Lucky guy! However, if he still wants to get a darker color I would suggest testing a mousse self-tanner on a hidden part of the body since those give you an immediate result. This way he’ll be able to go as dark as he wants without having to wait too long. Nichole- You may want to try St. Tropez Whipped Mousse or as Jessica suggested, Jergens Natural Glow. As I mentioned to Lauren, test the product somewhere that won’t be easily visible before applying all over. Mousse and towelettes give more even coverage so this may be what you’re looking for! Tanning beds are still risky and sometimes more so than the sun; if you insist on tanning beds be sure to monitor your body for any suspicious moles. Your health is much more important than a fading tan. Lauren- He’s already dark? Lucky guy!

But I got tired of getting burned, nothing is worse than a sunburn, in this case a light bulb burn. My sister-in-law turned me on to a self-tanning lotion called, Jergens Natural Glow. I can not say enough about it. I love it! You apply it after showering and wait about 10 minutes before putting your clothes on. It has a really pleasant smell and also comes with a firming element, what girl doesn't want that extra boost! It started working after about 3-4 applications, the name says it all, it gives a natural glow!! Anyways, go out and get this asap! I also was an avid pre-summer tanning bed goer.

Last time I used a self tanner I turned pretty much orange. Is there a certain self tanner that I could try that wont make me look fake?

Is only using the bed every once in a while still going to have a worse effect on his skin? He's dark anyway so it's hard to find the right color self tanner. Any suggestions?

There are some products, such as a mouse or towlette, which give you instant results. This way you won’t have to guess as to how dark you’ll end up for your special event. And be sure not to go too dark, you don’t want to look fake. Have fun at your special event! You’ll be able to see final results within 24 hours when using a spray or lotion.

How much time would you recommend for the self tanning products before a special event? 48 hours or will 24 do? Interesting.

The idea of a tanning bed always sounded 'strange' (for a lack of better term) to me because people are basically laying there getting baked (not to mention getting skin cancer, as you've pointed out as well).
