But they're not even tanned...
It could be winter time when they filmed this? You usually don’t go as dark for winter
They are! Without a tan they'd be glowy white/blue like me!
They are for white folks. The lighting was weird, which is why the videos helped.
The girl in the grey jacket deffo wasnt
They look tanned to me
Why do people obsess over tanning?
Skin cancer is a thing.
Why do people obsess over cigarettes, lung cancer is a thing
@@TheSaffronica cos cigs are a drug, but tanning beds are... tanning beds.
@@SaltyPretzel0 I'm not disagreeing with the comment, I'm saying that people do things even though they know there is a possibility of it hurting them, people obsess and like to tan even if they know it can cause them skin cancer just like people still like cigarettes even if it can cause lung cancer- addiction is born from something that initially creates pleasure for a person, just because nicotine is a drug and tanning is not, they are both one in the same, because tanning can be abused, just like cigarettes, and thus become like a drug to someone, just like exercise for one person may be normal but some people can become addicted to it, orthorexia ffs, don't try clap back when you can't read the subtext of my comment
@@TheSaffronica sorry 🤷 but ur right, humans turn everything into addictions. guess that didn't cross my mind.
It's mental illness. Different people have different obsessions.
That muscly guy was the biggest catfish going
How?
he’s not even supposed to open his eyes while in the sunbed super dangerous
나는 합당하지 않다.Ghost The Nobody But he doesn’t look bad in person. He looks better 😂😂
Why do none of them have chins?
But he doesn’t look bad lol
That nose piercing guy is the best example of how you CANNOT trust online pictures!!
LMAO! I was thinking the same thing!! Hell my picture on here doesn't look at all like me on an average day...and I didn't use any filters, just make-up and angled the camera right to get a good pic!
🤣🤣🤣
I mean he still looks cute in real life
Looks like he plucks his eyebrows...... a tad bit silly if a man plucks his eyebrows like a las... or a Vulcan! LOL
It’s weird because he looks better in real life. Idk why he changes his selfies
I’m telling you they’re all gonna go home and use fake tan instead
😂😂
No they're going to continue tanning, the girl and the bigger guy definitely. Two narcissists
Canget
I would not use sun beds if used too often it can give you cancer I know you can get cancer with out going to a sun bed
That would be fine!!! Spray tan isn’t deadly.
I have a fear of sun beds ever since that one Final Destination moment😵..
Obito Uchiha YESSS
Same
AGREEDD
YES!!!
YES
And the sad thing is they might have just gone back home, stopped for a few weeks and jumped straight back to a tanning bed.
It's true sadly. If they really are addicts like the video claims, they need some form of treatment such as counseling otherwise they'll return to their habits eventually.
that's addiction at it's finest.. or worst, rather.
Tanning not as bad as this video makes it seem
_Tanning injections??!!!_
*Ooh honey, no*
_3-4 times a week_
*I-*
_I get them online which is a bit risky_
😐😐
_I have no idea what's in them_
*facepalm* I literally give up on humanity
It's a stupid thing to do.
@@hyacinthgrows you don't say
Natural selection
There's a lass I work with who swears by them like she does get SUPER brown but like the bloke in the video she gets them off the internet and all it takes is one bad batch for something to go horribly wrong xxx
Did not even know this existed
Some people want to bleach while other people want to tan. What a strange world we live in. I think it would be cool if we had a video where skin bleachers and skin tanners confronted each other about which is best 😂
MrMentalz2 both are bad but bleaching is worse. The culture and history behind light skin being better is deeper plus there is no safe successful way to lighten skin.
MrMentalz2 don't Asian women in Korea a d Japan buy skin whitening products to appear whiter? Would love for these people to confront them and see what happens
I’d love to see that video
I’d love to see that video
That's true...the history and psychological reasons for skin bleaching makes it more understandable (although dumb and destructive) because in many instances, those people do it with a belief that it will help with social mobility (jobs, mates, various opportunities, etc), whereas tanning seems purely based on vanity and instagram likes...no historical significance. With that said, the bleachers should watch this to realize that they shouldn't bleach away that natural protection bestowed upon black/brown skin. I see my poor colleagues literally burn in the sun, while I'm just fine (although I still wear sunblock). I've never experienced sunburn and don't want to, lol.
Makes me really glad that I’ve accepted my pale skin for what it is. I don’t even want a natural tan anymore.
