Does the DHA in a bronzing lotion need the UV light from the beds to "activate"? If one were to apply bronzing lotion such as Browning Fury or Dark Sexy Tan without going tanning, would your skin get darker?

I ask this because I wear a silver 3-ring "braided" ring on the ring finger of my left hand. (no I am not married or engaged) After several guys asked why I had a ring on ("do you have a boyfriend?" "are you engaged?"), I started to realize that it was a reason that guys are hesitant to talk to me. Well, last weekend I went out without it on and I just looked like an adulterous wife!!! hehehehe white pale band of skin on my dark finger.

If I apply a bronzing lotion specifically on that area of my finger, will it darken the area? Or should I buy a regular self-tanner for the job?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
