get Jergen's natural glow..it's a lotion that gradually makes you tan after 3 weeks.

I would second using a bronzing powder blush as opposed to putting your health including cancer and skin appearance at risk. Sunbeds can actually be more dangerous than the natural sun since sunbeds have the uvb (ultraviolet, sorry can't remember what the 'b' stands for ;) rays. I had done a paper on skin cancer many years ago and recall that info being in my report about sun/tanning beds. Melanoma is a very serious form of skin cancer and can spread rather quickly. It's best to not possibly hasten one getting that type of disease if having a choice to use tanning machines or not.

How well you tan is a matter of genetics. If you are not tanning well then you are at a higher risk of cancer from UV exposure and should be extremely careful.
I would have thought you would be much better off using a fake tan if you want quick results.

try not use tanning beds. i know it's a quick fix but really it's not very good for u! try to use a self tanner such as jergens natural glow. u put it on everyday and your tan will gradually build up. i like it because it doesn't smell bad and the tan looks pretty natural. give it a try!

Don't bother, unless you really like the idea of skin cancer. It's not worth the risk. Just use a fake tan. If its a good one nobody will know the difference.

i have a tanning bed at home and i get tan really easily;; a good idea would be to put bronzer lotion on and stay in for about 15 minutes on your stomache. it might burn but it quickly goes away if you put regular lotion or lotion with aloe in it; and you will get darker. my friend is really pale before the summer and she puts on bronzer and gets a nice tan.
hope i helped =].. and do activites outside.
