Answer 1

I dont know how muchh tanning lotion will help you but try a spray tan =) and keep getting them done that works for fair skin

Answer 2

you will need to sit in the sun for more than an hour!

& fake tan is probably the way to go, some people tan well and some just naturally don't.

hope this helps (:

Answer 3

Tanning lotions (not self tanners) all have SPF protection - which prevents or slows tanning.  1 hour in the sun will bearly get you pinkish.  The vegetable oil only magnifies the sun as any oil product does - it doesn't tan you instantly or in less time. Your skin needs gradual tanning (when done in the sun).  Use a self tanner like Jergens Natural Glow - 3 days you'll see a tanner skin.  Great for legs (cause mine don't tan very good either).  I love this stuff.  It is natural looking and you can use it 1 time per day and it will gradually tan your "white" skin.  

1 hour in the sun you won't see any difference ~ tanning is a long term process (especially if you want to prevent sun burn and skin cancer).

Good luck with the tanning.

Answer 4

Just use the fake n bake stuff.

L'OREAL Sublime Bronze is really good. There's no streaking or anything and looks really natural.

Plus with natural tanning it takes a while for your tan to show.
