if you want a really nice tan you have to be prepared to work at it,
The first time you go in the sun not more the ten mins.
Come in and right away take a cool bath to cool down the skin fast, then wait another twenty mins,
Go back out, and repeat the process this time staying out twenty mins
Do this a few times the first day. then you should be able to stay as long as you want without burning.
Enjoy your summer

OK u should start off going to a tanning salon its the best way to get a dark tan with minim burning. usually it takes a normal person 4-6 weeks to get a dark tan, go two days in a row then skip a day and do this 4 the first 2 weeks. also i suggest using a tingle and a bronzer lotion for the best results

while tanning is fun and seems to be a popular thing to do, it is seriously hazardous to your heath. Not only can you get skin cancer later in life, you can get spots on your skin as well as more wrinkles, wrinkles that could have been prevented by not tanning.... and is that really attractive? if you still are going to go tanning or if you plan to be out in the sun, i would recommend you to wear sunscreen, and also, it is actually worse to go tanning in a tanning bed than outside because of all of the risks with UV rays and everything. While you may think that tanning is a good idea now, you may truly regret it later.

A tanning salon is faster, easier and you can control how much UV Rays you are getting. Use a good lotion, such as Spellbound by Designer Skin, use a very good after tan moisturizer such as Total Immersion by Cal Tan and make sure you drink lots and lots of water to keep your body hydrated!

I've always had luck with tanning accelerators. Just apply all over your body every day for 3 days prior to tanning.

For more detailed info on sunbathing see "fat loss tips" on below site. After sunbathing wash off the cancer causing chemicals you sweated out. At first do only enough to get a mild, slight sunburn. In Northern Hemisphere the brightest day is June 21.
Miday sun is the strongest. To see how bright the sunlight is, measure the shadow of something compared to the object. The smaller the shadow, the brighter the sunlight. Put nothing on your skin while sunbathing. The closer to the equater, the brighter it is but you can sunbathe anywhere. The popular myth now is that sunlight is bad for you.