Sierra Long Pale skin is awesome! I’m pale too and everyone acts like being pale is bad but it really isn’t.
Pale is lovely.
Yes, same here!
I'm extremely pale, all my life I've had mean comments about it, or people asking if I'm sick all the time, but love my pale skin
Scottish Stan your pale skin is very beautiful ♡
That's the cleanest and most kickass scar tho. 💯 Hope she's doing well.
It's probably pretty hard to see it that way tho when it's connected too her literally possibly dying.. which isn't cool at all but I hope she survived and grew to think of it not as any type of flaw. There's really no reason anyone should think of such a clean scars as anything bad
Bless her. Hope she’s doing okay and her accent is so cute. Best scouse accent I’ve heard xxxx
No scar is good. I have one on my neck. Surgeries are always risky
“Whats one freckle” well, skin cancer maybe idk?🤷🏻♀️
People have always made fun of my pale skin and told me to tan my whole life... Seeing things like this just make me say... "THIS IS WHY."
I'm glad I've learned to love my pale skin.
From your pic I guess you're a natural red head? I think tan would look horrible on you anyway :/ You're very pretty the way you are.
Mia P Yes, I agree that it would look awful. I'm actually not a natural red head but I have the skin of a ginger. My hair is naturally almost black.... Everyone thinks it's natural though because I am so pale. Thank you so much by the way.
I'm glad you are happy with ur natural look. No tan or bleach is gonna beat that..
I don't find people that change their appearance attractive at all. I don't understand why they do it..
I don't know why, but I used to really hate tans. Like, even natural ones. I still kind of do, to be fair. I'm significantly paler than the rest of my family and I'm apparently a vampire lol
part of it is because being pale contrasts with my freckles and makes them really noticeable, I think, but to be fair I have to many I think it would be noticeable anyway!
Wow I hope the girl with the scar is doing okay
Qwerty Bastard how can you say it's not that bad, it's literally cancer
melanoma can spread to other parts of the body and kill you, it is THAT bad
Qwerty Bastard Melanomas can be extremely aggressive and resistant to conventional cancer treatment... having it used to be a death sentence (and it’s still not great now) but luckily it responds well to immunotherapy.
'It's not that bad'? She has the deadliest form of skin cancer you fool.
She is on insta. I’ve followed her for ages. Actually shocked to see her on this.
She’ll be grand. Sometimes in life we need a little scare to realise what’s important and to get us on the right track.
Every doctor ever: "Tanning greatly increases the risk of skin cancer"
Tanners: "Yeah sure but I just love tanning"
Girl: "I got skin cancer from tanning"
Tanners: "Omg I never knew it was so dangerous"
We're stupid like that, took me to know someone to die of lung cancer before i quit smoking
Yea they edited this video quite strangely. However, I still respect it because it's such an important message to spread.
@rymdalkis You’ll never fully feel the impact of your actions until you see someone who has suffered from doing the exact same thing you did. Saying something and seeing something is completely different and the impact carried is different.
bro i got confused when i saw your profile pic
tanning obsession is one of the most stupid thing ever known
Especially when it's free and natural to use sunlight. Some people are just born stupid. 😂
IKR!
@@jamesrushton9261 in some countrys you almost dont have sun lol even in summers
Couldn’t even tell they were that tan in this video lolll
I agree, but I'm pretty sure it's the lighting
I dont even need to know the consequences. When i saw the final destination movie with the sunbed scene i was fucking terrified of those things
MeMelomis me too that’s what i thought of about this video
Omg same and also with the roller coasters
Same
Same
Sammemememe
i have never looked at someone on instagram whose orange from fake tanning and thought; “yeah i wanna look like that.”
charlotte Do you wanna look like trump? Because that’s how you look like trump
Same! I think it’s cuz when I was younger I already knew that sunbeds could cause cancer and I was scared.
I tanned as a kid, a teen, and adult.
12 years ago was diagnosed with Basil Cell. It's still a cancer that cripples and disfiguring if not treated. I'm white as Casper and alive. I'm grateful.
This lady keeps me grounded. THANK YOU❤
Pale is beautiful, tan is beautiful, brown is beautiful, black is beautiful. Accept your own beauty and don’t risk anything by altering your appearance 😘
If you had said pale is beautiful. (Which is related to this video) the. People would be hating.
