Tanning

[NickB]

Laying out in the sun does nothing for me. Been doing it for a while I really haven't seen much change.

I've heard that if you use baby oil while tanning it helps you get darker , faster. Is that true? Or should I just use a tanning oil or perhaps a booth? I want to get darker :\

Hmm baby oil is interesting. Havnt heard that one before. A while back when I was real into tanning and all that (for no apparent reason) I used to buy the bronzer's that tanning places sell. They used to work great for getting me real dark. Might want to give them a shot.

Baby oil is old school! I used to mix iodine in it! It will burn you though if you don't already have dark skin!

has anyone tried those instant bronze products by neutrogena and those other companies?i think they rub off your clothes during intense workouts and make nasty stains

From a seasoned veteran tanner i recommend if you tan outside mostly, get a oil based sunscreen of like 4-6 and that will help. If you use beds, get a tanner made for inside tanning. Don't take a outside tanner into a bed!!!

My girlfriend uses a self-tanner by Mary Kay and loves it!

Never, Never, Never use baby oil!!! Bad stuff to try and get a tan with!!!

I to have been in search of the ultimate tan. If you are looking for a self-tanner Nutragenia bronzing foam works well, but go with the very deep color. It lasts about 3 or so days and doesnt seem to come off during workouts. Hope that helps.

You can see how tan you will get by the color of your hair. If you have dark hair then you will tan darker and if you have blond or lighter hair you will not tan as much. (go by natural color) all those products will help you tan faster but the pigment in your skin can only get so dark. And remember too much taning will lead to skin cancer.
