There are two directions you can go with sunless tanning, you can go with bronzers and so-called wash off products or you can opt to go with products that actually stain the skin. Lotions are good because you don't need a second set of hands, but sprays have a tendency to dry quicker. Jergens Natural Glow can be purchased at a drug store or mass merchandiser and is cost effective. Another highly recommended product is Sephora's Body Intense Moisturizing Bronzing Lotion.
A tanning unit is a piece of tanning equipment which can be for indoor tanning or sunless tanning applications. Examples would be a tanning bed, a tanning booth or a sunless spray tanning system.
Many online forums have information about spray tanning. In addition you can watch videos online about the spray tanning process. I however would recommend visiting a local salon and asking them about the process, their products, and maybe even ask for a demonstration.
I think it would be wise to avoid using the sun as a source to tan is dangerous, so I would recommend maybe using a self tanning lotion. Jergens has a self tanning lotion that's affordable and you don't have to worry about the risks of suntanning or using a tanning booth.
I would recommend researching tanning beds on a review website called www.tanningbedreviews.com. This website features recommendations for home tanning beds and what benefits tanning beds might have for you.
I would not recommend it. I have done it before and burned quite badly. I would ask an attendant before getting in without lotion on.
Yes it is because a tanning bed will further dry your skin. I would ask a dermatologist or the people at the tanning bed you use to recommend the best lotions for your skin type.
Tanning beds are a potential danger for adults and probably even more so for children since their skin is more delicate. I would never recommend placing a child in a tanning bed.
I would go to www.bestratedtanninglotions.com. This website offers reviews of tanning lotion products and even has discounts. Remember that it will be important to get a tanning lotion that also protects your skin to decrease your chances of skin cancer.

L.A. Tan has both spray tanning and tanning beds. It would depend on your age and where you live though if they would let you go in a tanning bed :)
I would look at your tanning salon products and see what they offer. I would also get a spray tan professionally.
My suggestion then would be trying a tanning salon and using their tanning beds. Another idea would be to try the spray on tan but that seems so fake. Your best bet would be to ask the tanning salon professionals.
