What is a good tanning lotion out there?

Is it worse to tan in the sun or tanning bed?

2011-11-20T23:17:00.008-08:00

Apparently the u/v effects are stronger in a tanning salon. So both are bad. You can safely tan by applying sunscreen with 20spf tanning lotion and bake for only 15 minutes on each side each day, In natural sun. But a lot of people would recommend not to do any. Fake tanning supposed to be the safest.

Reply:tanning bed is worse as the sun does give you vitamins,although only one type.
Reply:i think theyre as bad as each other,if you're in the sun use suncream
Reply:yuk. stay out of the sun if possible. you'll regret it when you get to 35 + and your skin is 20 years older than it should be.

You want to look 20 at 30, not look 40.

Reply:I seem to remember something I read once, it said sunbeds were safer because they filtered certain harmfull rays.
Reply:both are bad!
Reply:I live in australia so for me the sun is far worse (hole in the ozone layer :( )
Reply:I'm aware that tanning is bad. OK! From personal experience, I have found that it caused much less skin damage when I used a tanning bed than the real sun. But, when you are in a tanning booth or bed those rays don't just stop at your skin, They go on through to your organs and i'm pretty sure those little glasses will not stop you from getting cataracts. I'm pretty sure the fake and bake is worse for your health. Keeping that in mind from a vanity point of view fake and bake is quick and easy.
Reply:oh tanning bed is the last option for you to consider..since it has 2 major con's - it gives your unnatural tan, orange and it gives more damage to your skin. Just run to the beach and get a healthy looking tan..since summer is near and the temperature is rising up. don't forget to put on sunscreen :D

Tanning Lotion...Australian Gold Beach in a Bottle.. anyone tried it?

2011-11-20T23:17:00.007-08:00

Anyone tried Australian Gold Beach in a Bottle? Is it any good, does it work? Can you use it for an all over body application? Just scared of what to use b/c everything makes me look horrible. Thanks for the answers. :-)

What is some great tanning lotion to use outside to help with tanning darker quicker?

2011-11-20T23:17:00.006-08:00

Use a bronzer lotion that you put on and then an hour or two later its a litter darker tint, you can get it at your local tanning booth.

How do these sunless tanning lotions compare in creating dark deep tans: Fake Bake, St. Tropez, Neutrogena?

2011-11-20T23:17:00.005-08:00

Fake Bake and St. Tropez don't have different levels like Neutrogena (light, medium, deep). I've used Neutrogena deep and it gets pretty dark. Do Fake Bake and St. Tropez get as dark or darker? The light and medium sunless tanners really don't make a difference on my skin.

Secondly, how do the scents compare? Neutrogena doesn't smell great. I can't wait to shower the scent off. I'd like to try St. Tropez or Fake Bake if they get at least as dark.

Please only answer if you've tried one of the above mentioned.

I use a L'oreal one, in a spray and it is excellent, there is another one that is a bronzer, and that is excellent. Try those if you get them where you are.

How do I get rid of self tanning streaks and patches?

I used self tanner, and i have streaks and patches an dthey look gross =/ ... also, how do i spread it more evenly?

How do I get rid of self tanning streaks and patches?
Stop using self tanners. They are prone to looking streaky. If you are not going to do that then exfoliate your skin prior to using self tanner and use a self tanner that you can see where you are adding it. Some products look a certain color, so you can tell what you are doing.
Reply:I heard lemon juice helps, but it might remove a majority of the color.

Dove® Energy Glow™ Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self-Tanners

the soaps worked even better for tanning

the moisturizer is about $7-$9 at drugstores(less at walmart)

the soap for 3 bars is about .....$4 or so

Tanning salons...?

2011-11-20T23:17:00.002-08:00

if you have ever been there can you tell me what you have to do and what happens and what do you need to wear...and what were your results??

Tanning salons...?
yes let me tell you. i use to go to tanning beds.i looked great. had a beauitful tan year round.and as we all know every one looks better with a tan right? theres one thing that will ruin a good tan.its called CANCER. now i have a huge hole and a huger scare where they had to remove half of my back. skin cancer is one of the fast growing and most deadly cancer you can have. my cancer can come back at any time. i worry every day about that. if you thing im trying to scare the hell out of you then you would be right. take it from me its not worth the risk. spend 20 minutes a day no more then 3 times a week in the sun. what ever color you can get from that is safe. STAY OUT OF THE TANNING BEDS. oh by the way i was not one to over use the beds. i only went 2 some times 3 times a week.
Reply:DONTTTTTT DO IT!!!
Reply:You don't wear anything in the tanning bed. BUT YOU MUST invest in the tanning bed sun screen or else you'll fry your little **** off.

