What colour do you tan?

[Grumpy Cat]

Just curious where Apricians are.

This pic came from a cosmetics site, but:

http://www.outlineskincare.co.uk/images/colour%20chart.jpg

I'm naturally M6 (Medium - slightly pink base)

But when I tan I will become M8 (Golden Beige) or M9 (Golden Bronze).

There is actually such a difference in my skin tone that I have different makeup for summer and winter.

[Bloodeagle]

M1 is my natural color and possibly M3 after a few burns. :)
I also get tiny freckles that could be M11.

[Stefan]

M2-M3 natural skin color, and I can tan to M7.

[Beorn]

M8. M9 if I was to really go for it.

[Aemma]

I can't really determine what my skin colour is according to that chart. I'm very fair but not milky white. When I do tan (now being older as opposed to turning a delicious shade of cooked lobster when I was younger) my skin turns to a golden colour, but still white. Yep, golden white. :rolleyes: People don't believe me when I tell them: "But this IS a tan!" :rolleyes2:

[hajduk]

M2-M3 natural skin color, and I can tan to M7.

me too

[Lithium]

My skin colour is Very Fair and when I have tan it is Medium - slightly pink base .

[Monolith]

Chestnut to espresso.

[Tabiti]

I'm kind of yellowish, so my tan is just "darker yellowish".

[d3cimat3d]

m1 natural skin color, m5 right now, in a month i will be m8 because i go to beaches a lot

[Oinakos Growion]

I guess I'm M2-M3 after a winter with no sun. I get tanned quite easily when summer comes though, getting to M8-M9 after a couple of months.
I rarely go through the "red-prawn" phase fortunately :p :D

[Psychonaut]

But when I tan I will become M8 (Golden Beige) or M9 (Golden Bronze).

There is actually such a difference in my skin tone that I have different makeup for summer and winter.

I'm similar. It's that classic Atlanto-Nordid complexion. My thighs, for example, are so blindingly white that the big blue veins just jump right out at you. Yet, my forearms and face are a rich golden bronze right now during the Summer. Variable is the name of the game! :cool:

[Daos]

Normally, I'm about an M2 and I can tan to about M7-M8 from the sun exposure I get by working in the vineyard and walking around in the sun. I have no intention of finding out how far I could go... At 30°C it's dreadful to sit inside, let alone in the sun.

[Vulpix]

M0 (transparent white) to a maximum potential of M13.

[antonio]

At winter I'm plain white without pinkish or reddish on absence of freezing (I suppose this corresponds to M3), at summer never reach above a golden tone (M8?)...but probably I could get higher, never was so irresponsable to turn myself to black. :D

[Loki]

being a nigga jew i probably get to M22 easily

[Inese]

M2 is my normal skin color and it goes to M5 if i tan. But i dont do sunbathing and tanning ---- pale is better :)

[antonio]

pale is better :)

I equally like my tanned version too (my features are AtlantoMediterranean enough to avoid race confusions :cool:). But, being Sun the main aging agent, Im not much fond of it.:coffee:

[Brynhild]

I don't need to sunbathe to go dark. In saying that, though, it's only my top half that sees more of the sun. I would go to about M8 but if I was outdoors all the time I could nudge it to M9. My legs are as white as a sheet though.

[Aramis]

My face, arms and legs go M9 every summer.

[Allenson]

Kind of a ruddy, coppery colour.

[San Galgano]

My ass is M2, but the exposed parts when tanned are M8/M9.
It depends from the sun. I spent two weeks at Seychelles and i became M9 by default.

[Jack B]

I never actively try to get a tan but when you get a rare good summer here or I go somewhere with a decent climate then I can get about m7 pretty easily, If I were to lay out and try to get a tan or spend some time on a nice beach for a few days then probably m8, not much higher though.

[nisse]

I'm normally lighter than M1 (more white, less pink), when I try to tan (which I don't do often) I burn, but my farmer/cyclist tan is Golden bronze :thumbs up.

