Sunless Tanning Lotion
Sunless tanning lotion is a wonderful option for women who are pregnant but still want to get, or keep, a tanned glow.

If you're expecting and are concerned about the effects that the chemicals in your lotion may have on the baby, consider the following.

Fake Tanning
Whether you are a man or a woman, fake tanning your private parts may be something you are interested in doing.
Fake tanning sensitive areas in tanning beds is usually not recommended because of the concentrated UV light that the skin will be exposed to. Remember that many sensitive areas have probably never been exposed to the sun and are therefore, very susceptible to burning.

Indoor Tanning Lotions
So we all know that a great tan can make you look younger, healthier, skinnier and full of energy, but did you know that even a tan formed by indoor tanning lotions can actually make your teeth look whiter? Everyone wants a great smile but bleaching your teeth can be a harsh and painful experience. Even home bleaching kits and toothpastes can cause havoc for sensitive teeth. Wouldn't it be great to look like you've bleached your teeth without actually doing it?
Tanning can actually brighten your whole face, including your smile.

5 Surefire Ways to Set Off Your Tan
A tan is one of the few things that can give you a polished look all by itself, but here are a few things you can do to really seal the deal.
1. Wear White
Although a tan is the one accessory that will go with any outfit, white, in particular, makes your tanned skin sparkle just a bit more than usual. Wearing white can also help you keep your tan as it reflects the sun's rays and causes them to bounce against your skin.
2. Gold Toned Jewelry
Beautiful gold hoops and a gold toned statement necklace helps your tan look warm and stunning. Pair a white outfit and gold accessories with your tan and you're sure to look elegant and 'in vogue'.
3. Show Off Those Legs
Gorgeously tanned skin should be seen, especially in the summertime. Short skirts and short shorts will help everyone see the results of all that hard work in those tanning booths. A pair of high heels and manicured toes are the perfect finishing touches for any outing.
4. French Tipped Nails
Anywhere you can sneak white in, you should. White, french-tipped nails and toes are a great way to complete a polished image. If you've had issues with self tanning lotion turning your nails orange, a full set or a manicure could also help you remove it or cover it up.
5. A Big Smile
A great tan lets people know that you're outgoing, personable, fun-loving, and that you take care of yourself. However, none of that will ever be known unless you've got a big smile on your face. A tan and a smile work together to brighten your face and make your features sparkle. A tan can also make your teeth look whiter!
The next time you plan your day, consider planning your outfit around your stellar new tan.
Summertime Dont's
Summer is a great time to get outside and show off your great tan. However, here are some common summertime mistakes you may want to avoid this year.
1. Going too Dark:
A tan is definitely sexy, but someone who looks burnt orange or charcoal brown is not going to have fun no matter how warm it gets outside. Remember that even a subtle tan can give you many of the benefits that a dark tan can bring. Especially if you've never tanned before, keep it light and fresh. If you realize that you've gone too dark, try using a sliced lemon to remove indoor tanning lotions.
2. Body Lotion at the Beach:
You're about to head to the beach and your legs are nice and tanned. Without thinking, you rub on some body lotion and head out. Pretty soon, as the sand sticks to your skin like white on rice, you realize that you've made a mistake. Not only will body lotion make you a very annoyed beach-goer, but it will also prevent your sunscreen from staying on as long as it should. Even though you're tanned, always use sunscreen when outdoors. Try one with built in moisturizers instead of a body lotion.
3. Tanned Fingernails
Tanning lotions can be very difficult to remove once they've dried. Wearing gloves to smooth lotion over your skin can cause streaking but using your hands can cause the lotion to get into the nooks and crannies of your nail bed and turn everything orange. The secret to using your hands and keeping them orange-free is to wash them frequently while you apply the lotion. Take frequent brakes and use soap each time. Although a bit drying, this can help ensure your hands come out clean.
Although there are many more summertime dont's, if you can manage to avoid the top 3 above, you're guaranteed lots of carefree fun in the sun.
