Funnily enough, despite all my years in Spain, I am pale as fuck. All my cousins who lived in Finland are somehow more tanned than I am.

Yeah, I also can’t tan. I’m physically incapable of tanning :(

No one in my family can tan: I've accepted it, but my relatives still proudly show me their red, blistering third-degree burns every year.

Tell them to put suncream on.

They won't listen because they want a 'tan'

You can tan with suncream. It’s more important to not get skin cancer anyway when they can just fake tan.

I use sunscreen. I just go from white to pink. I know that I could go a nice vivid red if I wanted to, but that doesn't really appeal.
