** 1st Time in Tanning Bed! AH! Help! **

Whatsup everyone,

I have never used a tanning bed before (only natural sunlight on ocassion). My goal is to get tan before I go on vacation so I don't burn up when I'm poolside!

Here is my skin type:
Fairly Sensitive Skin that sunburns, then turns darker.
I usually get the "farmer's tan" in the summer because I usually work outside with my shirt on. However, I have never actually tried to "tan" consistently.

Is there hope for my "pasty" torso and upper arms? LOL

My upper arms and torso are pretty pale, so my basic questions are:

#1. What bed should I use and how long?
#2. Do I use and sunscreen or tanning lotion (If so, what do you recommend)?
#3. How many times in the tanning bed before I notice a change in skin tone?

Thanks for all of your help!
