Does difficulty in outdoor tanning imply that it will be just as difficult when using a tanning bed?
Different people tan differently depending on their skin type and the presence or absence of pigments. Those who have adequate pigments will find that they are able to tan easily in no time at all, whether they indulge in outdoor or indoor tanning. However, those who lack the necessary pigments may find that it almost impossible to acquire a tan outdoors and indoor tanning could achieve mixed results, from taking longer to acquire the desired color to not being able to acquire a tan at all. Studies show that almost 5% of the population find it impossible to acquire a tan.
