Hey!
I wasn't sure where to post this topic so I figured weight training is one of the more viewed topics on the forums so why not post it here.

I hate sun tanning. Its damn annoying. I have fair skin because I come from Irish decent so the sun hates me. I mean i'm not BRUTAL where i dont tan because yes i do tan it just takes a bit longer thien most people and i cant lay there all day i'll burn plus i wouldnt want to anyway. I'v tried that lotion **** before where you put it on and rub it around and takes awhile to soak into your skin and thein you let it sit and thein rinse it off and the color comes in 2-4 hrs later but the problem with it is that it only lasts for a couple of days. Does anyone know of any other tanning products out there wich last alot longer perhaps a month? Or even better does anyone know of any tricks with sun tanning to get a tan faster or something. I can't use baby oil even though it really soaks up the sun because it would burn me to death, lol.

plz help ! :)
 
Just a little bit each day, don't do like most people and stay out in the sun for 5 hours one day a month and expect to notice anything but red. Try maybe 20 minutes a day, BTW most creams or anything of the sort is only going to last a few days. Dark Tanning Oil is good, like SPF 4... That's about all I can think of...
 
spf4 might just burn you. I spend 4 hours on the river this past july 4th weekend. I put on SPF 45, every hour and a half, and I came out tan. If you dont wanna sun tan then:

find a tanning salon that does the 8 second tan. You stand in this booth, it sprays you down and your tan. But you have to follow instructions!!!!!! It doesn't look to bad, by the end of a week though you can tell that you need to go again or go with in the 2nd week. Your feet will start to look funny, cant describe it just half tan and half white spots i guess. Or you could find someone or a salon that does air brush tanning. I have had this done once and I loved it because the color was custimized for my complextion, it lasted a little longer the the 8 second spray tan, and looked more natural i think. But beware airbrush tan are a bit more $$$

No, this is more of a description. Many different brands will make it, let me know if you aren't sure about one.
 
oh lol thats actaully a good idea, haha. this isn't fake and bake right ? And how long do u think ur tan would stay after doing that like say 20 min every 2 or 3 days for a month
 
I joined Golds, they have tanning for free to members. Beds are weak, but if you lay in them long enough, you'll get tan :)
 
Tanning Bed.... one word, carcinogen. Studies have shown beds are 40% more likely to cause cancer.

which is why i stay as far away from tanning beds as i can. I dont want to be 40 and look like i'm 80 with leathery skin either.

yeah but if you go in the sun, you get tan lines. with a tanning bed you dont get tan lines because you are naked. and about getting leathery skin and stuff, you dont if you go in moderation (meaning not every day, and not for more than 20 mins, and not for more than 4 times a week, and not for more than 2 months straight)
 
I don't feel confident going to tanning beds, even if it's the only option in the winter. Just way too many pieces about it causing skin cancer. As for tan lines, I don't mind if my crotch area is a little lighter than the rest of my body. Best thing to do is not wear a speedo cuz the tan lines are really obvious then, heh.
 
yeah, that stuff isn't good for you. be carefull. very very careful.

I'm also very fair, and i'm pretty careful...they said one bad burn can really be more harmful that you know.

isnt $25 a month kind of steep for getting rid of tanlines?
 
oh god
just get out in the sun

tanning beds are just a waste of money ... especially in the summer when its hot and sunny outside.
dont worry about tanlines ... so maybe you'll be whiter where you're shorts or bikini are ... if its that important to you .. find a private place to go naked or something :eek:

don't u notice how fake'n'bakers have more of an orangy, fakeish tan compared to people who are naturally tanned? i sure do. hehe
