stand up tanning booths/spf (googletard potential)

[talentdeficit]

i'm moving to biarritz in the south of france in about six weeks. as it's a beach resort, i expect to spend a lot of time on the beach. so, i want a tan before i go, so i don't turn pink as a six year old girl's pajamas as i normally do on vacation. i am pretty pale.

i've started using stand up tanning booths (cyclones?), but i either get burnt and pale again by the end of the week or end up with very little improvement. could someone educate me on what kind of tanning products i should be using? ie, are those tan enhancers a giant scam and what kind of spf lotion should i be using?

i did google this, but google sucks now. almost all results are either yahoo answers (which is filled with retarded advice) or useless adsense landing pages. thanks.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I paid $200 for ten sessions in high end twelve minute beds. I only used five over two weeks and got pretty damn tan without any burning.

td,

What in the hell is the advantage of a stand-up booth? About ten years ago I tanned regularly, and the biggest benefit was how I could doze off while laying there (actually this led to paranoia about falling asleep for hours and being locked in, but whatever). Standing instead would have to be WAY better for it to be worthy of consideration.

the stand up booths take 1/3rd to 1/2 the time, i think. i'm a busy guy ldo.
