Yes, baby oil will probably work. I don't see why it wouldn't because oil in general makes you darker. Most people get really dark on their T-zone (nose and forehead) because that's where the majority of oil is on their face.

Anyways, you really should NOT use baby oil because it has no sunscreen in it. It will get you dark, but won't protect you against harmful UV rays which will increase your risk of sun cancer. AND, because you have very fair skin, you are at a higher risk of getting skin cancer since you don't have as much melanin. People really don't take this skin cancer seriously because they don't see immediate results, but when you get older you'll really be sorry.

Instead of putting yourself at risk, have you tried self tanning sprays or lotions? There are so many of those products at meijer. there is also the kind that you put on daily and gradually build up a tan. Those are A LOT safer than burning yourself. Just be safe! But if you still want to go in the sun, there's a tanning lotion called Swedish beauty. I heard it works well.