Accept your natrual skin color
Is pale skin natural skin colour
Me Glisten for some people yes
Leah Winningham oh ok thanks just wanted to know
Me Glisten kinda a weird questions TBH
They don't look anything like their selfies lmao
Lauren nobody really does because the picture flips, unless you have an iPhone cause then it flips to what you look like head on.
They never do.
I say no thanks to skin cancer and leathery skin. My aunts are a good example of why you shouldn't tan that much.
I don't tan at all.
Agreed
Sappho me either I’ll go out in the sun if needed without sunscreen but I don’t intentionally lay in the sun or bake in a sun bed 3 times a week.
Tanning can be pretty addictive. You ignore the long term consequences for the temporary lift that it provides. Darker skin hides flaws and makes all clothing and hair colors look more attractive against your skin. On top of that, the heat and radiation actually lifted my mood when I would leave a tanning session. It’s a hard thing to leave behind
The non-buff guy is quite handsome though
Thank you 😇😇
Tobias you really are ❤️
freyaxoxo thanks lovely! X
Ikr... He looks attractive and sweet at the same time.
Tobias lol ur in the comment section
But... Why?... I don't understand why having a tan is so important! It's just another shade of skin! Is it really worth the risk???
J Campbell because if your really pale, your not seen as "beautiful" it's consider more beautiful to be darker and tanned
The-One-And-Only I agree the world's rules are all over the place haha, I have found (being a very pale person myself), that it's not hard to accept that your skin tone is "beautiful" it's just harder for other people to accept it. Although I must say when standing next to my (fake) tanned maytes in a photo the difference is very noticeable haha
over here, tan is beautiful. over in east asia, pale is beautiful. people want what they don’t have.. i’m glad i always liked being pale.
It's weird... And kinda low-key racist that people hate (not quite hate, but you get the gist) being a certain skin tone. I don't get how people think being darker or more pale is better-looking, it's just skin. As long as it's healthy skin, it looks nice, whatever the colour.
I use fake tan and would never use a sunbed. I use it because it makes me feel better in my clothes and gives me more confidence in myself. An outfit always looks better with a tan.
Am I the only one who’s happy with their skin tone?
Nope. Me too!
No, im happy with mine as well
Me too
Me!
Same! Scars and all
I'm white as a sheet and I'm so grateful that my mom never stressed a tan as beautiful. Skin cancer runs in my family so I've always been told to be vigilant with sunscreen. Sometimes I wish I could be tan but I know I'm supposed to stay pale for my health
I'd rather be pale and wrinkle free for as long as possible with spf 50 then have obvious skin damage and hoards of sunspots from the cancer machine.
MattJohn should they not ban sunbeds
I have very white skin like a character in twilight movie and I am proud of that
Gentlemen Gamer always be proud of what your born with if it the darkest of dark or the lightest of light or anything in between you can't help with what your born with
Gentlemen Gamer that's good, be happy with yourself
ur a white supremasist omg
The Gasman who is a supremacist?
I'm pale af too 😂 I am who I am, certainly not ashamed.
The guy with nose piercing looks different in person than in his selfies. His face is wider in real life.
none of them look tan
Or attractive. When you're ugly, being tanner doesn't help anything
@@SaraS-jq1ln that muscly guy looks good...
It’s cos of the background, put them in a bright room and next to pale people and you’ll see
I think her scar is beautiful, hope she pulls through
>her scar is beautiful
That’s a bit dumb now isn’t it.
KatzRool Not really
Her scar should serve as a lesson, not as a mark of admiration. The scar has by no means disfigured her however to say it is beautiful is truly ignorant.
Just saying that there’s a 90% chance she feels ugly because of the scar, it doesn’t matter what the cause is
KatzRool
You can learn a serious lesson from her scar but also appreciate her unique beauty and the strength that her scar is symbolic of. It’s not one or the other.
When you’re black so you can’t relate
Jeremias Costa Hehehehehee
Lol true...but then we have issues of like skin bleaching and stuff.
T Moloi not on this level tbh, people should keep that same energy for the tanners. More people tan than bleach imo
Wait, can brown blacks not tan their skin to a darker shade of brown?
What he’s saying is that the darker the skin the less risk you have of skin cancer 🤘🏽🤘🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽👍🏽👋🏽
It's weird to me how the tan addicts are like "omg, i love tanning" and the second they hear the sad story they start trashtalking what they do. It's not like you didn't know the risks. You can't be THAT not informed.
