    Default Am I too skinny for a tan?

    Okay, so I know tanning is a subject that's been covered over and over, but this is with a slightly different twist. I'm really thin - 5' 6", 115 lbs, flat chest, chicken legs, can't gain weight to save my life - so I DON'T want the effect of looking THINNER that a tan might give. I'm a big advocate of avoiding the sun because of the whole pre-mature aging/skin cancer bit, so I've been fairly pale the whole time I've been dancing. BUT, I did spend a long day at the pool a couple months ago, and my subsequent tan did seem to look nice in the club, so I'm wondering if this is something I should consider keeping up. I do think a dancer with a bit of a tan looks more put together, classier maybe.

    I would never lay in a tanning bed, I've seen WAY too many girls turn their skin to leather over-doing it. But I'm thinking a Mystic Tan might be nice, or an airbrush tan (especially if they can go easy on my boobs and ass to make them look bigger). Do you think a tan would make me look like a stick? I always thought my paleness might make me look a little heavier under the lights, but I don't know. Any skinny girls out there have any input? Maybe I might even look smoother - i.e. less boney?

    Also, I've been keeping my hair kind of auburn, so a tan might look unnatural with it. But that could easily be changed (semi-permanent dyes don't last). Plus, my skin's got an olive cast to it, even though it's pale, so I'd want to go as far from orange as I could get to make it look natural. I'd need green, practically. Is there a wide range of colors at a Mystic Tan place?

    SKINNY GIRLS MUST TAN! It's the law. Otherwise we look emaciated and ghostly.

    Seriously, a tan won't make you look skinnier if you're already slim- if anything, it will make you look like an athletic type rather than just a frail type (which is what skinny + pale looks like). When you're thin and pale, the shadows or your ribs and hipbones show- those are blended out with a tan, giving the impression of muscle rather than bone.

    Get thee to a mystic tan booth!

    I agree w/ scarlet This anorexic girl at my club is refered to as athletic, and I think it's becuase in the stage lighting it looks like she's lean and muscular with the tan. Backstage, you can see how emeciated she really is. Customers always tell her she's lost too much weight when she misses her tanning appointments.
    ...and the day came, when the risk it took to remain closed in a bud became worse than the risk it took to blossom.

    Frig, I didn't know the colour of your skin made such a difference to the overall shape/look of your body. I wouldn't mind looking athletic. I personally don't think it has to do anything with skin colour though. Your body looks a certain way no matter what colour your skin is. However I can see how an overly skinny girk could appear more unheathly when pale.

    just don't give yourself a tan like Paris Hilton or you'll looked like a deep fried chicken.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Hey, I'm a redhed right now too!

    I also thought a tan would look bad with red hair, but I started working on it anyway since I'm planning to go brown for summer. It actually looks really good with red hair. Gives a kind of creamy even look. I too have an olive cast so I know what you mean.

    I know you said you want to stay away from tanning booths, but this is how I did it. I'm taking it slow, nearly three weeks and only up to six minutes, hey its working. I don't plan on going past ten, and will only be going for about a month or two, untill the sun is out enough to tan naturally. I bought Austrailian Gold anti aging tanning lotion. It seems good enough, but I don't have a lot to compare it to. By the way, I look much healthier. Mystic tan is good to, but I had an expeirence with that and clorine, so I decided to get a base tan this year.
