I just bought some new shorts and skirts and stuff today...and well I need a tan. My legs are too white. So when I got home I layed (sp?) outside by my pool for 20 minutes...(10 and then flip and then 10 more) is that too long to be outside to tan (i burn easy) or should I stay out longer? How long will it take me to start showing a tan if I do 20 minutes a day? O...And I get bored easy...what are some ways to keep myself from getting bored, giving up, and going inside?

why dont you just get a spray tan, they cost about AU$50. Better than skin cancer darling.

fake tan? you can get the modelco airbrush in a can thingy, they are not expensive

you could fake and bake if you wanted but that costs money. personally I don't care for that. If you're like me and burn easily I really would just stay indoors, but if you insist on tanning maybe try reading a book, turn on some music or both to keep you entertained while out frying.

not sure about the US, but here in aus, the sun freakin burns in summer.

fakes r definately better for your skin, but they dont last long, and they cost money..

if you wanna get the real deal, slather on a whole heap of sunscreen, like half the bottle. cover ALL your skin in a good layer of the stuff. then lie in the sun for as long as you can bear. ie, as soon as you feel like ur skin is burning, turn over, then the same. then stop.

i dont know about you, but i have to spend a good 6 hours at the beach in australia to get tanned after so much sunscreen. but of course undiseased skin is a priority over a tan.

Try faking it.its much better for u and u can stil have a tan in the winter.if u insist on tanning in the sun then remember to use sun screen factor 15 at least.dont go in the sun 4 more than 20mins between 12-2pm and 4omins the rest of the day.use an i pod or portable radio to listen to sum music,take a mag or book out,mab even nail polish to keep u busy.xxxx :)

Actually I've heard that about an hour and a half of sun a week can help prevent some degenerative disease (I forget what), however, some sunscreen, even SPF 15 should always be used. Do NOT go to a tanning bed, you're twice as likely to get skin cancer from those than from the sun. If you have a hard time staying out the sun for very long take something out to read or listen to, or go out with a friend and just talk.

tox-i mean no afence but i defo wudnt recomend spendin up2 6 hours in the sun however much sunscreen your wearing.if ya need any advice on fashion beauty ect go 2 my fashion,beauty/fitness-i can help thread luvya al xxxxx

u should stay out on the sun for bout an hour each day but put sun screen on aswell

dont stay out in the sun just to tan!!! you're going to get skin cancer!!! use a sunless tanner...i even did some research for you! Coppertone Oil Free Sunless Tanning Lotion in Light/Medium is around $9 and has 4 1/2 star review from 11 people...it's supposed 2 b really good for fair skin and doesnt turn orange.....Coppertone Endless Summer Sunless Tanning Lotion in light/medium has 5 stars from 4 people who all LOVE it...it doesn't make you turn orange either, and it's $12.....all of the others (neutrogina, loreal, etc.) have like 2 stars and aren't very good...i definatly reccomend coppertone....but please please PLEASE don't fry yourself and get skin cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
