Ok, I will kick this one off
PS - xfactor need not apply
i forgot i was gonna start this thread about getting a amazing tan but i got caught up rewatching last nights "Dexter" on Showtime on demand
before i get into the nitty gritty i want to point out a couple of things
-I come from a long line of "dark skinned" people so I'm genetically inclined to have a amazing tan. Much like ronnie coleman could stare at a set of weights and get "swole", I could stand under a kitchen light bulb and get "wesley snipes" dark
-i'm not a doctor or dermatologist- do all of the following with caution
okay,
' for the "clear skin" part, it is all about showering and moisturizer. Use a good quality moisturizer (absent of any mineral oils) post shower and post tanning
"the tanning"
- get a unlimited monthly package at a good tanning salon
-this is what i did in terms of cycling my tanning sessions when i wanted to get really tan (i'm at "maintanence" right now so i don't go as much)
weeks 1-4, 5 sessions a week
weeks 5-8, 6 sessions a weeks
weeks 9-16, 7 sessions a weeks
from there you would ween down to a comfortable maintainence schedule
I also used a high quality lotion with "maximum tingle" and a high quality bronzer, back to back
