How can you get tanned without fake tan?

There is no way to get a quick successful tan without the use of lotions. In tanning beds it takes your body 5-6 minutes to begin absorbing UV lights. Therefore in a 10 minute bed you are wasting more than half of your session. Tanning lotions provide moisturization (which is KEY) and help to accelerate, maximize and intensify your tan. However, if you are completely opposed to using a tanning lotion, use a moisturizer before you get into the beds. The moisturizer with plump and hydrate your pores making them more apt to quickly begin absorbing UV lights. I would reccomend Total Immersion by California Tan.
