Ooooh, I wonder if we'll be on the same boat!!!
In the past I've started about 2 weeks out.

Yeah you guys think 2 weeks is enough? I was thinking 2 MONTHS, lol. This is why I asked for opinions..

As Mig mentioned, some will depend on your schedule. If you want to space it out, 2 months is good. If you just want it done and over with, 2 weeks out should be plenty. I assume you are just looking for a bit of color? I've always used self tanner in the evenings before a trip to help boost my color.

You "shed" top layers of skin every day so you don't want to start to far out....all of that will be gone anyway! Two weeks seems like a good start.

It depends on your skin type. In April (if it's over 75 degrees and sunny) I can go out and wash my car or cut the grass in a tank top and, when I come in, I can see tan lines.
The key is: not too much at one time. It's very bad to lay out for hours to get a tan, even with lotion on. Gradually tan, then make sure you use a good aloe lotion each day. My tan usually hangs around from April until late October (but then, I have that self basting Italian skin that secretes olive oil)
and I also ride my Harley 3-4 times a week in Spring & Summer...
