How do you get a tan fast?

Answer 1

This is the absolute best way to get a tan in less than a month! Obviously you have to go to the pool, lake, or ocean. Which ever you are closest to, put on sunscreen all over your body, so you don't get a sun burn, next put on tanning lotion, or get tanning lotion with sunscreen in it, you can get all three at a local drug store, then just lay in the sun for about an hour. Make sure you get your front and back, and for your back, undo the strap, because you don't want a silly line on your back, do you? You could either lay on your back and belly for 30mins. or an hour on each side.

Just don't go to a tanning bed because it doubles your chances of skin cancer. Please, read the following exert from a website about how harmful tanning at a tanning bed can be.

Here is an exert from the Cancer Research UK Website -

• Sunbeds aren't a safe alternative to tanning outdoors. Like the sun, sunbeds give out harmful UV rays which damage the DNA in our skin cells and can cause skin cancer.
• Sunbeds are estimated to cause around 100 deaths from melanoma every year in the UK.
• Using a sunbed once a month or more can increase your risk of skin cancer by more than half. So when the tan fades, the damage remains.
• Sunbeds also cause premature skin ageing, which means that your skin becomes coarse, leathery and wrinkled at a younger age.

Answer 2

if your talking about laying in the sun tanning? i suggest a thin layer or salt water on where you want to tan, this attracts the sun. 20 minutes in the sun everyday with no lotion also works, tanning in the sun should be done in bursts, 10 minutes in the sun, 10 minutes out of it, then another 10 minutes in the sun.. etc.
