Buy Tanning Bed

I know this is mostly a matter of opinion, but to you give you a more detailed description of what sort of advise I’m asking for I’ll tell you what my situation is. I’m a guy. My skin complexion is very white and pasty, and sort of resembles expired pizza dough with acne. So, in order to upgrade my sexual appeal, I’ve decided that I would look better with a little more color this year. It is now the end of January and I’m debating on when to start indoor tanning. I’m afraid that if I start now it will be too early and I’m trying not to make it look too obvious that I’m going tanning. But I would also like to start as early as possible. So I guess what I’m asking the most is when is the earliest time of the year that I can start having an artificial tan and still be tasteful and stylish?

I tan in a Wolff Sunvision 28LE bed if that makes a difference. Max is 20 minutes. I’d like to know what each minute in a tanning bed is equal to in real sunlight time. The gym owner where I tan didn’t know.

As a guy I already have a sort of brown tan but I want it to be darker. I tan pretty easily but want to speed it up a bit instead of baking in the sun. For those of you that know, what’s the best tanning lotion to use and how long do I need to sit in a tanning bed to maximize my tan without getting burned initially?