I was pleasantly shocked to see how quickly their attitudes towards tanning beds changed after meeting her. Wow.
it's called shitty directing.
Love the skin you’re in.
Genesis Mendoza well said
Exactly, Black people want to lighten up and white people want to darken up, its beyond ridiculous
2cer3al I was brought up thinking whiter skin is more beautiful but my skin is very easy to tan. It could drastically change with the seasons from light brown to dark. Now that I’m older I’m happy with whatever skin I have whether it’s pale or tan.
Genesis Mendoza where I grew up people considered tan skin to be more beautiful. And I am really pale. And when I say pale I mean like never seen the sun before pale. And people always called me ghost, or Caspar. And it really made me insecure. I can’t say that I am completely self confident now. But I am on my way to be...
Genesis Mendoza exact same.. everyone in my family and mexicans in general (I’m Mexican) all wanna be white so bad.. my skin darkens really easily and it sucks that the whole world (at least in Latin America, Asia, the Caribbean etc) worships lighter skin..
Knew a girl in high school who used tanning beds and had already gotten skin cancer before 18.
And she didn’t stop going. Just blows my mind.
Same as people who get lung cancer and keep smoking, I guess. Addiction is addiction no matter how 'silly' it appears to be.
That’s called natural selection
Thankfully Australia has banned sunbeds as we have the one of highest rate of skin cancer in the world. We can't spend more than a few hours in the sun without having to put on spf 50+ sunscreen.
Am Laura G. You need to put on the factor 50 before you go out!
She's so lovely to go out and to share her story
How can you be addicted to burning your skin lol
Technically you could be addicted to tying your shoes
Sugar I used to work at a spa that had a sunbed and there was a woman who was addicted to it. She said it relaxed her muscles the way no massage ever could. She would come in and bandages would he falling off of her because her doctor had to keep cutting cancerous spots off her skin. We had to eventually decline service to her because it was affecting her health.
Some people are addicted to burning flesh, l know when l bang the old lady hard l can smell flesh
jeez be a little open minded
i guess a lot of people don't see it as 'burning'. they try to justify it as 'oh well i'm burnt now but it'll peel and turn to a tan so its fine!' plus i guess with modern day beauty standards, with the whole instagram look, its no longer 'in' to be pale
Is nobody gonna talk about that one cringy guy who looked nothing like his pictures.
I don't understand why you'd photoshop yourself to the point you don't even look the same. Sure people online won't know it, but the people in your real life will easily spot the difference. How insecure can you possibly be, how hungry for the validation of strangers.
Agree, sheeps everyone one of them. They probably watch reality tv aswell.
I WAS LITERALLY THINKING AB THAT.
some people are ugly alexandra
When they showed his pictures, I felt like I was in limbo like 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Believe in yourselfie
What a beautiful, brave young woman. The fact that she's desperately trying to stop her illness happening to others is extremely commendable. Hope it doesnt return in you. X💗💗
Applaud to all the participants for telling their stories, for bringing up the issue, that is a good thing to make and show people on internet
But they’re not even tan, so it’s obviously not working..
I disagree. The lighting is poor and there isn't a pale person to compare them to, not even the blonde girl seem all that pale to me.
I think everyone should just be happy with their natural skin. Nothing wrong with being dark or pale white! I always wear suncream and don’t stay in the sun too long. The sun ages white skin faster and we are at greater risk of skin cancer. A tan isn’t worth all the trouble
Jordan Powell yet Asians don't ages as much, that always boggled me
Christine Mihailova. Ginger people (myself included) who are usually super pale and aren't able to tan (just burn) apparently can create vitamin D in lower light levels which I guess is nice. I would say to people not to use the sun for tanning purposes just to get vitamin D and you usually don't need to spend too long outside in the sun for that.
I lost so many brain cells watching this.
People: you’ve really made me change my mind here
Also people 5 minutes later: ORANGE PLSS
I think my profile pic shows me kinda tanned so will back this story up: I used tanning beds so much that I end up developing skin cancer on my left temple that had to be surgically removed. I used to do a tanning bed twice a week because before I did people used to ask me "are you sick?" because I was so pale. Now, I have got a pretty obvious scar on the side of my head from the removal of the skin cancer. Be very careful and always use sun protection.
