How to make my skin look better after winter for a romantic beach vacation?

[shelbysunshine]

In March, I will be driving form Ohio to North Carolina, meeting up with my best guy friend, and then riding with him to Myrtle Beach and staying there for a week in a hotel. Just the two of us. He and I are attracted to each other, and from our history it can be expected that we'll have sex while on this week long spring break vacation. Probably a lot of it actually. After a winter of dry skin and no sunshine, I'm pale and lackluster. I want to get a tanning package to help give my skin a bit of a glow. I don't expect to get dark between now and then (it's just a little over a month) but what all can I do to get the maximum results in that time? I had a friend suggest using bronzer. Does that stuff work?
I just want to look good. Besides having sex, I'm going to be in a bathing suit swimming a lot and walking around on the beach. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
