How do I get pale again?

10,520 2,411 June 9, 2012 at 01:07 PM
Ok, so summer has started and I have been playing lots more tennis, I mean lots, avg. 10+ hours a week, and even using sunblock I have went up a good 5 shades, I am Chinese suppose to be lighter/light skin, yellow if you wanna say, now I look dark as some of the Hispanic people out there. Anything I can do? My parents get md at me for this b/c they say girls won't like me as I am so dark and stuff, and they always tell me to not play tennis although I do anyway. Anyway, any advice how to reverse this?

Wear a hat, long pants, long shirt, gloves, hoodie, face mask, and three pairs of socks with your shoes.

I have the socks part down, but the rest and I will sweat too much. Although I use what from time to time, can't serve with it on though, that is the challenging part.

Wear a higher SPF.
Don't play during peak sun hours (10 am - 4pm)
Find an indoor court.

No indoor courts at school here, I wear SPF 50 Sport Performance already, and as of right now, the sun sets around 8pm, and gets dark near 9:30. So basically the whole day is peak sun hours in the late afternoon. It is tough. Does putting on lotion and stuff help, I googled and found people putting lemon juice on their skin? How's that?

Do you realize how many more scholarships, jobs, positions, certificates, and federal grants/aids/food stamps/insurance programs your currently presumed ethnic background(s) qualifies you for? Why would you ever want to be whiter?

If you want to get whiter you may as well convert to christianity while you're at it. Your goal is to piss as many people off just by existing right? Dontknow

I don't think posting a pic will make your skin lighter.

I will/should be after this summer. I can start hitting the gym again, and not have to depend on tennis for exercise. Tennis is a sport sure, but it does not really shape your body, it is more of a sport that regulates your body weight and all.

Your parents are mad at you because they think girls won't like you because you got a tan? That has to be one of the most obnoxious and superficial things I've ever heard.

You should listen to your parents. Quit playing tennis and stay inside, become lazy, and get fat. Girls don't really go for the tanned athletic types anyway. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) Seriously. Your parents are being stupid.

Last I checked they made sunscreen up to an SPF 85. Might want to shop around. Wink5