The results are being tan, obviously. It take a few trips for you to actually get a decent tan.
Reply:Hi :), well usually you wear lingerie or just go nude, and wear eye protectors, they do work well, but they are best for a one off or two off basis, because they are very dangerous and have been known for causing some forms of skin cancer because of the uv radiation.
Reply:DO NOT tan. I tanned as a teenager and I'm now 29 I can already see wrinkles appearing around my eyes and it sucks. As far as I can tell they are from the tanning because I exercise, eat right and don't smoke. Having darker skin is so not worth wrinkles (or skin cancer for that matter).
Reply:I know that tanning your skin in those things can give u skin cancer so I would not even try especially if your skin is very white %26amp; sensitive
Reply:Tanning salons are bad. Sunbeds are very bad. The results are after only five minutes, you go red and blothcy. Plus, it damages your skin. spray on tans are not any better. They damge your skin also. If you get a tan now, everyone will know its fake. Wait until summer, and get a tan the good old fashioned way! Don't forget sun tan lotion! 30 SPF min!
Reply:YOU GO IN PAY GET ASSIGNED TO A BED, YOU GO TO THE ROOM I GET NAKED BUT YOU CAN WEAR WHAT EVER YOU WANT AND THEN TAN
Reply:They all are a little different but the one I go to you wear a bikini and bring clothes to change into i usually bring like a light tank top dress and then you just follow whatever the salons instructions are and are usually brought into a room you pay for how long your going and results are ok at first if you do it alot you get tanner
Reply:it works well and it depends hoe long you want to stay in.

but the ones that you spray on are better and safer.
Reply:i actually just got back like 10 mins ago

just go in and tell the person its your first time and they will take you through everything..and if you have any questions...ask

i wear nothing when i go, and after about 3 times in a row i see good results a nice even tan thats not too dark
Reply:well it is a bed like contrapsion that you lay in that has lights. Or some you stand in depending on the model of bed. You can either wear underwear , swim suit or go naked.( i go naked) You go in the room strip down put on lotion( it makes you tan faster) lay there for up to 20mins(in the old school beds) 8 for the newer ones. Then you get dressed and leave. and you have to do this for about a week and then once you get a base tan you can go just a couple of times a week.
Reply:Don't do it, but if you will, here's some tips how to do it smart:

Do you get any color when you tan in tanning booth withOUT any tanning booth lotion???

2011-11-20T23:17:00.000-08:00

Yes, of course. Just being in the tanning booth will give you a tan. The tanning lotion helps condition your skin, make it softer and sometimes speeds it up. The lotion is really just something they try to sell you. You don't need it to get a tan at the tanning booth, believe me.

For the money, the best thing you can do, however, is go to a good day spa and have them put on self-tanner. It's much healthier for your skin. Just think how much nicer you'll look when you're 60 and your skin looks like you're 45!

Do you get any color when you tan in tanning booth withOUT any tanning booth lotion???
Yes, lotion should only be to protect you though... as far as I know.
Reply:Yes, but the lotion helps to keep you from burning as much and works as a moisturizer. Plus usually it smells good.
Reply:Yes, But i do use it now because they help you stay moisturized. Also, the lotions with bronzers in them will help you retrieve your color faster!
Reply:Yes. You can get a tan without the lotion, but it helps. The lotion is there to boost the tan. It does not protect you in anyway from the rays. Its only purpose is to help the tan develop. You have to be careful if you do use a lotion though because if it has SPF in it, it could harm the tanning bed.

Basically, if you don't want to use the lotion. Don't use it. Your tan will just take longer to develop than if you did use it.

Tanning bed yes or no?

Reply:nonee

its better not to fake n bakee.

just looks ugly sometimes..

if some saw results.
Reply:Tanning bed is not a good idea as it causes Skin Cancer. Some time in Sun is OK as you get Vitamin E . Avoid Noon time or direct Sun on a hot day.

