Just wanted to add that I have been using Toma's Perfect Tan since 2000 and its the best self tanner I have ever used. Its like $12 or $13 at Sally's Beauty Supply. It goes on even and you don't turn orange or streak.
I agree, get a self tanner and stay out of the tanning beds. After a few labs in microbiology where we needed to mutate DNA in different organisms and used UV light to do it, I swore I'd never go again. UV light can mutate DNA in seconds and mutated DNA is what causes cancer.
