Ive worked outside a lot in the summer, my best advice is set an alarm to keep reapplying sunscreen. Maybe you can start taking walks outside, I think just being in the sun and nature and getting some exercise could help you feel more healthy. I like to use a lotion/face specific sunscreen and a clear spray on for the rest of my body, plus wear a hat to protect my scalp

i mean objectively speaking, being pale is not unhealthy, but tanning is pretty unhealthy, so... :/

if you don’t want to be in the sunlight or scared of skin cancer like you said, you can always try self tanner or a fake tan. as a pale girlie i like the b.tan “love at first tan” because it’s their lightest shade and not going to make you orange bc of the violet hue

but paleness is not inherently unhealthy. have you had blood tests done or anything? if there's no underlying vitamin deficiency or something then whatever, you're just pale
