Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I want to get tan and need some advice. What is the quickest way to get tan? I am thinking of going to a tanning salon but a little scared of the health risk, but is it really any safer to go outside and bake? I am of light complexion, and also wondering how long it would take to build up a fairly good golden tan if I did goto a salon. Are any of the tanning oils or other supposed tanning enhancers on the market worth buying? Thanks!

FIRST OFF, IF YOU DONT TAN IN THE SUN, YOU WANT TAN IN THE BEDS.
IF YOU WANT A GOOD TAN, GO TO A SALON. NOT JUST ANY SALON, MAKE SURE YOU GO TO A SALON WITH MEDIUM PRESSURE BEDS. THOSE ARE THE VHR BEDS AND HAVE A 97% TO 3% UVA TO UVB RATIO. THE UVA IS WHAT TANS YOU, THE UVB IS WHAT BURNS YOU. EACH HAS A DIFFERENT WAVE LENGTH. THE SHORTER THE WAVE LENGTH (UVB) THE MORE YOU WILL BURN.
USE FACIAL TANNING LOTION. THEY REALLY SAVE YOUR FACE. THE FACE IS VERY DELICATE BUT AT THE SAME TIME IS VERY HARD TO TAN (HENCE THE FACIAL LOTIONS). IF YOU GO TO A CHEAP SALON YOU WILL GET A CHEAP BURN UHHHH I MEAN TAN.
AS FAR AS TANNING LOTIONS GO---DO YOU LIKE THE SIZZLE FACTOR STUFF OR NOT? WELL IF YOU DONT (WHICH I DONT) THEN I RECOMMEND DESIGNER SKIN MYSTERE. IT HAS BRONZERS IN IT BUT NO SIZZLE FACTOR. IF YOU DO LIKE THE SIZZLE FACTOR THEN GO WITH DESIGNER SKIN ENIGMA. IT IS VERY HOT THOUGH YOU WILL GET VERY DARK. IT IS KINDA EXPENSIVE BUT IF YOU DONT WANT TO DRY OUT AND START LOOKING LEATHERY, I SUGGEST YOU INVEST IN THE GOOD STUFF. TANNING CAN ACTUALLY BE GOOD FOR YOU IF YOU DO IT RIGHT. THESE TWO I HAVE MENTIONED HAVE INGREDIENTS SUCH AS COQ-10, HEMP SEED OIL, AND GREEN TEA EXTRACT IN THEM. THEY HELP TO CONDITIOIN AND MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN.
YOU CAN ACHIEVE A GREAT TAN WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE MAGDA FROM THE "SOMETHING ABOUT MARY" MOVIE. YOU JUST NEED TO USE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS AND DONT OVERDO IT.
IN A DR.'S OFFICE, THEY CALL TANNING "PHOTOTHERAPY". THEY ALSO CHARGE 80$ PER SESSION. IT HAS BENEFICIAL AFFECTS FOR THE SKIN BUT TANNING SALONS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT BY LAW. THAT IS WHY A DR. CAN SAY IT IS THERAPY AND CHARGE SO MUCH.
BTW---ONE OF MY BEST FREINDS OWNS A TANNING SALON AND I HAD TO TAKE ALL OF THE CERTIFICATION CLASSES WITH HIM SO I'M NOT JUST PULLING THIS OUT OF MY ACE.

.....OR YOU COULD ALWAYS DO THAT!!!
Wow...thanks Kayne for all the info!!! What exactly do you mean by sizzle factor? If it means getting tanner faster without any more skin damage I'm all for it 
Where can I purchase the products you were talking about? Are the tanning lotions you were talking about good for use on the face too or do you want to use a different lotion? If so, what is a good one? Thanks!!!!
Oh yeah, I've also heard of tanning booths which you stand up in, are these better to use than beds? If so, are they also rated in pressures like you were talking about the beds?

Bump....
I went looking for the products you were talking about Kayne and found them online, however the Engima says "for experienced tanners only", since I'm pretty pale would I want to stay away from that stuff? Judging from what I have been reading I think I am a skin type two.

THE STAND UP BEDS ARE USUALLY MEDIUM OR HIGH PRESSURE. HIGH PRESSURE IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. IT HAS <1% UVB IN IT. MEDIUM HAS ABOUT 3%. LOW PRESSURE HAS ABOUT 7% IN IT. THEREFORE, YOU WILL BURN MORE. IF YOU ARE SKIN TYPE TWO, THEN TRY A MEDIUM PRESSURE BED AT ABOUT 6 MINUTES AT FIRST. GO TWICE AT THAT THEN GO TO 8 MIN. REPEAT UNTIL YOU GET ALL THE WAY UP TO 12 MIN. THAT SHOULD BE THE MAX. AMOUNT THAT A MEDIUM PRESSURE VHR BED WILL ALLOW YOU TO GO.
SIZZLE FACTOR (OR TINGLE FACTOR) MEANS THAT IT WILL FEEL IT SIZZLING ON YOUR SKIN WHEN YOU PUT IT ON. IT BRINGS ALL THE MELANIN TO THE TOP OF YOUR SKIN AND IT WILL MAKE YOU RED REGARDLESS IF YOU TAN OR NOT IN THE BED. THE REDNESS WILL GO AWAY AFTER A FEW HOURS. IT DOES THIS TO GIVE YOU A DEEPER AND DARKER TAN. SINCE YOU ARE SKIN TYPE 2 I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM IT. I AM DARK AS HELL AND I CANT TAKE THE ENIGMA STUFF. I HATE THAT FEELING THOUGH IF I WANT TO GET ANY DARKER THAT IS WHAT I NEED TO GO TO. EXOTICA IS EVEN HOTTER THAN THAT.
YOU SHOULD STAY WITH THE DESIGNER SKIN "EROGENY" OR "MYSTERE". THE MYSTERE HAS BRONZERS IN IT BUT NO SIZZLE FACTOR AND SHOULD GET YOU PRETTY DARK.
FACIAL TANNERS: HP2000 IS GREAT. IT IS DUAL ACTION THAT SAVES THE SKIN AND REPLENISHES THE MOISTURE IN THE FACIAL TISSUE. IT ALSO PROVIDES A DEEP FACIAL TAN WITHOUT DAMAGE, HENCE DUAL ACTION.
ANYTHING ELSE I CAN HELP YOU WITH JUST LET ME KNOW.
