Tanning for the bronze look...need help!?

I am very fair skinned myself and sometimes wish I tanned easier than I actually do. See, it's a little tricky because fair-skinned people tend to burn instead of tanning, and this is quite dangerous. Tanning lotions usually have extremely low SPFs, (like 2 or 3), while actual sunblock is a much higher SPF that is supposed to protect you from the sun's rays. Tanning lotions therefore do not provide as much protection as actual sunblock, so if you decide to use it, you will have to reapply it frequently if you don't want to burn.
