    Get a spray on tan at the tanning salon. There are also a lot of really good self tanning products out there. Don't forget your hands and feet!

    Hello,

    If your skin color is very pale, you have what is called delayed pigmentation, you need to start with a tanning salon. The tanning salon will guide you with which lotion to use and will help you get a base so you don't burn. Make sure when you contact the salon ask if they are Smart Tan Certified, as this will ensure that you are in a safe environment. You never want to burn that is what causes skin problems. Good Luck & Enjoy the Sun

  • Anywear were the sun is out or a tanning booth. But hunny the problems with those they cause skin cancer. It will give you wrinkles and moles early in life. If you are really pretty dont waste the pretty on wrinkles.

    Or the other way is spray on tans or you can put on lotion tan it works just the same. It may not look as natural.

    Follow my advice....

    There are self tanners that are not permanent that you can use to get a nice tan. The sun should be your last resort because of the harmful UV rays that can severly damage light skin. There are #1. Neutrogena Sunless tanning spray #2.Banana boat Sunless summer colorIstant bronzer and sunless tanning foam #3.Coppertone oil free sunless tanning lotion #4.Fake Bake self tanning mousse. Hope this helps!

    Honey, if you can't tan naturally then your best bet would be coppertone sunless tanner. I use it to even out tanlines, but I used it in the winter too. It works wonders. Just make sure you wash your hands immediatly after rubbing it in so your palms don't turn yellowish brown. The tan looks natural on your skin, but it looks weird when it gets on your hands.

    Uhh, tanning salon or lay in the sun by the pool or on the beach....and of course if you're old enough have a margarita!

    you can go some place where you can get tan or you can go lay down in the sun, but before you lay down you should probably put lotion on and then after go swimming so you don't get burn from the sun

    put beer (yes, beer) on your skin and slather all over your body like you do with lotions and sun bathe away! i guarantee you that it works!
