You can either get a spray tan (from what I can recall mystic tanning is one of the best) and/or self tanners but you'll need someone to help with your back.
MODEL CO. is good so is St.Tropez but, since I am assuming this would be your first time I recommend to go to a tanning salon and get a custom air brush if you are doing a special event but, if you just want to look tan all year round I would say go with a spray tan in a booth which is called a mystic tan. I was addicted to tanning and started to peel so, I choose the alternative which was spray tanning and I love tanning so much I bought my own air brush tanning gun to do it myself. but, yes go to your nearest salon and they have different shades of the spray tan solution depending on the color of your skin and how dark you want to get but, tanning makes your teeth appear whiter, and you look thinner and hides stretch marks and defines so looks like you are toned. Don't worry you won't look orange but, I would not go with a self tanner they take much longer and you can screw up easily and look streaky. Go to a tanning salon and ask for an air brush tan! Let us know how you like it!
this is spray tan I asked for a boost in my solution (to make me darker) and also, did a 6 min session in bed tan. You are fair skinned so your tans will look different than mine but, don't be scared spray tans take a minute just make sure to exfoliate and don't wear lotion on your body before you go spray tanning and shave! depending on the spray tan it is instant or it can develop. Don't be intimidated go to your nearest tanning salon and ask what shade will best suite you and explain to them what shade you are trying to achieve!

I found out I'm allergic to the UV rays in tanning beds, is there any other ways to get tan that won't harm my skin?

St. Tropez mousse! The best self tanner, in my opinion.

Or the less expensive St. Moriz version :) look for it on eBay, it's a U.K. Item but even with shipping it'll be a third of the price of St. Tropez.

I would get an airbrush spray tan; it's much more accurate and the cost is about the same these days!