Stephen McVicker better to be asked if you're sick than to actually be sick
Now I will be extra careful
Stephen McVicker wow. Glad you're okay!
Pale skin is beautiful
my best wishes to you, hope you remain cancer free
What the literal hell is a tanning injection????
Love Music Soul its melotan
Love Music Soul its a small dose of melanin that you get through a shot. It was originally developed to prevent people at high risk of skin cancer from actually developing it. But when it became more available people found that in higher doses regularly it can cause you to "tan". And now if you get to many of them it can still cause cancers and damage your skin.
You have 69 likes so I’m not gonna like the comment bc this is too perfect for me..
Also I have no clue what a tanning injection is lol
what if im just a bed addict, i dont like being out of my bed
Ezra what a long ass name . jamarillo Duque Puerto Rico
"The fake tans just doesn't feel natural"
*proceeds to artificial sun booth to fake being darker than you really are*
“There’s a stigma with guys that use fake tan” but there isn’t one with guys that use tanning beds? Lmaooo
Bonnie B there is, any guy like that I know would get the piss ripped of him for going into one
its the same with wearing fake medals that you did not get given by the queen for really blowing the legs off children..
in a really crazy fake world - people like their fake to be genuinely authentic..
i get ripped on going on tanning beds but i do it to get rid of acne, works like a charm.
It’s good that some brands are bringing out Self Tan for guys now. Bondi sands have launched one and there’s one called Man-Tan.
Sean Devaney yep and women think they are oppressed !
Vanity comes with a price.
An expensive price
True
Absolutely
Yeah dude my vanity table
Cost me £1450!!
*Self esteem & emotional problems leading to adopting poor coping mechanisms comes with a price.
They probably went straight back to the sun beds after this
This made me cry... really opens your eyes
what a strong woman. i am so glad those three took her story into consideration of their own lives. that woman is so brave and so strong, likely made such a difference to so many people who put this off by something as simple as “just tanning”.
That buff guy is so hot. Why is he injecting himself and tanning? It’s awful how vanity can really takeover someone. I’m white as a ghost and I’m mixed; child of brown parents and I’ve never wanted to change my skin or tan. I’ve always been teased or joked about and not once has it wanted me to drastically change myself.
Ray Lopez “buff guy is so hot” ..then you ask why he does the things to himself..? Probably so people (like yourself) think he’s hot
Idk
Ray Lopez I'm mixed also (eurasian) and my light-medium skintone changes through the seasons ! I used to wish I didn't go pale in the winter and put on fake tan but learned I actually preferred my natural shade, not to mention how annoyingly high maintenance and time consuming fake tan is.
Amy Lovejoy Same 😂
she’s so pretty, wow, i hope she’s okay from now on 💛
I was an absolute addict to tanning. I worked at a salon, owned my own bed, had a friend who owned a salon and a friend that worked in one too. I tanned multiple times a day, every single day from 17 to 31. I stopped shortly after my last and surprise baby at 29 just realizing after seeing a friend of mines husband who was a single father when she married him get one spot on his back just from the regular sun exposure and it killed him in less than a year. I have so many spots, so many and yet I've never been to a dermatologist but I need to. I almost immediately felt sick after I stopped tanning, and I stopped cold turkey. Like I said I had 3 children and I tanned everyday with each pregnancy as well but as she got a bit older I had that moment after seeing what happened to my friends new husband and I couldn't choose a tan over leaving my little girl and boys motherless. So I started with very strange symptoms and over the years they have suspected different things such as cancer after finding a huge lump in my breast, to MS and now lupus but I am as white as a ghost extremely low on vitamin D and now I cannot go into the sun, or be near heat without major consequences. It's like I have become allergic to the sun and heat. I don't know if any of what I'm dealing with was tanning related but all I know is after I stopped for my health I'm so I'll now I can't hardly have a life, I don't, I can't go in the sun or heat. I don't know all the damage the tanning has truly done to med but it seemed my body absolutely turned on itself when I quit because it doesn't know how to live without it. I'm 39 now and barely have the energy to shower most days, my skin is a mess and I truly think the addiction has done permanent damage and probably more to the actual skin than I even know. This all started because in middle school someone called me Casper for being too white. It followed me for the rest of my life and I risked dying for that tan and I am now so sick the kids I wanted to live for I can't even take to the pool. Just don't fuck with your health. Just live with who you are, I always loved pale skin and I let a couple of dickheads basically turn me into an addict willing to die to keep that tan. Your health is everything, it's number 1, with good health you can do anything. Once your health is gone you feel like you have already died. Well those boys were right I certainly do live like a ghost now, inside and out at night and have barely a life at all.
