My NATURAL tan looks yellow?

Question

I've been trying to even out a tan for the past four days now doing nothing but lying out in the sun. [No sprays lotions or anything] but my tan looks like its fake because my skin is yellowish! I was told to tan more so that I will turn a dark bronze color but wont this just make me look even more yellow?

Try exfoliating, could be an outerlayer of dead skin that appears yellow.

Stay out of the sun for a while and wait til it fades, or actually use a natural looking fake tan, or just stick with the yellowy tan, does it really make a difference whether it looks fake or not? It doesn't matter whether other people think it is, plus you can just tell them it's not.

I would wear a neutral based foundation , a pink tone blush and bronzer to cancel out the obvious yellow in your skin . Of course don't go overboard , but this will correct the yellowness that you see .

Who told you to tan more?

Tanning causes cancer.  Go to the FDA website & learn more about danger of tanning.

maybe it's because you have yellow undertones that show more when you tan . i would suggest a nice self tanning lotion like one by jergens or olay
