I am trying to tan, but I have semi fair skin, is there a easy way to get tan?

I have light skin and freckles but when I was younger and outside a lot I tanned fairly easily. Now that I have less time to go outside and tan and the weather isn't exactly favorable, I want to get tan for prom and my senior pics. [[I've used tanning beds before]] I want to know if I should use lotions, and if so what kinds? How long should I go? Our local tanning bed recently got two new tanning beds, a stand up and one that the owner said will tan you faster...does that mean it has stronger lights or better ones...which one should I use, the regular ones, the stand up, or the 'powerful' one? Are there any tips to possibly tan me faster without causing too much damage?...I know fake baking is bad so I don't need a lecture just some tips...and if you can let me know of some good tanning creams and sunless tanners...Thanks a bunch!

Call around and see if anyone has a Cyber bed; we have one at our salon, it has more lights and uses bronzing bulbs. You turn brown in the beginning, instead of red then brown. I am very fair and this is the best bed I've ever used. The use of these beds cost more, but is well worth the increase, you will start to notice a definite difference in just a few visits. Accelerators are a matter of choice, I like one called Hemp that does not add heat. I can't stand the burning sensation. Make sure you exfoliate (use a scrub) prior to tanning and good moisturizer before and after.

Reply:If you need to get tan in like a month, go 4-5 times a week and for the first week, go the least amount of time, 6 or 7 minutes. Then each week, move up a minute or two each session. I do that every year for a quick tan because I try to only tan 2-3 months out of the year.





Also, a lot of my friends to the spray-on tans and they look great. Just do it a couple days before your event and you have an instant sunless tan! They're about $25 per session and last a week or so.

Alternatively...





Just break away for some time... Go for vacation! The rural of India or Africa... Meet the people there and take some time to think; have you ever appreciate what has been given to you? And when you return to your place, you'll have this question...