Good luck!
Reply:Yes, personally I LOVE being tan, you just have to know how to keep it under control. Ask a tanning consultant how long you should go for, at almost every tanning salon you are required to fill out an evaluation to see how easily you burn. Next, make sure you keep your skin healthy by exfoliating daily, and keeping it highly hydrated. Never burn, burning is what causes skin cancer. Last make sure you purchuse some kind of lotion, not only will they help you darken and lengthen your tan, they will protect it from harmful rays. Good luck! "Life is always better tan" :)

Tanning bed go-ers?

2011-11-20T23:16:00.006-08:00

What is the best product to use in your opinion?

Tanning bed go-ers?
Ive been tanning for a while now on and off and worked at a salon. Personally, I like Swedish Beauty products. Dangerously Dark is a triple bronzer with hemp it gives you great color, but you can't shower for 4 hours after you use it for the best color. Also Pink Diamonds is good I believe it is a 2 tingle, but I wouldn't suggest a tingle for someone who just started tanning. If your first starting out Ide say you should use Amaretto, deep bronzing treatment with a conditioner. Hope this helps!! Also make sure you wear goggles or peepers (sticker eye covers) they have them at every salon.
Reply:Swedish Beauty holds everything. Intensifiers, tingles, bronzers, extenders. As for a tingle lotion, Pink diamond's tingle power is a 2, Sinful is tingle power 7 it gives you a deep dark color, some others are Hot Amaretto TP10, Bonfire TP30, Unforgiven and Intoxicating TP40. Report It

Reply:Go to swedishbeauty.com if you want to check out other lotions or more information on any of the ones I mentioned. All I ask is make sure you chose a tingle that your skin can handle, Ive seen people use a 30TP and parts of their skin actually burned off. Report It

Reply:alrighty, thanks a lot! Report It

Reply:i like addicted to love it has a slight tingle. not too much. i get WAY dark using that stuff.
Reply:California Tan products. They are very effective. They have everything from bronzers to tinglers. And they vary in price range by product from $20-$100 a bottle so it's affordable on any level

Tanning moisturiser??

2011-11-20T23:16:00.005-08:00

Do these moisturisers that claim to offer "that hint of summer glow" work?

If so, what is the best one? And can you use the same one on your body and face? Do they smell nice?

Tanning moisturiser??
Most moisturizers do work, but they really do only offer a hint. I used to work at a tanning salon, and we would sell products like that, they contained a little bit of DHA (which is the main ingredient in sunless tanner), and you would need to use repeatedly to notice. It would be best to use these products after shaving, because shaving afterward would simply remove the product. You will see a better result with continued use. In terms of your face, both Jergen's and Oil of Olay manufacture products designed specifically for your face. :) Hope this helps!!
Reply:I used the Superdrug brand last year and i got a fabulous tan. I was really happy with the result. Don't think it costs that much either.
Reply:I buy the one from Dove and got to say the product really delivers- it gives you delicate color that builds over time- it’s best to use it every day for few days to get the tan look. It’s not as concentrated as the self tanner so if you mess it up a bit it does not show. The smell is nice too. Jergens also makes this but I absolutely hate the smell of my skin afterwards (smells like you did not shower after tanning in a tanning booth, yuck.)
Reply:I got one yesturday "dove summer glow" smells great , and works can see the difference after one aplication , takes 5 days to reach the best effect !! natural looking tanning and cheap !!
Reply:nivea or dove are good ones as they give u tan over the days ...so even if u mess up a little bit its no big deal ...also they are very soft and good to ur skin and smell nice !

good "tan" ;-)
Reply:I have Jergens and it has a bit of a smell it works but it takes a long time to notice on me but I am fair
Reply:I've tried a few of these products and Johnsons is definately the best. They do ones for body and also one for use on the face. They are quite subtle and give you only a bit of colour, but they make you look and feel brighter!
Reply:I dont like the smell of the johnsons one,the dove smells good
Reply:i use the johnsons one it gives you a really nice glow and leaves your skin nice and soft

doesnt smell too good at first but it soon wears off

not meant to use it on face but i use what is on hands to rub on face before i wash them
Reply:dior has a really good one, it doesnt leave streaks and doesny give to much colour, just a summer glow look.
Reply:Have you tried the one from Dove. It's v good and smells lovely.
Reply:I have tried Johnsons, Garnier and Piz Buin, but the best one I've found is Superdrugs own make. It's really good.
Reply:I have tried the Johnson's one it didn't smell very nice but it worked fine and made your skin soft.

I have also tried the Avon one I can't remember the smell but this worked OK too.

They work best if you exfoliate your skin first.