You went on the sunbeds pregnant?
Is it just me or does that scar legitimately make her look 10 times more beautiful.
It's literally just you.
I disagree
Lily its just you darling
Jason Luigi clearly not considering 37 other people have liked this comment
@@Lily-ov5zy This is cringe please stop
That scar is so badass tho!
honeyhoneycomb yes! I was thinking the same thing!!!
I am from India and my skin is naturally tan. 1st- Genes and I rarely found any relative of mine to be white.
2nd- Where I lived there was no such thing as winter. It was always 44-48 in summer and in winter it was 35 C. Sun was always on ur head.
You should see what girls over there did to protect themselves from sun or get more fair.
They would try home remedies for lighter skin , go to parlours, pay shit load of money, buy foundation 5 shades lighter.
I have also been told to try few things for lightening my skin but I feel absolutely comfortable with however I am
That's true! I'm from South Africa and skin bleaching/lightening creams are also an issue here. It's really sad... anyway, yeah, I feel you. I've come to love my dark skin. Really, there's no better way! And there are so many benefits of more melanin.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Blessed to be black. I am in love with my colour and my people, I hope they all become comfortable in their skin!
blessed to be human
exactly! Saarije Baartman was made into a human spectacle for her big natural ass. But now everywhere ya look, these fake Kim K asses. And kylie Jenner lips. Such a joke.
y do black people hate white people
@@anthonyadams7249 Anthony, we will never know why the african american race hates us. But my closest guess is that white people usually have better life's because we are more richer and successful and live in better neighborhoods.
What's wrong with some of the people in these comments??? Bevx kitten's comment was in no way disrespectful and there was no hate! What's the matter with you all?
Just embrace your pale skin, all colours are beautiful. Black, white, brown, everything :)
Samuel115s if only everyone else could see that my pale skin is "beautiful"
hello darkness all colours are beautiful 😊
Samuel115s I like my twilight movie vampire white skin
💗👏well said
Yeah say that to the guy who is lonely with no kids that wants a family
Make them watch that scene is final destinations then its all good
Saw that scene when I was young. Scared for life for good reason.
I used to go to tanning salons in college. My dad was diagnosed multiple times with different types of skin cancer (including melanoma). To not learn from others’ mistakes and misfortunes does both you and them a disservice.
I was considering going into a sun bed for the first time. I've changed my mind... I'll embrace my natural paleness!
Riven yazz. I recommend like a healthy beachgoing, with sunscreen.
I think you are beautiful with pale skin, especially with your hair colour 😍
you look very beautiful with the color of your skin (:!
I'm glad I learned to love my pale skin. I'm the palest in my family and everyone always told me I look quite sick and should "get some colour", I even got pinched and slightly slapped , even my best friends family back then bullied me because of my pale skin "corpse kid" etc. There was a time when I tried really hard to get darker I would lay in the sun all day without sunscreen because red turns to brown after a while. I personally never wanted it but I felt like I had to be darker. I think it also has something to do with beauty standards because being pale isn't viewed as sexy but being tan is. I noticed that all races have some beauty standards that just don't make sense. Some Africans bleach their skin and some Europeans try so hard to get darker. It's insane! Can't we just love and appreciate how we look naturally?
Yes! Mood.
"Europeans try so hard to get darker" what? Not all people in the europe are pale af. Europeans come in all colors. Ever seen someone from the Balkan?
Pale skin is absolutely beautiful! I love my pale skin and wouldn't trade it for anything
Im from the Netherlands and no one wants to get darker... A tan, yes, but not darker
Moon Pilot a tan is darker. 😑
I used to tan every day, sometimes in both the bed and in the sun. I have been diagnosed with melanoma three times between the ages of 25 and 28. It’s pretty clear that this will be a lifelong battle for me now, and I feel in my heart that I will eventually lose my life to melanoma.
Please please please learn to love your skin tone just as it is. You are worth so much more.
Your pale skin looks great and natural
Wow. Instagram vs Real Life!!
