You can avoid damaging your skin entirely by using fake tan. Use moisturiser on dry areas like kneecaps and a good quality mousse tan. build up in small layers to get a natural finish. That's the safest way. Or you can use gradual tanner which activates the tan without the sun. That gives you your actual tan colour, when I use that I do one layer on one night, making sure i clean it off the palms of my hands. I wait for it to develop and do another layer the next night, and so on. I'd repeat for about 3-4 nights for a very dark tan. This actually makes you more photosensitive so you need to wear suncream when you use gradual tanner. I'd mix the two for an extreme tan.

I don't fake tan anymore these days, but really sun damage isn't worth the cancer risk or the aging which happens much faster than you think.
