Tanning is alright i guess, i tan about two or three times a week and i have been doing it for about 2 years. I do not use a face tanner though i cover my face to avoid wrinkles. I like the austrilian gold lotions but make sure you stay away from tingle lotion and try the dual or triple bronzers. they work great. start off slow start at 5 minutes a couple times and work your way up DONT go to fast. but good luck
