Hi, im new to this whole "tanning" thing - in fact i never even considered it because i have dark skin, here is my problem however:
My face and forearms are MUCH darker than my upper arm, legs and upper body. I don't wear sleeveless tops nor do I go to the beach often.
How do I make my tan "even"? If I try to tan, sure the rest of my body will darken up, but wouldn't my face and forearms also get darker with the rest of my body- making what i did pointless? Also if i try to "fake tan" the lighter parts of my body before I get a real tan (so my two skin colours don't look disgusting at the beach), will I still get a real tan over the fake tan?
Please help, I'm very confused. Thank you.

More important than trying to tan the rest of your body. I would recommend a sun screen pf 30 or above. This will not help you tan it will help protect you against the cancer causing rays of the sun. You really don't want to die a young age due to skin cancer. Tanning booths are just a concentrated way of making sure that you are exposing your skin to these type of damaging rays.
If you use, the sun screen on your forearms and face, eventually they will heal and get lighter. Therefore, they will match the rest of your body.

Try putting sunscreen on the parts where you are darker. If you don't go to the beach like me, then go to a solarium it does wonders! There are tanning accelerators which make you tan faster.
