How long does it take to go from white legs to tan legs i almost start school and i will be wearing shorts?

Question

i have been in the sun with soccer socks on and my legs are white now. i want then to be tan for p.e. in school when i have to wear shorts

how many hours do i say in the sun for? do i do it everyday?

do i need sunscreen? help!

Answer 1

I'm white (racially speaking) but I tan really easily and I kind of wish I was a little lighter because when I spend a lot of time in the sun I turn orange. But you can just spend 30 min-1hour in direct sun a day without sunscreen. If you want extended periods of sun exposure, use a sunscreen with a low SPF like 8 or 10.

Answer 2

you should use sunscreen to protect yourself from a burn.

being outside every day for at least an hour should be good.

i can't guarantee you will get a tan before school starts.

what i do is go into a tanning bed and use a bronzer once a week and my tan i noticeable each time.

what i would recommend for you is just being outside as much as possible. use a sunscreen on your face and everywhere you don't want too much sun, and reapply it every half hour.

good luck!

Answer 3

Instead Of Going Out Into The Sun And Getting Burnt, How About Use Like A Moisturiser That Gradually Builds Into A Tan?

It's Better For Your Skin And You'll STILL Get A Natural Looking Tan!

Also .. You're Legs Will Be Softer/Smoother.

go sit outside and tan yourself. 1 hour a day, no sunscreen.

Answer 5

ur a guy, no one cares what your legs look like, specially when people are doing other things in gym.  

Answer 6

You could be "all better" in a week if you wear flip flops instead of socks and shoes...layout for 30  minutes everyday for a week....maybe less depending on your skin.
