How can I speed up my tan?

There are a few things you can do to speed up your tan. First, use a tanning oil or lotion to moisturize your skin and help it absorb the UV rays more effectively. Also be sure to spend enough time in the sun or on a sunbed; if you’re only in the sun for a short period of time, you won’t get much of a tan. Short periods of tanning on a sunbed, three times per week is best.
