All of my friends are at the beach now without me, again (for the 3rd year in a row because I'm grounded again). I want to look good when they get back, as in I want a really nice tan. What is the best way to get a tan? I don't want tanning spray and lotions unless they're really good and look natural. Just how do I get a good tan in a week? And will it look natural or can that not be possible?
1. apply a tanning lotion and sit out in the sun (i suggest banana boat ultramist continuous spray suncreen deep tanning oil, it has spf in it so it'll actually protect you from the sun while making you tan)!
2. go to the local tanning beds which will pretty much tan you instantly.
3. self tanner (i suggest jergen's natural glow, it'll show results in 3 days.
Melody answered Thursday June 4 2009, 10:57 pm: The best way to get tan is to lay in the natural sun. It takes weeks for most people to see results from laying in the tanning bed. It would be impossible for you to get any noticeably tanner just from laying in a bed for a week. So definitely lay out in the sun.
Get your Ipod, sunglasses, bikini, and beach towel and just go lay in the sun. Just be sure not to over-do it. You don't want to burn, because that won't be attractive at all.
Keep your skin very moisturized by using plenty of lotion. The more hydrated your skin is, the tanner it will appear. You should also try Juergen's Natural Glow lotion. It won't give you a hugely noticeable difference, but it will certainly help, & it look very natural. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]

as much as it is bad maybe you should try a tanning salon go one day every week a level 1 for 10 min and you will have a perfect tan within weeks [ Ch00seMe12's advice column | Ask Ch00seMe12 A Question ]

Make sure to put on a bit of sunscreen, to protect against harmful cancerous rays. Also, a good way to attract the sun is with water, so take a spray can of cool water and give yourself a few sprays every 10 minutes or so, or as soon as the previous sprays have dried up from the sun. A good hour and a half to two hours is plenty of time for each day. Make sure to do this each day, in order to layer your tans and have a sun-kissed glow! (::
