Instead of tanning beds, try the mystic tan, which is basically the same, but it mists on. Its more healthy for your skin as well.

I think im going to try that this summer since Ive never ever tanned well from the natural sun, and the tan in a bottle stuff always makes me look a wierd orange shade.

^^^ No no no NO NO, to all of you!

Spray-on tans and "mystic" tans DO work, and they don't turn you orange anymore like they used to, but THE TAN YOU GET DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION WHATSOEVER FROM THE SUN!!!

A good base tan from a tanning bed will enable you to stay out in the sun for 2x or sometimes 4x as long as you normally would. Bronzers/spray-ons/mists do absolutely nothing, and you're actually more likely to get burned because you won't realize that you're burning, because the way those products interact with the chemicals in your skin can "hide" it.

If it's just for appearance purposes then go for the mist, 100%, but NOT if you're doing it to lie out in the sun. Don't get skin cancer, people!

well even if he gets a mist tan, he can put on a mild sunblock to go and lie in the sun

ya im the same way and then it goes away and its barely a colour....and then i go places and stand next to ppl who tan easily or who are very tanned and i look like casper so not fair!!! Hence why ill usually opt for a somewhat orange shade rather than pasty white!

I wish I could tan. No matter what, I burn. 30+spf and I still burn.

What the fuck.

I used to burn to.....until I started tanning in tanning beds before the summer....you build yourself a base tan, then it helps to minimize burning when in the sun.

Nothing like laying in a warm tanning bed on a crappy day to put you in a better mood

I always took being able to tan really easily for granted.

Mist tan is a good idea, just wear some sunblock when you go out to the real sun. The American Medical Association said that it's something like 10X more harmful to go to a tanning bed instead of sitting out in the sun.

I just love having a dark skin pigment (or whatever that's called), and the tan I got last summer in Europe still hasn't left me 100% ... WHOOO-HOOO!
