SPF just extends the time you can be under the sun before your tan or start to burn. It doesn't completely prevent tanning or block the sun's rays 100%.





You need to stay out of the sun as much as possible %26amp; consider wearing sun protective clothing which is tightly woven %26amp; specially treated. One brand is Solumbra. http://www.sunprecautions.com/





You should also wear broad sunglasses to protect your eyes %26amp; the delicate skin around your eyes.





Consuming foods (i.e. tomatoes, berries) %26amp; drinks (i.e. green tea) high in anti-oxidants will help your body heal the damage from sun exposure.What is the best way to take care of pale skin?
Use sunblock. Go for 45 - 50 SPF. It's important to get sun BLOCK, not a sunscreen. Apply it at least 30 minutes before you go outside. And try to avoid the sun as much as you can.
S.P.F. means you would have to re-apply the sunscreen, lets say if you have and S.P.F. of 15, you would have to re-apply every 15 minutes. It doesn't mean you can't tan [and I would not recommend tanning because you can get skin cancer that way]. Just buy a sun screen with an S.P.F. of 50+ so you wouldn't have to keep re-applying it! NEVER GO TO TANNING BEDS! =]
No, SPF does not mean ';no tanning';. But it is still very important, especially for sensitive fair skin.





However, wearing a hat that shades your face will keep your skin from tanning completely. Without sun-exposure, you won't tan. But of course, it's not like you can stay home all day. So wearing a wide brimmed hat is great. It's fashionable and functionable, even in the city.





And there is always the ';stay out of the sun'; idea if you want to give that a try. ;-D





I hope I could help!
