The first thing you should do when you decide to get a tan is to create a base tan. It protects your skin from burning in future tanning sessions.  Start by use a tanning lotion that contains L-Tyrosine. It increases melanin production. Your first tanning session should be limited to only five minutes. Make that two to three minutes for people with fairer skin and red heads.  Moisturize your skin to make your skin tan faster. Visit the salon for frequent short sessions on the tanning bed and then gradually increase the amount of time you spend in the tanning bed.
