I usually tell my fair skinned customers not to expect any visual results the first couple of times they tan. This sounds strange, but you need to ease yourself into your tan. It takes a few exposures UVB to cue your body to make the melanin that then becomes a tan. If you over do it too soon you will burn, peel and lose the tan your paid for. It may seem like a waste of time and money for a newbie, but their is a lot of merit in building a good base.

And I agree, use a really good lotion. Look for something with Tyrosine in the ingredients. Make sure it is towards the top of the list. This little ingredient will help your body produce as much of the lovely melanin as possible. That stuff is tanning "gold".
