I have sensative skin but I want to get tanner. I can't go to a tanning bed because I know my skin couldn't handle it and I don't want to get a fake tanner and have to deal with rubbing it in. So how long should i stay out in the sun and what should I use to tan with, like baby oil or suntan lotion. Also if you know a good self tanner that doesn't require much rubbing in, what is it? Thanks in advance!

if you want to tan naturally, wear like 50SPF and tan for like 1 hour or less everyday. develop a routine but ALWAYS wear sunscreen.
hope i helped! [ luckycharm's advice column | Ask luckycharm A Question ]

Take a picture of yourself in a room with no windows, door closed (so basically it would be pitch black if the lights were off), with the lights on. One before you start, one after a week or two of doing this maybe once or twice a day (dunno if you have time to do it more often) to see if you notice any difference.
If you burn, you should end up tanning still, just if you burn, you shouldn't go back into the sun until it heals.
