I want to be tan for the end of May which is my Prom! I've never used a tanning bed before....?

So I don't know how long it will take me to get a nice, all over tan. In the summer, it usually takes me forever to get a tan if I'm lucky because I usually burn. I have blonde hair and fair skin. Help!

I think that if you use the tanning spray it is much easier.Tanning beds are a waste of money.I had a friend once who used a tanning bed and it hardly ever worked on her.Also tanning lotions are a great choice.You won't be able to get a tan outside because the sun will hardly come out and be warm enough to take a tan.

tanning beds are bad for you anyway... go get a spray tan. its fast and easy, and no aging effects OR sunburn!

You should go for the spray tan. It isn't cheap, but no more than many tanning sessions in a bed. It is much better for your skin. I did it for a cruise I went on and it lasted the whole time. I am really pale and have blonde hair too. I recommend it! Wait till a day or so before prom though.

ive never tanned in a tanning bed before either but if you decide not to, Jergens Natural Glow is just a lotion you apply every night and within a week or so( they have different levels of darkness you can buy), your tan and it looks real, not orange. Its also cheap, like $6 i think. I used it for my prom and i got lots of compliments :]

I have blonde hair and fair skin too.

The first time I wen tot a tanning bed, I burnt really bad, to the point where I couldnt sleep at night, and i could not wear a bra.

I went in for 6 minutes.

If you go, I suggest three minutes, but go once a week, or once every two weeks.

It depends on if you burn, on how often you should go.

If you burn, i'd say go once every two weeks.

And get a lotion that has a bronzer in it.

If you start tanning on February first, and tan once a week, you will be very dark by may, so I suggest, reduce your tanning, and go once every other week in February, then if that worked good, alter your times in March and April.

honeslty the fastest tan is spray, the lotions take a while and if ur scared to burn then beds arent good when u spray if u do it right u get an even tan and it looks good and realll. its about 10.00

If you go to a tanning place they should tell you since your a fair color to go on a low level and to use lotion that they sell to make sure you dont burn. You can always move up a level and make your time longer but the 1st time in you should always do the least amount and not everyday! try maybe once a week to get your skin used to the tanning bed and then go from there dont do too much too fast :) Plus too dark can make you look really old and I dont think for Prom you want to look 30 LOL :P

Your skin type and hair color indicate you are prone to burning like you said. If you want to go to the tanning bed I would reccommend you start out slow, lay no longer then 5 minutes a day, less depending on the strenght of the bulbs in the bed. As the tanning bed personnel to how long ago they changed to bulbs and request a bed that doesn't have new bulbs to begin. New bulbs will leave you even more prone to burning. If you begin to feel like you are burning lay off the bed for a few days, and make sure to use lotions not aloe. Aloe will dry the skin out often making burning worse.

Other alternatives include spray on tans and jergens natural lotions. Spray on tanning can give you a nice boost right before prom but make sure you go to a place that is reccommended because some places have poor machines that can spray unevenly causing you to look orange. Jergens Natural Glow lotion is a great way to build a natural looking tan, I use it after showering and using the tanning bed.

Have a spray tan or mystic tan done.
