this is not a post about tanning to reduce appearance of acne. im actually mostly cleared again, i just figured this would be a good forum to post this question in, because i really dont know much about tanning.

i want to get a tan, on my face, because im a pretty white guy and i think a little darker would go a long way

anyway, i spend ALOT of time in the sun, because of marching band, but for some reason my face doesnt really get alot of sun, its probably because ive got long curly hair that sorta hangs down in front but my arms are turning a nice golden brown. but ive seriously never intentionally gotten a tan, usually i just get sunburned. the day my arms started getting darker was the day i sunburned my legs like crazy =/

so im wondering, if you guys and girls wanted to get a tan, how would you do it? use a specific sunscreen? spend a certain amount of time? i dont mind going in the backyard and sitting around or something, becuase clearly i cant just get tanned by going about my daily routines

Use a sunbed or better still one of the tanning booths that you walk into in just shorts or whatever every week. If you go to a tanning shop they will be able to tell you how long to spend in one of those booths and when to increase your time etc.

It can take quite a long time of being exposed in sunshine and using decent suncreen to actually start to get a really good tan naturally.
