Yes, tanning beds are bad for you but it's your decision and going once or twice probably wouldn't kill you. And I believe that spray tans won't work because what you actually need is the UV Rays.
One website says ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)):
One dose of ultraviolet light can stop itching and shorten the course of pityriasis. Have your youngster sunbathe for 30 minutes (enough to make the skin pink). Do this only once. If this is impossible, use a sun lamp or consider a tanning salon. CAUTION: Avoid sunburn.
Another one says ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)):
Occasionally sun exposure or a tanning bed is suggested on a limited basis, although caution should be used because of the increased risk of skin cancer from sun damage.
So as long as you don't go constantly and go every once in a while, you should be ok.
