The best way to get a tan without burning your skin is to start with a low-intensity sun exposure, such as a few minutes of tanning bed use or a spray-on self-tanner. Then gradually increase the amount of time you spend in the sun over several weeks until you reach your desired color. Make sure to wear sunscreen and protective clothing when outside for long periods of time.
