Well when I wanted a base tan, I went for about 6-12 minutes (the tanning place increased it for me) and I went probably every other day or so. I had a good base tan in about two weeks.
I can't believe you go 20 minutes at a time. That would tan me so fast. lol If you're like me you should probably only need a few more at 20minutes and you'll be nice and golden.

I agree with Kails, I actually worked at a tanning salon and we had to be certified and trained on how melanin reacts to uv exposure and what a "tan" actually is. You don't need to go very long or every day to achieve a base tan. You might quickly turn orange if you are fair-skinned by going too long and too often.

two times a week at the tanningbed is enough to develope and keep a base tan.
