Tanning Tips

Since it's warm and sunny again, I've started to think I ought to work on a tan. I don't need to be bronzed or anything, I just don't want to be so pasty-white.

My tanning plan so far involves a towel, a bathing suit, the roof deck on my apartment building and one of those varieties of sunblock that is designed to let you tan but not burn. The thing is, I don't know how long I should "toast" each side or what the best kind of sunblock would be.

And please don't suggest a salon or a spray-on tan. I'm not going to pay good money to spend half an hour in a tanning bed when solar power is abundant.
