I prefer self-tanning lotion. I prefer it not only because of the safety, but also because of the speed that you get the tan... It takes a few days if you use the gradual stuff. If you are going to use a tanning booth, use sun screen. I know you are like... "This guy is an idiot, I will never get a tan this way!" That isn't the whole truth; sunscreen lets in enough UV rays to get you tan, it just takes a little bit of time. It also allows for a more even, and less red tan, which you said you were having a problem with.
I'd use the fake tanner 3 for four times a month, and tan once a week, or every tan days. Trust me, I'm gay, and I'm tan. That makes me uberqualified.
Also, if you have really really white skin, of course just leave it! You can't get a good tan if you have really white skin. Change your wardrobe. A tan will just look fake and bad.

Why don't you just deep fry yourself in hot oil if you're that desperate for a tan. Imagine how a person would sound if they said "I want to lighten my skin. How many times a week should I bleach my skin to be pale?" Stop being a sheep and buying into the tanning trend. People are just making money from you, burning you up in tanning beds and having you slather on bronzing creams. It's ridiculous.

yeah, use one of the tanning lotions. start with a decent time that won't turn you red. even if its 5 minutes. Then go every day increasing the time as needed until you reach the desired tan. Don't force it by getting burnt everytime. Your skins pigment can only handle so much before you don't tan. If you go daily at a low time without burning your pigment will gain a resistence to burning quickly. it will be faster and painless if you do it this way. I might take up to two weeks to get your pigment use to it and then you can maintain it by going once or twice a week.

If you're gonna go to a salon to tan, go to one that has that new "spray-on tan" feature (most do nowadays). It generates the same results and is safe to use. :)
But you really should just be happy in your own skin. Don't let Hollywood and the media influence into thinking only tanned people are attractive and white-skinned are not so.

When you go out tan in sun, use TAN OIL. they're a little pricey, but it's easy safe and fast!
