You can't live without sunblock so you go broke buying the good stuff – the stuff that work. The good, dermatologically tested ones that are are crazy expensive while the bad ones smell like crap, clog your pores and still leave your skin burning under the sun.
Scars and pimples show like you've got spotlights on them. Even tiny, microscopic ones that usually don't show on darker skintones. Well, too bad for people like me, they're a gazillion times more obvious on fair skin than on tanned skin. Boo hoo.
There's a high chance you'll get freckles (even if you don't do stuff that cause your skin to tan) and pigmentation a.k.a solar lentigo spots (uneven dark brown patches of skin that resemble freckles but are much larger in diameter) naturally becomes a BIG problem as your skin ages. In fact, age factors aside, these spots are most common in light skinned people and people who have trouble getting a tan. I fall into both categories. T_T
You'll never know how you'll look with a sexy, golden tan. Try getting that and you'll just burn and end up looking like a baked crab because fair skin rarely tans. It burns, turns red, hurts like your skin's on fire, and then it peels and you're back to square one.

I've found that if you've been sunburned once or twice, usually your skin will adapt and start to tan a little (or become resistant to burning).
But the best advice for fair-skinned people is to go out in the sun in moderation. Sunblock is only good for so much.

– Hmmm. Good insight. Perhaps mild tanning (to get accustomed to the sun and its rays) would work for some people. It doesn't work for me, though. I used to go out in the sun a lot. When I was younger. But when I started going to college, my skin changed. It refused to tan and I got burnt everytime I ventured out in the sun. Nowadays, even 10-minute walks in noon light makes my skin peel. Bad bad bad.
You've gotten your skin accustomed to tanning?