They need to be used over a period of time to build up the colour and don't forget to wash your hands afterwards so you don't get coloured palms.

It's better to use one especially for your face

Which is better a tanning bed or a tanning booth?

2011-11-20T23:16:00.004-08:00

well i go to a tanning booth b/c personally tanning beds scare me but either way works just the same.

=]

Which is better a tanning bed or a tanning booth?
30 minutes in the sun, a much safer and healthy was to tan. those tanning beds and booths can really ruin your skin and give you skin cancer. Even tho the sun can, your supposed to get 30 minutes a day of sun for your skin. if you do that everyday for 30 minutes, you slowly get a really good looking tan.
Reply:by tanning booth, do you mean the fake tan that is sprayed on, if so that is better. if not i wouldnt use either can cause skin cancer and premature ageing.. dont want to look like a cancerous prune later in life do we?
Reply:Stand up tanning booths tan you more evenly than the beds.

However, the spray on tanning is the best, hands down, due to not getting UV damage. It takes some practice to figure out the tricks to not have funny looking hands and feet, but it's SO WORTH IT.

Need to get a tan in 2 weeks using tanning bed!?

2011-11-20T23:16:00.003-08:00

I have fair skin and usually always burn in the summer time. I would really like to try to add "some" color to my skin within the next two weeks. I don't expect to have brazilian goddess skin but anything darker than what I have right now. I have never used a bed before. How often should I go and how long should I spend in the bed? Do I use sunblock or the products supplied by the salon?? Any advice would be much appreciated. I know I have a limited amount of time but I want to do this the "smart" way and not pay for it later. Thanks all!

Need to get a tan in 2 weeks using tanning bed!?
yes use a tanning lotion, and go every day or every other. first vist go about 10-12 minutes and build up to 20-25 min.
Reply:you'll pay for it later if you go to any tanning bed, with early premature aging and risk of skin cancer. the best way to go is sunless tanning lotions, apply evenly on your skin every day and you'll get glowing, natural beauty without the cost, time and dangers of tanning beds.

go for jergen or nutragena brand.
Reply:This is just from personal experience but if you're looking to get dark quick I would suggest this: Go to the tanning salon and tan in a bed for the first 13 days. Buy the lotion they have at the salon (it does help you to get a tan faster). Put it on right before you get in the bed. For your first session, do the minimum amount of time (usually like 10 minutes) and with each session stay in the bed for a few more minutes each time till you reach the maximum of 20 minutes. Buy the "insurace" gel from the salon to put on after you tan. It prevents peeling, eases discomfort, and reduces burning. The last session, I would suggest doing the spray tan. Once you have a base tan, the spray tan works great at getting you dark and looking natural with one session. Hope this helps!
Reply:I would reccomend a fake tan, like tan in a bottle. If you do it right, you will look amazing.

St. Tropez is very good. You'll be looking tan without the streaks and orangish color!

You can also try.... This new tanning mit, it's pretty much fool proof, you can pick it up at your Local Pharmacy, it's made by Loreal.

I would avoid the tanning beds, you're more likely to burn then get tan in 2 weeks.
Reply:SAY NO TO TANNING BEDS!!!! I AM VERY FAIR SKINNED AND MY SKIN IS VERY DRY!!! I WENT TO THE TANNING BED RELIGIOUSLY ALL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. NOW AT 23 I AM NOTICING THE RAMIFICATIONS OF MY CHOICE TO TAN.
Reply:You could use a tanning bed for two weeks straight, but chances are you will burn horrendously if you go in for 10 mins on your first day, then you will spend a week trying to soothe the burn..I'd say 7 or 8 minutes in a tanning booth on your first shot is a better plan.(especially if they have new bulbs!) If you're afraid of burning I would stick to fake tan products- Jergens is one of my favourites.(they have bottles for your face, and your body.) good luck!
Reply:Don't go to the tanning bed especially if you're fair skinned. Bad news for your health. If the salon has one of those Mystic spray on booths try that or do a tan in a bottle. Some of the day spas also do spray on tans (like celebrities get...the good ones not Christina Aguilera's orange tan).
Reply:If you go to a good salon they do a skin evaluation for you and tell you how long you should go your first time, then if you dont burn you can add a few minutes each day. if you do burn wait a day and let it turn to tan before you try again or you will just burn more and your skin will peel. get a lotion from the salon (make sure its not a tingle) and get something to put on after to hold the tan. and put a sticker on your body somewhere when you go so you can see how dark your getting
Reply:ROFLOL. Do you notice all the questions in this section? They're all about trying to remove wrinkles! Why would you do something that will make them come faster!?

