You can't exactly go out for 2 minutes and expect a tan. Also, you have to wear sunblock because even with it on you will STILL get tan. (Not saying you need spf 80, but 15 or 8 would be good for a tan...a few tans is not worth a battle against skin cancer).

Tanning depends on your skin type too. So its hard to say because if you have very light skin, you might get a little burnt and turn tan (but its not very dark or anything), or if you have the skin of my best friend, you tan very quickly and noticeably.

Like I said it depends on your skin type, but either way wear at least a little sunscreen.

If you are pale you will need to first establish a base tan. This can be done by going outside for 15 to 30 minutes at a time over a week or so. Then you will need to have a bronzer to bring out the dark colors and add time to the tanning session and go more frequently.

it depends on how easily you tan, weather conditions, and the uv index.

How long do you need to stay in the sun to get a tan?

Many people assume that it has a lot to do with the temperature but usually the temperature is only an indicator of what the UVB levels are at. The hotter it is the more UVB that day (UVB is what causes skin cancer, causes you to burn & tan). I would say though since many people don't know how to measure UVB levels that 85 degrees is a good tanning temperature (with little or no clouds)

Does sun block prevent a tan?

No it doesnt.. it just stops u from burning in the sun! The SPF numbers are how long you can stay in the sun without starting to burn... so in theory the higher the number the longer it will take to burn. U will tan regardless! x
