It could appear so at first, but over time the skin damage it causes makes the skin more uneven. Alternatives to tanning are false tanning or trying some of that jerggins stuff or just being happy with your skin tone. If you do decide to tan, use sunscreen and don't go to tanning salons as they are even more damaging to skin than the sun itself because they concentrate straight UV rays to the skin.

If you have extremely pale skin that burns easily and turns red easily but does not tan but you like your pale skin the only thing is how can you make it glow and look healthier naturally and without?

It may be that you would benefit from a very minor amount of tanning, so that you still have the pale skin that you like, but it isn't quite so severely pale. This can be done by getting very small amounts of exposure to sunlight over a long period of time, let us say, five minutes a day. If even that causes a burn, cut back to three minutes a day. Eventually you will develop a slight tan (assuming that you are not an albino - you don't have red irises, do you?)
