Ok so i've actually been tanning for awhile and i know, i know, it's not good! if you want to get a good tan fast, use good tanning lotion (tingle stuff works best), and only go about 3 times a week, 20 minutes each, MAX! You also have to be careful, because if you over do it, your skin gets really dry, and YES, your skin will look like leather when you get older.
All in all, just go to a mystic tan a few days before homecoming. It's safer and is faster anyway.

Ok, first thing of tanning it happens gradually. Unless you fry yourself out the first time you go in. You said this is the third time you went, when I started tanning I increased my minutes by two or three each time I went. Make sure you USE lotion, it helps you tan and helps to keep your skin mositurized. I'm not sure about moving around in the tanner...to avoid side marks do a stand up tanner. Ask the tanning salonist about going into a high power bed the week of homecoming, these beds have higher intensty bulbs and they give you a deeper color. I wouldn't waste money on them until the last week though. Don't worry babe by the 30 you'll be bronzed and beautiful, just remember no one thinks fried leathery skin is hot. :)

Tanning beds are unsafe-plain and simple. You're underage to be going to one, to start with, and also, you're increasing your risk of skin cancer. Nicole Kidman and Marcia Cross look great with pale skin. Dare to be different-pale skin is the new cool, fake tans are so last year.

You are too young to be killing your skin with this. Stop going and accept being pale and healthy!
