NO tanning bed is best for fair skin. You have a huge risk of getting skin cancer even after one use of a tanning bed. Every time your skin gets dark, the more you are damaging it.
a low wattage bed….and be sure to start out slow and add a couple minutes every two days. If you get a little red, skip a day! If it’s nice outside on the weekend, put on sunscreen and spend some time outside…pick back up tanning during the week!
there is no tanning bed that won’t freckle you when you use it and since you have fair skin that puts you at a huge risk for skin cancer. I would suggest only getting tan when you are outside doing things, take a bike or a run or something and wear shorts that way it will be all natural and then there is way less of a chance that you will get skin cancer.(keep in mind, that there is always risk of skin cancer when you are getting any UV rays though)
Stop! Please don’t use a tanning bed anymore and you’ll thank me twenty years from now. I stopped tanning 15 to 20 years ago and I never had freckles on my legs (but lots on my arms & shoulders) but in the last few years they have just started popping up and now I have lots of them. Sun damage to your skin might not show up until years later and then it’s too late to do anything about it. If you want a tan use fake tanning lotion. They are much better than they were years ago when they turned you orange. I like Neutragena but there are several other brands you could try. Honestly do your skin a favor and stop tanning.

There sun rays if you want a tan. Less dangerous than a tanning booth…
