Ok so if you are as pale as i think you are then first try a SPF30 and gradually lower. if you get burnt make sure to wear aloe it will help. A natural tan requires sunlight! You might want to buy a Dry Tanning Oil those work the best because you don't feel too oily i hate that feeling to death! i hate sunburns too but hey everyone gets them! and after a sun burn you get super tanner. Be careful with oyur face though that will get the most burned. And if u have a peachy skin tone DO NOT use spray tans!
GET TAN,

I dont know if this is just a day trip or if its a long period of time. If its a day trip go with a tan lotion lay out for 20 mins, then put on the sunscreen, then after awhile re aply tan lotion and continue.

I'd advise you start by just tanning for like, fifteen minutes [7 on one side, 8 on another] for a couple times during the day, and then in a day or two, stay out 10 or so one each side.

they just burn. [ jilliansgotyoback's advice column | Ask jilliansgotyoback A Question ]
