I have very pale skin, and I'd like to be a little tan for the spring and summer and shorts-skirts-bikini weather.
How safe are tanning beds and natural tanning, and what should you do to make it any safer?
And what is a good time to spend tanning to just get a light natural tan (in beds and outside)?
Thank you!

They are compeltely HORRID for your skin. they increase your chance of getting skin cancer upto 40%. Use a fake tanner. the best is SunSilk. It comes for lighter or medium skin tones. i saw a difference within 2 days of applying it. it's also a daily lotion. :)

- Dangers from the sun....skin cancer, and 90% of your skin's aging happens from the damage of the sun.
Best option is self-tanner and bronzers. Then sun block out in the natural light.
The one I use is Leg Apeel on the body and Secret Agent Tri-Color Bronzed Beauti for my face from BeautiControl. There is a self-tanner in the product line for the face as well. I just don't use it...but it is rated on sunless.com.Source(s):

Tanning occurs when the skin produces additional pigment (coloring) to protect itself against burn from ultraviolet rays. Overexposure to these rays can cause eye injury, premature wrinkling of the skin, and light-induced skin rashes, and can increase your chances of developing skin cancer. So the decision is yours just read this website and I hope it helps you!

I would suggest getting a tinted moisturizer...it's easier and WAY more inexspensive!!
And at the same time it IS good for your skin, by repairing and protecting it.
