Is there anyway i can make my skin darker? without sun beds? or tanning lotions? i don't want to ruin my skin

Making skin darker: The best (and safest) way to darken the skin is to use tanning lotions or sprays, spray tan, or a product to stain the skin---summers labs makes a great product for this.
