  neither, i'm very fair skinned and i like being as white as a ghost. its healthier to not go tanning and not to get sun damaged that causes cancer and wrinkles. but i have no idea why people still go tanning knowing the information that is available now.

  I'm fair skinned and I avoid the sun like the plague. You also wouldn't catch me anywhere near a tanning booth. I like being pale. I tan some in the summer months due to sun I can't avoid but the rest of the year it's fine. I do know why a lot of dark skinned people want to be fair and light skinned people want to be tanned. It's because they are the way they are and they want a change. There is only one way to change and that's to get either lighter or darker.

  I'm more of an olive skin tone, and my daughter is very light. I already see her wanting to be dark...I think fair skin is beautiful...guess we always want what we can't have.

  Another pale skined girl that loves being pale. Until the 1920s, pale WAS in. I see it as retro-chic. That and the sun hates me.

  let's get it this way..nobody is perfect in this world and though we sometimes say that we love our body for whatever it is,there must have been a part or two on our body that we less like and somehow we wish it would be better like for an example,fair skin to tanned skin or tanned skin to fair skin.im not saying that it's not good enough to love just everything about ourselves cause just face it;deep inside our hearts somehow we happen to wish for the desired skin colour though we already said we don't(well,for some of us).maybe this is one of the way for some women to boost their confidence so that they feel good about themselves.there's nothing wrong about that.so why not?

  Maybe because people have no contentment in what they have and what they were. This could also be the probable reason why women nowadays are plastic surgeon addict... It's hard to admit but reality bites..

  I am dark skinned and I'm often complimented on my complexion. I love the rich dark tone of my skin and I'm very proud to be one that the sun has loved!

  I have a medium skin tone. The only time I use a bleaching cream is on my elbows and knees from years of sports. Other than that, I'm cool with my coloring. What I hate is when someone asks me if I can tan.
