I don't think 15 minutes is going to give you much of a tan. I apply at least SPF30 and am at the beach for about 3 hours. I come home nice and brown. But it also depends on your skin type. Maybe try a spray tan?

Theres so much lotion stuff out there that protects you from the suns harmful rays , and helps you get a tan. I use it all the time. and try sitting outside a little longer
