I would suggest Australian Gold, or Swedish Beauty. They have tan accelorators as well as after tanning lotion to heal, and soothe your skin from the damage. I tan all the time..and yes...I KNOW THE RISKS...just be sure to take care of your skin, keeping lotion on it, and things like that. ;)

If you must tan (since the sun is sooooo damaging to us )it should be done in stages-never use an oil before you have a base tan-first use a lotion with sunscreen in it for several weeks-then after you have a base tan and want to use oil-use it only for 10 minutes at a time and get the tan gradually-all that will ahppen if you use the oil first or stay too long is your skin is going to burn and then peel. They have so many self tanners out these days that work pretty good-they are safe and you can still have a tan without the danger of getting skin cancer

None. Do you want to get skin cancer and dry, leathery skin full of age spots? In this day and age with all the alternatives there is no excuse for using tanning oil. There are plenty of good fake tanning solutions from salon treatments to spray tans to tans in a bottle to gradual tan moisturizing lotion. Old-fashion tanning is not worth the health risks.

did you know that even if you tan.... skin cancer is on the rise by 65%. people who tan frequently are even more likely to develope melanoma. i used to go tanning all the time. till i found a freckle that wasnt a complete cirle.. it turned out to be nothin in the end. but i have to get checked all the time now. and im only 22!

i would suggest going with some lotion formulated for indoor tanning bed use, even for outdoor tanning...those lotions are 100x better than the regular outdoor tanning products...
