Make sure to moisturize like crazy inbetween visits. It's awesome for your skin to stay moisturized, and drink TONS of water

I know it's not something you want to hear, but seriously? If I could do my life over again, I would never, ever sit in the sun. It's just not worth the stress of knowing at any time I could be sitting around with a melanoma that is slowly killing me.

OOps, ETA: If you have seasonal affective disorder, which is helped by light (I don't know what you're referring to with bipolar being helped by light) the lights that are good for SAD, at least, do not tan you.

As for self tanners...

For your face, nothing beats Clarins Radiance Plus Self Tanning Cream Gel. I've never found a body tanner I like as much as I love the Clarins, but I've had pretty good luck with L'Oreal and Lancome's body products. Good luck


Got to agree here. Tanning is not what it's cracked to be. I'm very weary of it. I recommend a great self tanner like Origins The Great Pretender for body and Faux Glow for face. They have less chemicals in them and are more natural than some other cosmetics line. LOVE THEM!
