I know this is mostly a matter of opinion, but to you give you a more detailed description of what sort of advise I'm asking for I'll tell you what my situation is. I'm a guy. My skin complexion is very white and pasty, and sort of resembles expired pizza dough with acne. So, in order to upgrade my sexual appeal, I've decided that I would look better with a little more color this year. It is now the end of January and I'm debating on when to start indoor tanning. I'm afraid that if I start now it will be too early and I'm trying not to make it look too obvious that I'm going tanning. But I would also like to start as early as possible. So I guess what I'm asking the most is when is the earliest time of the year that I can start having an artificial tan and still be tasteful and stylish?

My bf goes year round but just 2-3 times per week. As soon as you start, you will be able to figure out how your skin tans. Just remember to go slow with it and people won't be able to notice as easily. You don't want to show up somewhere burned, that is always a dead give away. If you use some sort of bronzer or deepender, that should help as well, and will hold your tan better.
