How long does it take to tan?

Question

im going back to school and im really light like im not even barley tan so when i go back i don't want to be the only person with no tan lol i might also dye my hair again i want to look good so how long do u think i would have to tan for?

Answer 1

What I use to speed up my tan and keep from burning is to mix 50% baby oil and 50% Cocoa Butter. Works like a charm. I spend three hours on the river and my tan is double what it is if i did not apply the mix. Try is works great!  

Answer 2

depends on you. im like super pale but whne i lay in the sun for like 15 mins i already get a small tanline.

Answer 3

dont tan to long its not good for your skin.

but i would say an hour a day would be good.

Answer 4

if you're planning on using a tanning bed, go every day and work your way up from 6 minutes to the maximum. increase your time by one minute every day. by doing this you will get the best results and you probably won't burn. you dont want to burn bc then you will peel and have to start all over again. hope this helps! good luck!

Answer 5

Answer 7

Two years 25 days 3 hours 2 minutes and 7 seconds.

..Don't worry about it youll just be pale again in winter.

Answer 8

Wear sunscreen. Just tan for no more than an hour a day. And I advise you to think of how your skin will look from sun exposure after 20 years? I don't think tanning is worth it.

Fake bake if your that desperate.

Answer 9

XXXFoxy,It depends on how warm it is outside and whether the sun is at it's closest.  Even though you want to get this tan,I'd just take precaution.  Someone here had stated that an hour should be enough.  It also depends on how long your skin will look with this tan.  Sometimes a tan can fade quite quickly.  Or there is times where they may last a week or so.  Trust me,Hon.  You won't be the only person without a tan.  Too much sun can also damage your skin and make it rough,dry,And feel like leather.  XXXFoxy,You don't want that.  You want skin that will feel so smooth,So soft.  The skin that will feel as smooth as a baby's bottom.  You can apply some suntan lotion and go out in the sun so you won't burn.  I hope this answer pleases you.  If not,I'd like to beg and plead for forgiveness here.  I must split.  You have a goodnight and God bless.  Bye for now.
