i'm going to start tanning at a tanning salon soon. i don't want a tan that's way too dark, but i definitely want it to be noticeable. my skin is not pale; it's the skin color that most caucasians have.
i'm going to be smart and wear spray-on sunscreen. if i want to get a noticeable tan while staying safe, what SPF should my sunscreen be? i don't want it to be too low (that would be unhealthy for my skin), so please help. :] (link)

Not to be mean or anything, but ALL tanning is bad for your skin, and tanning booth tanning is actually worse for you than sitting out in the sun, even if you're wearing sunscreen. Just to give you an example, my boss tans ALL winter long, and her skind looks absolutely horrible - she's in her late 30's, but she has leathery skin & enough wrinkles that it makes her look like she's in her 50's. But you could try wearing spf 15, that's what I wear all summer long when I'm out on the lake or in the sun riding my horse.
