Nothing will completely block all UV light and stop you from tanning. An SPF will simply delay the amount of time it takes for you to receive MED's (minimal erythemal dosage). So in theory, a SPF 30 vs an SPF 8 will allow you to spend more time in the sun and delay the tanning process(by minimizing the penetration of UV light)

How can you get a tan without going to a tanning salon if you burn?

apply self tan. not the kind that turns your skin orange! Try Jergins tanning lotion. take a stroll in the sun and repeat daily. its like applying regular lotion except this lotion has tanning stuff in it. The more you go out in the sun with it on, the more you get darker. it wont completely turn you red. it has sunscreen in the lotion as well as a chemical that makes you tan. Give it a try.!
