I'm sorry if I've missed something by not reading all of these comments, but...
I just wanted to say that it is really hard for me to be outside in the heat as well. :] I get hot very easily, and I burn in about 8 minutes. The sun really makes me feel irritable, exhausted, burnt, and just unhappy. I enjoy a pretty day as much as the next girl, but I prefer to take mine in from the shade.
Also, I don't think that there is anything wrong with being pale. :] It's just as pretty as any other skin tone, and if that's how you naturally are... well, then... I don't see the problem! Plus, if you are a pale person, that means that you are by default more likely to get skin cancer. I don't care what anyone says, I don't care if you have a tan, I don't care if you know a million people who use tanning beds and are totally fine... you still have skin damage that you just cannot see.
Even if you wear sun screen, you need to limit your time in the sun. Have any freckles? Moles? Those are sun damage. You were not born with them. All sun damage.
I know I sound paranoid, but that may be because I have relatives who have died from melanoma, and both my mom and dad have had various run-ins with skin cancer.
I'm careful about the sun- this is no joke.
And I say again, pale skin is pretty. :] Creamy and bright and delicate. Everyone is beautiful. Tans are not necessary.
Sunbathing.
