Yes I have.

I have had some friends get spray tans and look gorgeous.

I have personally only had bad experiences. I have tried a few tanning gels on my arms as testers... orange and streaky and occasionally my skin rashed out. They did a tester of spray tan on my leg and it rashed me out too. I guess my skin is too sensitive.

I have actually learned to embrace my pale skin. I get more compliments pale than I do when tan. I guess I was just meant to be white.

I do not now, nor do I ever plan to, use any type of tanning products. If there were a way to make myself glow in the dark from paleness, I'd go that route. I LOVE being pale and think that a tan looks odd with my hair color. It just doesn't suit me in the slightest.

Bear in mind, I like high contrast--I think some women with much lighter hair look fine with tans, but since my hair is so dark, I prefer the pale look.
