Forget the self tanner. Tanning beds are more dangerous than the sun!! You have to change your mindset. Channel your inner Nicole Kidman and be a porcelain goddess!
Being sun smart, you will avoid cancers and such. An added bonus is that you will be very happy when you hit your late 20's early 30's that you will have beautiful smooth, undamaged skin. All of your 'friends' that pressured you to tan or made themselves feel tan around you will begin to show their age and weathering. (You will laugh last when they begin to look like your old beat-up leather belts, shoes, etc.) Enjoy your natural hair color too- many people pay big bucks to go red. Make sure you wear SPF 30+ EVERY day- even in the winter. You only get one skin and it must last you until your 80 something. Some safer cheats to looking 'well' without a tan are whitening your teeth or getting your eye lashes tinted (which is really nice on very fair complected people). See a reputable dentist for bleaching and an exam, to be sure that you have no cavities or broken down fillings (Crest white strips work too and are cheaper) and an esthetician at a spa/salon. Rather than spending money on tanning- splurge on skin care products!

Why tan? Honestly the beauty of a redhead is the fair skin and freckles. Very hott. If you try to tan, you are going to ruin your shin cause you are like a solar panel with that skin. Learn to realize that your skin will either be fair or fake. Go natural, lots of guys find that beautiful!!! Remember the term "powder one's nose?" it's cause women used to powder to get the fair skin you have. Try some subtle face makeup and get just enough sun that you dont turn clear. Good luck!

Tanning lotion would be your best bet. Laying in a tanning bed for 10 min, is like laying in the sun for 4 hours. Tanning beds make it easier to get skin cancer. But from a guys point of view, I think the sexy redheads have to have pale skin, it just adds to the look! :)

sunless tans. try lotions. tanning beds are worse then the sun. 30 minutes in a tanning bed is the same as 8 hours in the sun
