ozgeek Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Why don't you try it? :s For me, I had sunburn like a thousand times but my skin did not tan, simply becuse I am fairly-skinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomn Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Depending on your skin, yes. However it wont last as long as a normal tan and will peel off pretty soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 If it's a sunburn wouldn't the skin come off? Hence, no tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessimat0r Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I can assure you that you skin will get a lot of UV damage, When you are older, the sunburnt areas really will look a different colour to your unburned skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.will Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I can assure you that you skin will get a lot of UV damage, When you are older, the sunburnt areas really will look a different colour to your unburned skin. yeah i saw this program, body hits on techtv. they had one on uv light. these two girls went 'tanning' every day. later they looked at them under a special uv light, and it turns out that when they are older, their skin will look about 10 years older than their actual age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanackle Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I am in the medical field and can give you my professional opinion. UV from the sun causes damage to your skin, thus you get a sunburn. Your skin reacts to UV damage by trying to protect itself. Melanocytes in your skin produce a pigment which colors your skin in an effort to block or reflect some of the damaging UV. What I want you to understand is that NO, sunburns do not cause a tan... but the same UV that causes sunburns will also cause a tan. You need to be very careful as skin cancer is so common and so easy to get. It could take years in the sun, but it could also only take days. IMO it is not worth the risk. Use your head.

SabaTime Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 with my skin, if I get a little sunburn I get a nice tan. So I guess it depends on your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted May 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 30, 2004 I usually seem to tan after getting burned.. but getting sunburned is not a very good way of getting a tan.. There are all sorts of long term implications of damaging your skin in this way.. best building your tan up slowly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Depends on your skin type and previous exposure to the sun among other things... also the severity of the "burn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goheels681 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 What does it mean if you have small (1/2 cm, max) spots where you're tanned that are really pale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstroud Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Some people don't have pigment in parts of their skin, thus the white spots. I knew a girl in grade school and high shcool that had that problem, although it was much more pronounced. I'm naturally dark skinned (although, I can't figure out why) and I can tan just by being outside all day. I don't go to a tanning bed, but when I do go outside, it's just natural.

kennyout Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I have to "sunburn" in order to tan....and it takes multiple times...and i have to be in the sun for 2-3 hours at a time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xplatinum Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yes, sunburn turn into a tan but you lose it very very fast because your skin peels off. Make sure you put cream ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
