In this part of the world people usually just end up looking disgusting when they try to get tanned, most of the time they just turn red and burn like me. I prefer very pale skin.
I don't like to go to the beach often, I always burn and start feeling sick if I'm out too long on a hot sunny day and may end up having fever the next day even if I've stayed in the shadow and drink lots of water.
