ok this is my theory on tanning.
since the sun is mostly heat.
do u really need the sun light?
or can u just stay by ur heater to get tan?
is the uv rays what amps up ur melanin?
or is it the heat?

The sun emits UV rays, that is what causes you too tan, not the heat. A heater won't give you a tan lol. HTH : )

I get really heated up on this subject haha.
I dont mind if people tan in the sun but tanning beds are so bad for you. And no you cant get tan from a heater.. I wish it was possible ;)
My advice without the threat of getting skin cancer is the tanning lotions they are coming out with. I use a moisturizing one, it works wonders. Jergens. Check it out :)

yes you need sun light because of the UV rays and that is what stimulates the melonin in your skin to over secrete the brown color your looking for........so in the end no
