Is Tanning Lotion Necessary for Iron Deficiency Anemia?

For those who experience paleness as a person with iron deficiency anemia, is it really unnecessary to get something like tanning lotion to get more color? I noticed how pale was in a picture with me and my boyfriend at our date night on our one year anniversary. Like as pale as a ghost or a vampire

I just embrace it! I’m naturally pale as is , but I’ve come to just love my paleness. If you’re really wanting to put some color on It definitely won’t hurt to try some self tanner. Tanning beds and whatnot are super bad for your skin 🤗 Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with being pale ! :)

I mean I’m naturally white because my Scandinavian Anglo-Saxon gene but this color of white looks more like I’m a vampire or I’m just really really sick
