What are good ways to get tan?

I'm so pale. Like my tan in the summer looks like most people's skin in the winter. I burn easily so I don't think a tanning bed will work. I hate it. Are there any good tanning lotions or like sprays that work really well and aren't hard to use? I don't want to look orange or fake at all. I just want a little, yet noticable tan. So an suggestions?

Go to the tanning salon, and get a spray on tan, it does not include the dangers of the harmful radiation, and also, it is quick, and easy. :] good luck.

u could get the mistic tan, at the tanning salons, but they dont last really long. I would suggest that tanning lotion that gradually makes you darker.

Yeah, mystic tanning gets you a tan in 15 minutes, but the bad thing about it is it only lasts about four days. I suggest the lotion too.

Use spray on tans.
The problem is they don't really last that long, so many sure to keep going back. Be sure to use some rub on tan stuff too so you don't need to go back as often.

if you're looking for a less expensive alternative to mystic tans... head to target or walmart and pick up sunless tanning wipes. they go on more evenly than spray tans or foams... and you can layer them more easily. take it easy at first...and when you start getting compliments then feel free to go darker. you want it to look natural... which means gradually building up to tan. you notice a change a few mins after applying. just make sure to wash your hands immediately after... and let your skin dry before dressing!

Go to a tanning salon...

lay outside, when you do use butter or baby oil to tan with...

also, you could tan outside and keep putting water all over ureself...it draws in the sun...

I do all of these everyday and im very dark constantly...

also, buy a moistureizer...I sugguest a product called hempz...its about 16 bucks and you can find it at just about any tanning salon...

if you tan in a salon, use a lotion with a lot of bronzers...I sugguest ALMOST FAMOUS...it ranges from 40-50 dolalrs, but it works amazingly...

also, before you tan...scrub in a circular motion in the shower with a lufa of some kind...it removes the dead skin, which makes ure skin easier to tan...

ALSO...I use tanning pills...Tanning Aid is a very good product...u can buy it for about 15.00 dollars...

im tannorexic what can I say...but I do all these all the time and im constantly dark...and I live in ohio!

FYI DO NOT GET A SPRAY ON! I've DONE MYSTIC TANS...THEY WORK FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS THEN FADE...BUT THE WORSE PART IS IF you TRY TO TAN OIN TOP OF IT EVEN OUTSIDE, OR AFTER ITS GONE...ITS HARDER TO GET TAN...

TANNING SALONS really arent bad fer u...just use them in moderation...I go everyday, but thats a different story...

hope I helped!

Read this in an article on webmd.com - I had read before that spray-tan was the safest:

True or False? Indoor Tanning Doesn't Cause Melanoma

False.

The indoor tanning industry contends otherwise, saying in some ads that the link is 'hype' and not proven.'There are a lot of studies out there and a lot of conflicting evidence about what causes melanoma,' says John Overstreet, the executive director of the Indoor Tanning Association in Washington, D.C., an industry trade group. 'There are many factors involved with melanoma skin cancer,' he says, adding that heredity is a major factor. For those with a family history of melanoma, he says, 'we would certainly advise you not to tan indoors.' 'You constantly hear indoor tanning causes melanoma,' he says. ''Causes' means, if you do it, you have [melanoma]. Many millions of people do this [indoor tanning] and don't get skin cancer.'
But researchers say that the link between ultraviolet exposure from the sun or tanning beds and melanoma is indisputable, counters David E. Fisher, MD, PhD, chairman of dermatology and director of the melanoma program at Massachusetts General Hospital at Harvard Medical School, Boston.'There is no question that ultraviolet exposure is associated with an increased risk of melanoma,' says Fisher, who is also the president of the Society for Melanoma Research. That group, along with the Melanoma Research Foundation, issued the strong anti-tanning statement. Fisher points to a study published in the International Journal of Cancer in March 2007 that reviewed 19 published studies on the association of tanning beds and skin cancers. They found use of the tanning beds before age 35 boosted the risk of melanoma by 75%. As for Overstreet's contention that most melanoma is associated with a family history, not so, says Fisher. 'The vast majority are what we call sporadic melanomas.'
'Most of the remaining risk factors [besides hereditary] are related to UV exposure,' he says, such as being fair-skinned, not tanning easily, being a redhead who freckles easily, and having a history of blistering childhood sunburns.
