Asking for tanning tips (all methods, advices, products, etc. welcomed)

[ferrero]

What's up guys, title says it all. I caught a brief look at myself in the mirror post-wash and man, I'm very noticeably lacking color.

From your experience, what do you think: are beds the way to go? What about sunless tanners, such as oils or bronzers?

Keep in mind, I'm looking for just a touch of added color, not for a celebrity tan or the bodybuilder pre-show look.

All opinions or comments welcome

Thanks

Oh I’m super white all year round lol

But in summer I just spend 30 minutes outside: 15 minutes facing the sun, 15 mins for my back and that’s all, no oils, no bronzers, nada. You can make it 40 minutes if you want. I do it almost at noon but not exactly 12pm because I don’t wanna get sunburns or cancer.

I repeat every time I feel like I need more tanning and that’s all.

If you are looking for oils then get the ones that don’t paint. Sunless tanners are too artificial IMO, but there are some oils that help your skin absorb sunlight faster. Just be careful to spread the oils evenly on your face / body, or you’ll get those white patches that look bad

I never did beds but if even natural sunlight can be bad for your health, i don’t even wanna know the side effects of beds. Plus I saw final destination and it ruined beds for me

Same.

As far as your sun-tanning rec: I do pretty much the same thing in the spring-summer. Was just looking for any other ideas, that's all.

Read up a bit on oils and bronzers and saw they require reapplication every 4-10 days, if not more frequently. Not willing to deal with that kind of upkeep tbh

Think I'll stick with the natural method thanks for the input @Gaturro

Don't remind me bro!

same reason I can never go for a spray tan - ross from friends traumatized me

Interesting. Not a fan of needles, but thanks for the suggestion.
