about you but my custies like my "milky ass". so may not be crucial. I've seen lots of top whoot-ies
I'm very pale too and I don't try to tan myself...it's part of my appeal for some guys.
I've had a ton of guys mention liking my white (pale) skin. I've actually avoided tanning to keep my paleness because guys like it so much.
I used to spray tan when I started camming. I since stopped and I really don't see any difference in earnings and never really had any guys mention it. About the guys that like tans... maybe it's more the tan lines that they like?
Edit: Now that I think about it, I think tanned when I started camming because it boosted my confidence. I personally felt like I looked better tan. I feel like I have that confidence now and I don't give a shit if someone doesn't like my pale skin. Just my personal experience I guess.
I am very, very pale and noticed a pretty significant bump to my income when I began using a self-tanner. My income drops a bit every time I take a break from using it.
I make more money when I'm tan. I'm naturally pale with black hair and brown eyes so I look like I'm ill when I'm not tan.
I make great money being pale, no one has complained about it and I'm not going to risk skin cancer (because a lot of people in my immediate family have had it) just to try to make a few more bucks.
Maybe it would matter more depending on what the rest of your look is? Being red head and freckled I'm kind of expected to have pale skin anyway. If anything, try a good sunless tanner.
^ Spray tanning doesn't cause skin cancer ... I think everyone looks better with a tan but that's just my opinion.
I personally make more money with a tan, but its different for everyone. Sammi is also right, a spray tan doesnt cause cancer. It's like make-up for your skin.
LOL I thought it was kinda obvious that the skin cancer comment was like, going to a tanning bed or sitting in the sun. It also doesn't cause premature aging and all that, too.
There was a time when pale skin was seen as wealth and beauty. I think people look good both ways, just depends on your natural skin tone and hair, etc. And most obvious of all, if it makes you feel better and more confident, do it!
As an after thought.... the safety of spray tans has been called into question recently, with several studies suggesting they could potentially lead to cancer and other harmful side effects from inhaling all those toxic chemicals. So does it cause cancer as well? Who knows. Maybe.
I am pale as fuck and my guys love it. I've never found a fake tanner that looked right on me, and it's such a hassle to keep up with.
I used to be so ashamed of how pale I was when I was younger. People made fun of me all the time. I was really worried that it would affect my earnings when I first started camming. I used fake tanner for the first few weeks, but then I started getting tons of compliments on my pale skin (because I was STILL pale even with a spray tan lol). So I decided to forget about trying to change my skin color and went all natural. I'm really glad I was able to embrace my natural ghost-like complexion, because a ton of customers love it!
Honestly though, if you feel happier with a tan then go for it. In my experience, it's always best to do whatever makes you feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable. When you feel happy, you'll make more $$$.
Its my look. Dark hair, big lips, pale skin.
I go for the glamour/playboygirl look so I use fake tan. It does take up time though since I have to do it eveyr FRGGING day, my skin has very little pigment, and when you sit in front of hot lamps for houres you sweat it right of again (the tan stes in into dead skincells I was told, so when you scrub or sweat it goes off quicker)
It makes me feel way more confident and therefor helps my earning, also it fits my looks and therefor helps my earning. I am white blond so if I would have my own skincolour I would be a white blob in front of the cam. Personally I love a natural tan with blondes and a pale skin with darker haired/ginger woman.
Tan also hides bruises, veins, red spots... just a lot
It makes you look more slim too and defines your muscles if you work out. Its awesome
I would highly recommend Saint Tropez dark range mousse (its easier to apply than the normal mousse since it leaves more of an colour when you apply it so you know which places you allready did, also it gives you more of an tan and you will have to use less of the product)... Although it is expensive. It is very natural looking and is fades evenly, also its very easy to use (using a mitt). It stays on longer than other brands I used, and people never assume I fake tan, I get compliments about my tan a lot in daily life. If you like tanlines put n an old bikini when you faketan, the guys loves tanlines btw! Makes it look even more natural.
My guys like me pale. When I get tan they get mad. I think it all depends on your customer base tbh.
Sorry I'm very defensive when the tanning subject comes up LOL. I have an olive skin tone but I'm pale with dark hair and eyes so I look strange without a tan. The tanning lady I go to uses organic ingredients in her self tanner, so it's very natural. There are a lot of self tanners with questionable chemicals, so people should definitely do their research.
And yes I agree, go with whatever makes you feel more confident.
I dont think it makes a difference... I say dont go out of your way just to tan unless it's something that YOU enjoy.. Honestly I would just play up the porcelain skin look... honestly my camgirl crushes are always on girls with fair skin tone... being tan is not the be all of camming, everybody has different tastes when it comes to beauty.
Thanks Sarah! :)
I also have dark hair which makes me look more pale. I do love having tans. Just hassle doing it. I would love to pull off the pin up girl kinda look but my customers just don't seem to like red lipstick on me for some weird reason.
I don't use shop bought tans because it would cost a bomb, so I buy the big bottles of tanning liquid and spray it.
Regarding the effects of spray tans, they are 100% safe and would never cause skin cancer, it's impossible. Not sure how it is on your respiratory system though (if you was to spray tan daily, which you wouldn't unless you wanted to be an orange lol)
Actually I also find when having a spray tan I use allot less make up and takes me allot quicker to get ready to cam.
If you talk about fake. Spray tan-NO. But natural one looks fine. Its allabout you… some girls dont look nice with tan.
I am very pale and haven't had any complaints on cam. When I was a dancer I was told by certain club managers I needed to tan. I tried a spray tan once, it looked good at first but I'm not sure if I just got a bad session or what but it rubbed off on my clothes and got on customers clothes too, eep, not good. After a couple of days it looked horrible and splotchy even after I exfoliated. I just don't have the extra money laying around to spend $25-$40 2-3 times a week on a spray tan when I doubt it would even bring me in that much extra income. I'm waaaay too claustrophobic to lay in a tanning bed also, every time I have tried I just can't do it so I'll stay pale like I am and I'm fine with it :)
