Tanning is your skins reaction to ultra violet rays from the sun (or tanning bed). Some people will tan more easily than other. To get a tan simply stay out in the sun for extended periods of time. Unfortunately this will also yield a high risk of skin cancer. There are tanning creams you can buy at tanning salons or at most drug stores. I think they would be the safest way to go to get a tan. But if you don't mind a little melanoma than get outside or into a tanning booth.

It really depends on...

1. How dark are you now? (casper/white/olive/tan/dark/black)

2. Where you are in the world (you tan/burn alot faster at the equator)


In general, doing everything outside shirtless should give you a tan but it wouldn't be a clean tan. To get a good one you need to lie in the same position for anywhere between 20-45 minutes, depending on 1) your skin type and 2) where you are in the world

Try lying on a lawn chair facing the sun for 30 minutes, then turn over and tan your back for 30 minutes. Do this afew times a week..

I always get red first. The only time I got really tanned was when I spent 2 weeks in Portugal. Other people I know would need 1 week max. so it really depends on the type of skin you have.
