How can I get a great tan before vacation?

Executive Tans are a big chain and they are pretty cheap. If not, just start laying out in the sun wearing what you will be wearing on vacation!

Even if you to acquire a great tan before you go—still wear TONS of high SPF sunblock because it sucks burning when you are on vacation. And get a white linen tunic to put over your swimsuit or whatever after you’ve been in the sun for a while. It will prevent burning great!

I would do it in small periods, if you want start w/ 20 mins on each side then increase it everyday by like 10mins. on each sides. But make sure you still wear sunscreen, it will not stop you from getting a tan. Use tanning lotion and rub it in really well, so you dont get orange spots. Lay out anytime there is sun and when you get hot, go inside to cool off, or go in the water if you are at a beach or if you have a pool. You get tanner if you are wet. Have Fun

Getting a tan has its dangers, including sunburn, premature wrinkling, skin discoloration, sun sensitivity, immune system suppression, eye damage, and skin cancer. UV radiation - while ok in smaller doses - can be dangerous and even fatal when humans spend too much time in it. Because of this, various ways (relatively safe) of getting a tan have developed.

Traditional tanning in the sun - in small increments (limited time) with sunscreen Tanning in tanning beds - in a controlled amount of time and with proper eyewear Self-tanning lotions - used to color skin for a week or more Airbrush tanning - in a booth where a machine or professional can apply the temporary tan

The key to getting a tan is choosing the method that works best for you and attempting to be as safe with it as you can be. Also, you can choose to eat and use foods that are known for helping your body tan, keeping it healthy, and otherwise being of assistance in getting a tan.

For you since you’re so white, probably the best is limited time in the sun using a strong/protective sunscreen - have a great Summer !!