[d3cimat3d]

I inherited the lightest skin color you can get. My face is very freckled & my skin is transparent where you can see my veins.

This is my arm right now, and I've been tanning 30-45 minutes a day for the last few months with little results, all that happens is I get sun burnt really bad.

[Absinthe]

This is my tan :)

[poiuytrewq0987]

M8. M9 if I was to really go for it.

The same with me. Except the only part of my body that have ever been tanned is my arms. Pitiful, I know. My mom always tan to golden bronze during summers but goes back to whitey skin during winters.


My skin colour is Very Fair and when I have tan it is Medium - slightly pink base .

I disagree, you have wax skin and wax skin =/ fair skin.

http://thumbs2.modthesims2.com/img/1/1/8/7/4/3/5/MTS2_vindicatedmess_731483_ZooeyDeschanel.jpg

The upper left and bottom right picture look like they have wax-like skin meanwhile the upper right and bottom left clearly have fair skin.

[Aviane]

My skin tone is a Light Neutral, but I can go to a M5 if tanning for a very long time but it quite tough to do so. Maybe it could be to do with my Breton or Normand heritage (even though I know alot of fellow French who can tan pretty go even when Lighter or Medium featured) but not sure on that one.

[Piparskeggr]

Natural shade, likely M-3...tan anywhere from M-7 - M-10 depending upon exposure, though my nose can get pretty close to M-11.

However, I am more on the Winter Color scale. ;)

My wife is usually a shade or two lighter than me.

[Liffrea]

Face, fore arms, lower legs usually golden bronze, I’m freckled but not fair skinned but I tend to burn on parts of the body I don’t usually expose to the sun.

[esaima]

Hard to say.I am pretty well tanning but I am always kind of yellowish. So my tan is "darker yellowish".

[Moonbird]

I guess M1-M2 is my natural skin color, but I tan quite easily and I can tan up to M8 if I want to. But I don't expose myself to as much sun nowadays in the summers as I did a couple of years ago.

[la bombe]

The only "tan" I can get is a red one. Otherwise I'm pretty much always lighter than that M1.

[kwp_wp]

I love to tan and IMHO I can tan pretty well.
Though it's rather hard for me to place my skin tone into particular colour of provided chart. Golden bronze is the best I can achieve, I suppose :-)

[Falkata]

I can tan pretty good, to M9,5 or something before my skin starts to peel.
In winter I´m like M3 (ass probably between M1 and M2)

[Gatillo]

The problem is that each monitor gives a different color tone, such as my monitor is very dark in tone and all see a color lighter or darker in that photo.

I prefer to put a picture of me tan in summer.

[Eldritch]

I've never seen M12 ("chestnut") on anyone, live or in photographs. It looks part brown, part crimson.

And to answer the original question, my skin is your average Christmas ham pink most year round. :p

[Æscwyn]

I'm a natural M1 and can tan to about M3. It comes out freckly and blotchy at first, but eventually I can get an even tan.

[mvbeleg]

Hard to say.I am pretty well tanning but I am always kind of yellowish. So my tan is "darker yellowish".

Same for me.

The exception is my face which is lighter and sometimes reddish [because of acne vulgaris and topical treatments].

[Ibericus]

In the winter I am M1-M2 very fair, in the summer I can tan to M8-M9

[Äike]

My skin is M1/very fair without the sun, but I can get a bronze tan in the summer.

This summer has been so hot that I have mostly wore T-shirts, thus my forearms are quite dark/bronze.

[Gamera]

Like a light kind of bronze I think, my sister on the other hand, can't get a tan, she gets all red like a lobster.

[Murphy]

I don't.

[Gatillo]

One question, people who are running red with the sun, Tried to take the sun for a full month? Every day and wearing appropriate protective equipment?

[Albion]

I'm usually M2 but I can tan to M4 if I'm in the sun a lot.

[Susi]

Natural skin colour: paper
Tan colour: lobster

[Foxy]

At natural I am an M1. At my best tan I become a M9. I have never gone over. It's pretty impossible for me to become brown.
.

