Tanning booths do not turn you orange, because they are closer to natural tanning, and your salon should have a test spray tan for first timers. They spray an area of your body which is not noticeable, but not dangerous for you, like your wrist or maybe the inside of your thigh. You can get a variety of colors with spray tanning, and it doesn't leave stripes or spots on your skin afterwards. If you like the color from the test, you can get full body spray tans in that color.

At the tanning place they will try to sell you a "bronzing lotion" if your pale, then you dont want this, your skin will turn out uneven with brownish orange splotches all over, Get a level one lotion W/ NO BRONZER or NIACIN, tell them you just want a level 1 lotion, And only go in the bed for about 5 minutes and do this about 2-3 times a week and eventually up your minutes, you will have a very natural look in about 3 weeks.

if you are fair skinned, only tan for a few minutes (like 5 or 6) talk to the person who works there and ask what he or she suggests. Sometimes they have new bulbs in the beds, and you will need to adjust your time accordingly. If you go for 6 minutes once a week for two or three weeks you can safely build a base tan.
I go once a week, and I usually will cover my face with a towel or my shirt for the first few minutes I am in the bed, that way you get the max time on the rest of your body without over exposing your face.
Also, don't use tanning lotion on your face if you break out.

You have to start out gradually and make sure you buy a decent lotion. You get what you pay for.
