As you all know, tanning season is upon us! Last year I had a good, but not great tan, mostly because I didn't lay down a proper base (yeah yeah yeah, I know that's one of the basic rules, but I waited too long last spring). While the tan was serviceable in Kansas (private pool parties, 4 wheeling, etc...) it was pretty obvious who was lax when I was in California, and I DO NOT want that to happen this year (got the rope at a beach soirée near Pepperdine U and was humiliated).
In years past this was my goto:

it provided excellent coverage and consistent tone, but now I want to kick it up a couple of degrees. Any reccy's out there from other elite tanners out there? Here are some details:
I will lay down a good 15% base over the next few weeks (75% natural sun - 25% bed) and will moisturize 10% more than usual (gotta be safe).
For the next six weeks I will be trying to increase my tone by 5% per week.
I will not go above 40% bed, and will NOT use any "fake bake" products.
TIA.

I look fantastic bronzed up. Great thread.

Rub yourself down with lard. Lay in sun.

I've had a few skin cancers removed. I will be pasty white for the rest of my life.
:angry: <----- except pasty white

Sorry bro. Not everyone can dunk either. :frown:
*In your case, I would def recommend a fake bake. It would be passable most places where image isn't that big a concern, and most people would understand. A spot like Sandals Jamaica or Oceans of Fun would be acceptable.

Wow, Chingon. It's amazing that you'd mention this. Was just doing a little "sunroof" shopping myself, and came across this review:
If you're looking for something more organic (and aromatic) for your skin this summer, don't overlook the all-natural olive-oil glaze. In addition to providing an exceptionally smooth, cinnamon-butter tan, it also works as a two-in-one skincare product, both bronzing and deeply moisturizing, which frequently proves valuable for those looking to extend their peak tans through the late-summer beach party season increasingly popular with the whos-who along the West Coast.
PROS: Great, long-lasting tan and well-moisturized skin from economical and organic means.
CONS: Will smell like falafel vendor

NICE but the smelling bad is a big-time deal breaker. You can tell who the tanning n00bs are by the overpowering scent of cheap imitation coconut. Very bad form.
ALSO a tip for the pros: use cut q-tips to separate your toes.

great thread timing. it's not quite time to chase down the rays but it almost is. my friends and i spend the majority of the summer at one of three places- a) party cove, b) pillsbury crossing, c) anywhere with a beach, a lot of babes, and a ton of brews.
anyways, if any of you guys find anything better than the 2010 version of Beyond Black Mega Tingle Indoor Tanning Bed lotion, post it here because as far as my friends and i are concerned, - it pwns anything else on the market.

I've got a tanning bed at home. You should look into it.

This is my ace in the hole for this year's sun season. If all goes well, I might just throw my shirts away, because I won't be needed them. I got the jeep tuned up: new roller bars and I filled my tires with water for sand cruising (espesh fun at night!).
Sun, sand, and sangria all summer long for me man. Going with the Mont Blancs this year too:

I'm getting "twice dipped" today like a rough ridin' wing at the peanut. Tanning bed and then a spray tan. Not looking forward to it.