[Don Brick]

Natural skin colour: paper
Tan colour: lobster

Like a true Brit. ;)

[Osweo]

Paki.

[Sahson]

Judging by it, I'm probably an M7 or M8 being natural, in my younger days I was really dark skinned, so I probably can go to M9, but I don't know if i would, because back then I was always in the warm tropical sun.

[Godric]

I'm very fair then :)

[Gaztelu]

http://www.outlineskincare.co.uk/images/colour%20chart.jpg



I am naturally M3 or M4 and I tan to M9.

[Rouxinol]

I am beige and I easily tan M9 - Golden Bronze.

[Oreka Bailoak]

I'm naturally M2 and I tan to M9 in some places (elbows) and M7 in others (under arm). My back always gets burned and goes to about M5. I wonder why I have so many different shades of tanning.

[mymy]

Im M2 naturally, and ten i think from M5 to M7... I can't be M6 because i have yellow undertone and not pinkish.

[Talvi]

Umm... M1 naturally.. and M2 tanned? If lucky :D

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/capnolagina/DSC_1250.jpg?t=1303064806
Im on the right. And Im tanned. :D

naturally fair, but i tan golden bronze :)

i think my skin would be darker if i ate more animal protein, tho!

[Kosovo je Sjrbia]

golden

[Guapo]

Golden, have a nice nordic golden tan from Dominican.

[Efim45]

Why would you tan? I like to keep my white skin as white as possible. I get just a little darker, but certainly not orange or red or mexican brown.

[Kosovo je Sjrbia]

I use a solar gold cream

[Efim45]

Yeah, I know. thought this forum was about people who tan like those on the "Jersey Shore" tv show.

[Jägerstaffel]

Golden, though it takes a long time.

[Guapo]

[Black Sun Dimension]

I get lobster red that develops into a golden tan, and then I peel....yikes!

[Lahtari]

http://www.outlineskincare.co.uk/images/colour%20chart.jpg

I dunno... where's "the roast pig" innit?

[Great Dane]

My natural color is M1, when I tan my face is M6 but my forearms are M6 to M9. Even with a bronz tan I still get a flush of pinkishness.

[SaxonCeorl]

My shade isn't represented; it's something like this: http://www.bubblyfunk.co.uk/images/Cardstock%208x8%20Red.JPG

Then it peels off as if I've some sort of skin disease.

I like to stay out of the sun so I can stay a lovely shade of: https://slacportal.slac.stanford.edu/sites/ard_public/echo/PublishingImages/White_Crystal.jpg

[carpt]

Natural M2
Tan M7
Yellow based

[Arthur Scharrenhans]

Natural, maybe M3? When I tan I usually get to M8/M9.

[Blossom]

Just curious where Apricians are.

But when I tan I will become M8 (Golden Beige) or M9 (Golden Bronze).

There is actually such a difference in my skin tone that I have different makeup for summer and winter.

I'm naturally somehow M3 (but I can be Casper, very very very fair on winter), light neutral with pinkish subtone. About tanning, pff, what a painful thing. Well I can tan as a pinkpig, which is not represented on your list..or sometimes I can turn to that ''Medium-slighty pink base'' from your list. The only time I tanned pretty cool, when I was a kid, and spent all my holiday at beach, mostly in water till my fingers and skin got wrinkled lol. Water usually helps for a nicer tan, ...so I guess that was the secret. By then I was more like red...kinda burnt but I was red hot chilli pepper.

[Himera]

because people who don't tan look ill or ugly bookworms without a social life.

If that wasn't a joke I think that you have missed the site .....:confused:

[Raikaswinþs]

My skin is M3, in my adult live I have never managed to tan more than M6 (face, arms, shoulders and chest mainly) , but as a child I have pictures where I was close to M8.

[Himera]

It is properly to get tann as skin defence pigmentation allow , what means untill you "provoke" melanin and vitamin D to create a "preventive membrane" for sun accomodation ... Everything more than this is " SKIN YELLING" and warning that you torture your skin ....

