What is the safest/easiest way to get a good tan?

Question:

Answers:
The only safe method of tanning is fake tanning, using chemicals or dyes to temporarily color the skin. Fortunately, there are many great products out on the market now. If you are especially fair, make sure you choose a product designed for fair/light skin; this will prevent you from looking like an Oompah-Loompah. Tanning beds use UVA rays, which do promote aging of the skin, so do not believe the hype about them. The sun has UVA, UVB, and UVC rays, which promotes aging, burning, and cancer, so do not tan in the sun if you can avoid it.

L'oreal sublime -$8 bucks walmart looks great! I'd say the spray on tanning booths, really have to watch out for orange color though.

fake taanning cream.i have skin cancer so i should know better

tanning beds, if used carefully can actually be good for you. For those who never get sunshine it's bad too. medium to low sun block, then add sun oil..

All tans are safe. The skin darkens to help the body block the UV rays which will cause damage.
.Please no chemicals.None. They are worse.
..Sun block is a scam. Numbers cannot go over 30 but that does not stop the advertisers. They can lie soo well. "Here just light up this non-filtered Lucky Strike" and you will be the talk of the town and the opposite sex is going wild for you. Because you smoke. The same thing is done for sun blocks. Make you look desirable!

In the US Virgin Islands we have a saying for new white skinned tourists for their first day in the sun. '20 minutes a side'. In other words do it slow and avoid the sun on your skin between noon and 2pm. Locals in Mexico call this a siesta. In the islands we call it 'limin'.

Once you build a base you can spend more and more time under the sun as your skin has a tolerance sort of. It will not burn as easily. As you get closer to the equator the potential damage increases.

Enjoy the sun, it is a source of good health, grows our food, and helps the trees make the oxygen we breath. Oh ya .it keeps us warm too. Get it out of the bottle. There is no safe suntan with the sun are tanning bed. Suntan is only skin damage.
