You didn't mention spray-tan in your options. Call around tanning
salons in your area and find a good place that does spray tans. You can
take a few applications to reach as dark as you want, and it will hold
most of it's color for 4-5 days. It's done with a spray gun by a
professional.
It's what they use on shows like Dancing With The Stars...so everyone
looks dark and sexy, and it doesn't rub or sweat off ... but it's a more
natural color than self tanners. I'm fair too....self tanners make me
orange, all of them, even the expensive Estee Lauder type things.
Want to just try it out? I bet a couple of place would do a test patch
for you in a hidden place so you can watch it for a few hours and see
how the color develops.
