I have been wanting to get a little more color before summer starts, but I’m hesitant.

1) I’m really pale, and so a lot of my veins show through my skin on my chest, legs, etc. Will the appearance of those diminish at all if I tan?

2) How long to tanning booth tans last usually?

3) I know when I tan in the sun, I get freckles on my face which I love. Will those show up if I tan with a tanning booth?

4) How many trips to the salon does it generally take to get a healthy, not-overdone tan?
I thought of one more question:

5) I hear a lot about moisturizing before and after you tan. Can I just use any store-bought moisturizer like St. Ives, or do I have to use those expensive ones they sell in the tanning salons?
