Answer:
You sit in the sun for about 2-3-4 hours.
No! Do not sit in the sun for that long. You could get dehydrated and get sun poisioning! Use tanning lotion is the way i find most easiest OR go to a tanning bed.
Agreed, don't sit in the sun for that long- though is there even such a thing as sun poisoning?. Personally I prefer pale skin, but each to their own. If you can get a tan, sit in the sun for a little while, but drink enough water and wear sunscreen. A lot of people think this stops you from getting a tan, but it doesn't; it helps protect your skin while you get a tan. If you find getting a tan hard, you might have to get a fake tan. A tanning bed will not help if you can't get a tan normally, it will only further damage your skin.
