I have got a face tanner,,guess its the name..hmm
Philips make them with 4 small tubes.. get them in a flee market..I payed same amount as 3 pound for such a tanner. and it takes around 3 minutes to exposure in a distance of 13 cm..and there are a timer build in too.. have not used it as I'm not sure its acurate enough.
