Getting a tan?

How do I get a really good tan? I get bored very easily, I will lie down for about 10 minutes then get bored. What can I put on my skin that will give me a tan quickly?

Mustard. You'll need to start waxing though. Everywhere.

What about baby oil? Or is that just a myth?

Gilly · 10 Apr 2006 at 11:59

Cooking oil. Preferably after you've used it to deep-fry some chips. Works wonders.

If you want to cook yourself ... go ahead !

Best off either MODERATELY using a sunbed or better still at your age use a good fake tan

The key is to be doing something while catching the sun (while remembering to regrease yourself regularly). I'm going to Lanzarote next week and I don't plan on sunbathing at all. There will be lots of swimming/beach football/bat & ball antics though, and without realising I will acquire an OK tan.
I'm looking forward to morning jogs the most though, been ages since I've been able to run in vest and shorts, never mind no top at all

Don't bother unless you want to prematurely age your skin and risk cancer.

Do remember the suncream too *has flashbacks to sunburn after the camping meet that made her look like an alien*

There's something unhealthy about the thought of greased up 16 years olds.

If you use baby oil and you burn your skin the tan wont stay, your skin will peel and you will be crying in pain. And to top it all off you will get wrinkly quicker and you will look old and saggy quicker then what you normally would.

To tan just go out in the sun for about 10-15 minutes each day and let the chemical that tans the skin do its course natrally and not all at once.

Just remember, Your a britt. Your suposed to be white and pasty

UVA rays are your best bet.
You can get them in deodorant type spray cans (& roll-on) from the chemists now without prescription. Boots & Superdrug might do them too, just pop in and ask

Spray tan is actually your best bet. A safe, all over tan in a couple of minutes.

Not true!
