I know you've heard this before, but don't go tanning. 15 minutes in a tanning bed is equal to 3 hours in the sun. Imagine what that does to your face.
There are really great tanning lotions now. You can get Dove's tinting lotion. It colors you in 1 use depending on the color you get, and by that I mean light skin or darker skin.
Here is the information I know about tanning beds:
you can buy individual sized tanning lotions at most places.So you don't have to spend $45 on lotion.
most places also give you little stickers to put over your eyes so you don't have to buy the googles.
you can go naked or slightly clothed.
I suggest covering your face with a washcloth or turning the part that hits your face off.
the people who work there will help you.
But you'll have to go a few times to get some good color. The lotions with self tanner in them work faster. And they don't cause and sunspots, cancer, or wrinkles.
Hope that helped.

Cost varies depending on whether you go unlimited tanning, or buy a certain amount of minutes. If you only want to go for the time preceeding your event, don't get roped into buying a months worth of minutes. Call a couple different salons, and if you have to tell them "so and so was willing to offer me whatever" usually they'll negogiate with you.
You should wear tanning lotion, but don't buy the stuff to wear out in the sun, they apparently crack the beds. They will try to sell you some at the salon, but it's generally expensive (I bought the cheapest brand for $45). You can get tanning lotion made specifically for tanning beds at walmart or a drug store- it's with the sunscreen.
I'd recomend goggles, they're just little and go right over your eyes. Mine were $5 I think.
