Does putting baby oil on while tanning really help? I know a lot of people do it but to me it seems just messy. Does it help you tan?

Well, if you really want to risk skin cancer in your future yes, it does help.

However, tanning period is dangerous. The change in skin color is a sign of damage to the skin cells. Even just getting tan from being in the sun. That's why I prefer using the Jergens moisturizer which makes the skin appear to be darker.

In the body exist a protective substance called melanin that actually determines the rate you tan if you want to tan find the pills or/and lotion that helps worth that if not all you're doing is baking on sun burn

Consider yourself a french fry sizzling in the sun. The tan looks nice on young skin but you pay for it at 40. Its not worth it.
