Absolutely, when you tan with a dark tan and your skin is pale, it's inevitable that the fade of will be vitiligo patchy. But if you use a fast tan I have noticed the fade of is way more forgiving, and less patchy. I have very pale skin and use a dark fast tan, but when it fades it gets lighter as well so it isn't noticeable at all and I can wear the tan for a good 12 days.