[Boudica]

M9

[Norbert]

my natural skin color (on my forearms and face) is about M2 - M3. My chest and upper thighs are a lot lighter. I can tan to ~M9.

My hands seem to have the highest concentrations of melanin for some reason. Could repeated exposure to high amounts of sunlight over the years cause this? My hands stay a rather tan color throughout the year, even when other parts of my body loose their tan.

[Odoacer]

My natural color is M1. I can tan to M2 or M3, but except for my forearms & legs, usually I burn to M6. :p

[ramone]

My exposed areas in the winter time are usually m6/m7, my face a little lighter. If I go abroad for 2 weeks to somewhere like spain or greece I will easily go to m10.

However, if I dont go abroad then the british summer wont really do much to my skin as its not strong enough, considering that I am fairly tanned already. I am lucky to go to m8 even if I spend considerable time out in the british sun.

[Hess]

I don't tan, I burn and get boils all over my body :thumb001:

[gold_fenix]

I don't tan, I burn and get boils all over my body :thumb001:

the same , beside sun allergy , directly i don't want to take the sun, protective creams do not work

[Norb]

if you get a tan then you are MED

[Larali]

I don't tan at all. I only get red for a day and then it turns pink for a while.

[Black Panther]

I can go from slightly pale to golden deep bronze. Love my skin.

[Congolese Rice]

My natural skintone is probably a Golden/warm toned light/oliveish brown. And when i tan i can easily become literally brown. Like a deep medium brown.

76604

^ here's a good scale of skin colors, dark brown/black, "white", and brown/medium brown. I am also the rightmost boy incase u didnt know lol

[Congolese Rice]

I can go from slightly pale to golden deep bronze. Love my skin.

The powa of having black ancestry B^) I think my skin color is either equal to yours or slightly lighter when i am tanned xd

[Marinus]

I'm a "type II" in the Fitzpatrick scale, as long as I use strong sunscreen I'm able to tan reasonably well, with no sunscreen my skin burns and peels off.

Using this image for comparison, I'm naturally a "N-1", but I'll go to "C-3/4" when I tan.

Before choosing a beauty skin care product, ask how your genes look
Natural skin color
Like most Chinese people, you have a skin that is neither white nor dark. Just look at the cleansing and moisturizing to keep the skin smooth and moist, you can have a good look.
Genetic effects 63%-72% 2 references 59.67% of people are just like you

Skin moisturizing is better
In cold or windy weather, or in an area with dry air, you may feel that the skin is a bit dry and tight, but usually there is no dander.
1 Reference 44.87% of people are just like you

Harder to stay
You belong to a type of skin that will hardly leave permanent visible scars. After scarring from the wound, the scar is usually pink, showing a flat or slightly concave state and becoming less and less visible over time.
Genetic effects 80% 5 references 38.88% are the same as you

May be sunburned
After prolonged exposure to the sun, your skin will usually turn black overall. When the sun is strong, redness, pain, peeling and other sunburn reactions can also occur. When you are outdoors, you need to take sun protection measures.

You dad tans very well and your mom has reasonable tanning ability.

I unfortunately am a typical Scouser in this regard.

I freckle and get a light brown. Too much sun and I burn

I used to think I tan well until I spent many hours in the sun the other day doing yard work. My forearms tanned a bit but I developed red spots all over my upper arms and face with stinging in the face. Seems like I can tan up to a certain point before I start burning, much sooner than I would have expected.

I didn’t think I could tan when I was younger, but I discovered in my teens I have to put on tanning oil and tan for abt 30 minutes every three days gradually increasing the time to get any color and it fades very quickly. I mostly just get a lot of freckles that fade in the winter. If I stand out in the sun without gradually getting some color for 45 min or more I turn red, peel, and turn the same color I was. I don’t even bother trying to tan anymore since I’m afraid of getting skin cancer. I have prob skin type 1 Celtic type.

I get rosy olive tan first which can change to pretty brown after days spent on the sun. I tan pretty good : )

I can become really (reddish-) brown. But usually I don't.