Is it me or do people not know the difference between tan and black or am i just seeing things.
Ikr
Thought I was the only one
they shoulda had that crazy tan mom on here... she llooked like an overdone roast hahaahha....
the point is they are trying to look closer to our skin color.
@@MannyBiship yea ok....hahahah....as if i wanna be black... lololol... in any way shape or form.....too funny...unless your a WIGGER......
I didn't realize that the pics on the background were actually the people speaking.... None of them even look like their pictures in real life... So why don't they just use some weird fake tan filter on their pictures instead? Ha ha!
Sun beds have been banned in Australia for years.
Wow. The very thought of being in a sunbed gives me anxiety (thanks to Final Destination) 😂😂can't imagine being in there for like 15+ minutes
3:40 that uncomfortable moment from that guy felt really genuine, like he couldn't maintain his smile to keep the levity up. i somehow felt like the girl just smiled and nodded through the whole thing.
Why are none of them tanned then?
AL._ 15 Its probably the lighting
the guy in the thumbnail is so fit
I was going to try a sun bed soon, as I used to be so bullied in school on how pale I was. I’ll never do it now after watching this. Made me cry!
they’re not even that crispy
I have super white skin, like I could easily play a vampire in movies. It used to bother me because I used to listen to the beauty standards that were portrayed in the media, but after I learned about the risks, that even come with simple sunbathing without sunscreen I really don't care anymore. I'd rather not have skin cancer just from wanting to meet a certain beauty standard.
Also my really light skin really fits my style now, with only wearing black and stuff😄
Band Nerd yess girl love the confidence
Band Nerd growing up the beauty standard has always been white so im confused.
anitabelikov here in Germany the beauty standard is white but with a tan and I am literally as pale as a ghost :D
Band Nerd snd here i want to be pale🤓
I still want to
They need another series of this 💁🏽♂️
At least they were honest about having a problem
My mum was diagnosed with Melanoma last year. She kept on going to the doctor but they kept saying there was nothing wrong with her mole. She wouldn’t give up though, so she tried one more time and then they found out the mole was going to turn cancerous if she didn’t get it removed. Luckily it was a very early stage of Melanoma and she got rid of it as quickly as possible...but if she hadn’t she would have had about two years left to live. She now has a big scar on her arm and a dip where the fat has been taken off but she said to me it’s nothing compared to cancer. She’s not old, she’s only 51 so Don’t play with your life. Take care of it. It’s the only one you’ll get. I hope everyone reads this and understands the risks and takes action. Thank you. Take care x
I think any dark skin tone or race can be so beautiful and also very pale white skin. 🌹
and thisss is why I just use a bottled tanner instead of going to sunbeds
I was addicted to tanning for a decade. After finding a suspicious mole I continued to tan thinking it was a false alarm. When the biopsy came back precancerous I had to face the realization that my behaviour was self-destructive. After further biopsies with precancerous results I use SPF every single day. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I've had to learn to love myself again. Pale is beautiful too. Embrace who you are and know you don't need to change to be beautiful.
accept the skin you have
I'm so amazed by Gemma/ Jemma. Sharing your personal story is so brave 💜
these people take lunacy to a whole new level
I'm white af and I literally burn under the sun. I slightly tan after days. But I always protected my skin with a SPF. When I was 12 I fell asleep at the beach, there were clouds, but the sun rays burned me so bad, I'll remember it all my life. I love my porcelain skin and I don't want a skin cancer. Protect your skin, people. If you want to be tan, fake tans are a thing. Don't fry yourself, damn
I'm white too and if I stay outside for even 15 minutes without a hat or sun protection I start to burn. Legit.
My family is Dutch so I have very fair skin. I burn easily and I never get a tan I just peel. I can't understand why ppl would pay to burn their skin it's so unbelievably painful. I was at a beach recently on a warm day and stupidly didn't use sunscreen. It wasn't a really hot day just warm so I thought I would be fine. I was burnt so badly I couldn't move for 2 days. Never ever ever again.
They want to follow their favorite idols and look perfect is my guess.
Skål!
That happened to my best friend
Am I the only one who really hates getting a tan and loves being as pale as possible?😂

I am so content with my fair skin and protecting it from the elements!!! Aging themselves quickly this way... I am in my mid thirties always mistaken for early 20s!!!!
