I don't tan. I burn violently. I like lathered myself with sunscreen and i still get scorched in the sun. so tanning is a bit tough for me, especially with my pale ass head lol

Keep those vitamin A, E and D vitamin levels up, if you have to supplement with it do it.Aloe helps out alot and the other thing that works great for me is an antioxidant called astaxanthin which is algae that has be ultra exposed and cultivated in sunlight ( I know the production facility is in hawaii ) basically the algae is green and over exposure is turned dark red, which brings out all the antioxidants, free radical eliminators and it's very chemoprotective......I don't get any sunburn period with it.

Get it at any health food store, or you can get it online. Just use the search, Astaxanthin is starting to researched heavily for it's numerous abilites, theres a new study that it's a DHT blocker as well as aiding in prostate support. Read up about it. It's very popular in Hawaii.

Pub Med is always a good read.

I struggle too but if you get out with some sun screen one day a week for up to an hour you'll get the color you want!  ;)

I always burn so your better off than me.  O0
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the Past better than it was,
the Present worse than it is & the future less resolved than it will be.

Hi Fencer,

I am having the same problem.  I think I will just keep trying and use spf 35 on my face to help to reduce the redness and hopefully the dome with catch up.  I am also sly for life, you do rock the sly look as the other guys have said.   :)

I've only been at this for 31 days. I'm using the Jergens moisturizer to match color for now.
