Now that summer is about to end, does anyone have tips on how to keep a tan when you live in the city? I know they are many options but really can't find which one is the best, any suggestions?

Yes take that great advice if you want to pre-maturely age your skin.
Use a sunless tanner. Don't go tanning in a tanning booth PLEASE. It ages you! All the work we do to make our skins look better is totally wasted if we tan!!!!!

Yeah, my friends told me that sunbeds may be risky for my skin, but then so many other people say the contrary... You don't know who to listen!

It's when I read in the news that the World Health Organisation declared in a report that sunbeds are as lethal as cigarettes that I realised... That the best solution is to stay away from sunbeds!!

I don't want to be toldin 5 years time that I got skin cancer because of my vanity.

Some of you talked about really good fake tan products, can you tell me which one is the best? And is it better to get a spray tan or to use fake tan at home?
Thanks

BeautyJane- I would encourage you to read this. The IARC mis-interpreted the truth to none other than to benefit their organization. Now, they must eat their words and admit they were wrong.

When asked why tanning beds were made such a focus of this WHO/IARC position, Cogliano said: "It was our 100th year and we wanted to pick something that looked at the past and into the future. UV radiation and the sun is (from the) past, tanning beds (are linked to) the future."
The IARC research working group of international experts on skin cancer and UV radiation conducted a "systemic review" of all literature and studies regarding UV radiation and skin cancer and sunbed use.
The working group's review looked at 23 previously published studies that investigated the association between indoor tanning and melanoma risk in fair-skinned populations.
But the studies included only fair-skinned people, who have been long proven to be more susceptible to melanoma.
Cogliano said the use of fair-haired study subjects was natural since they are the ones who get the disease most often.
Data from 19 of the studies was then used to determine that the relative risk associated with use of indoor tanning facilities could be projected to be 14% higher compared to those who never use indoor tanning facilities, in the test subjects reviewed.
None of these was double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, as they simply looked back over other studies and tried as best they could to amalgamate all the results.

Did it really take a study from WHO to tell you that tanning beds are bad?

Sunbeds age your skin so much AND cause SKIN CANCER!! There's no way, I'm going to use one! You guys should sign this petition to ban unmanned salons and ask for stricter regulations on sunbeds!! (sttropezskinsmart.org)
I haven't heard of any cream to get rid of your tan.... sorry pumi!
But which fake tan products are you guys using that looks natural?
