I'm trying to get a tan.

[TheWriter]

My body is white, ugly white. Anywayz, I want a tan, I hate the whole lower arms being browner than anything past your elbow, it looks to redneckish. So which is the best way? Laying out in the sun or using those tan booths?

Or, if you'd like to not look older than your age in 20 years, try the spray-on.

more time outside and less time on the computer works too. or try taking ur laptop outside

I spend 2-3 hours max on the puter during the week, weekends are different, esp. at night.

I play ball and run a lot which is why my the lower part of my arms are tanned while the rest of me is white.

I worked one summer as a lifeguard and got a fairly good tan, but then I was white again. Weird .

I'll try tan oils.

If I use sun block on my face I really have nothing to worry about facewise.

[TheWriter]

i hear this way is safer than the UV lights. ive never got a fake one before but have thought about it

Aren't direct sun tanning and tanning booths the same? All UV light.

[TheWriter]

Do u want ur chest tan? or just ur face, legs, and arms? wear the oil when u play ball outside

Just torso, shoulders, and back.

This is what I use and would recommend. The girls love how it smells too:

It probably smells like every single other tanning oil in the free world.

Also, where's the money Lebowski.

[TheDude]

Um.. not sure the exact name.. All I know is that its in a tube, you know like a tube that stands on its top. The bottle is white at the end and gets darker towards the top. Hope that helps.

I would seriously recommend going to a tanning salon and getting a sprayed-on tan.

#1. You don't burn, making yourself more suseptible to skin cancer.
#2. It's instant, it doesn't take days of baking to get the shade you want.
#3. It's an even, all-over tan. (well, depending on how naked you want to get)
#4. You won't look 10 years older by the time you're in your 30's, at least not from sun damage.


My $.02.

The only safe tan is a spray on/out of the bottle tan. You'd think that after all these years of the media and dermotolgists saying it, that it would have sunk in by now.

When I lived in CA, I used to live at the tanning salon and the beach and never wore any SPF and I regret that. Just because you don't burn doesn't mean you can't get skin cancer and sun damage.

My husband never goes out in the sun. About 12 years ago, he had this small mole under his eye. It slowly grew and a few years ago he decided to get it removed. Turns out it was the easiest to cure form of skin cancer. So don't fool yourself thinking that because you don't burn it can't happen to you.

My kids are very fair. I've used Bullfrog (spf 35) all summer long on them when they go to the pool and they haven't burned once and have a nice color.