The only way not to pay for it later is to use a sunless tanning solution and skip the tanning beds!
Reply:I suggest neutrogena instant bronze %26amp; jergens natural glow.

Tanning is for fake broads, you'll look orange %26amp; in a few years your face will look discusting.

My face is about two shades darker than the rest of my body and this i dont like. This week i am going to the beach to get a suntan and what i wanted to know is if there was a way i could darken my body but not my face. Like for instance i heard that if i lay in the sun and cover my face with a thick towel will this prevent my face from becoming darker is this or is it not true and is there a way that i could do this.

Reply:Do a spray-tan. They really work, and you don't have to do your face. You can either go into a salon, or at-home.
Reply:thats true alot of people that tan often sometimes dont want to tan there face so they throw a towel over there faces it works.. you could also wear some thick make up but.. that might be a little gross as long as you cover your face up then it wont tan.. just throw a towel over it.
Reply:Use a very high SPF moisturizer on your face, and only your body will become darker. I wouldn't suggest putting a towel over your face as it can get really hot and sweaty, which will make it difficult for you to breathe.

Reply:because they are not happy with themselves. they think that having "darker", but in this case orange skin is beautiful.beautiful is embracing whatever you are, even if you are freakishly pale. it honestly makes my sick. if they are so eager to tan, then they could just use bronzer or something. they have no lives.

How many min. do I have to be in a tanning bed for a good tan?

2011-11-20T23:15:00.007-08:00

i'm going for my first time in 2 days. How long do you have to be in one for a dark tan? And i'm going to be using just a classic bed

How many min. do I have to be in a tanning bed for a good tan?
The place you are going, for your tan, should recommend the amount of time. You will not tan in one session which is why most tanning salons offer packages. Tanning is usually done over a series of sessions with the time in the machine being increased slightly each visit until you reach the darkness that you desire.

Why not opt for a spray on tan? It is certainly much better for your skin (which will age/wrinkle faster due to the ultraviolet rays) and healthier (no risk of skin cancer). Spray on tans look natural, color is very fast and it lasts from 2 to 4 weeks depending on how well you take care of it.
Reply:the longest the salons will alow you is 15 min if they are lenient 20 is good
Reply:5 hrs.
Reply:30 minutes.
Reply:u wanna start of onlike 5 or six minutes dependsing on how light u are

if u go for more than that on your first day you will be red for days

once youve been a few times u can work your way up to 15 minutes
Reply:depends on your skin color to begin with. im dark so i can go the full 20 min. if you are pale, you might wanna start off at like 7. ask the ladies at teh receptionist desk and let them know if you burn easily :)
Reply:wow, first time in two days! thats such a long time!

just go on for like 2-3 hours, that'll save you money! lol
Reply:OMG. all those responses are crazy. For your first time dear I would say between 8-10 minutes. If you go any longer, you will be as red as a tomatoe.
Reply:0 minutes... unless you find skin cancer appealing.
Reply:Your first visit you should DEFINITELY NOT stay in any longer than like 7 or 8 minutes, its very easy to burn.You need to start out with low minutes and work your way up to higher.A friend of mine went a couple weeks ago and stayed in for 15 minutes her first visit and the next day she was at the hospital with 2nd degree burns.
Reply:tanning is different for every person, but i would definitly tell you to take it slow because it can effect your health in many ways such as wrinkles and sun spots and thats not a pretty site, so take it slowly and as you keep going each day you will gradually get darker my mom goes for 30min.and that usually does it but if you haven't done it for a while you may get red and burnt so take it slowly and every day you go will gradually make your skin darker..

Reply:If I had breast cancer, the last thing I would be worried about is "TANNING". I won't risk it at any time. There are some really great self tanning products on the market now, not like the old days where everyone turned ORANGE.

Reply:with or without cancer you can not tan in a tanning bed without harming yourself..women that are sun worshipers are prone to skin cancer and early aging.. wrinkles..tanning beds are a false sun complete with all the harmful rays..you have survived one bout of cancer..don't push your luck.
Reply:I am a cancer nurse and totally against those darn tanning beds, but you deserve to do whatever you want to do after what you have been thru. If you want to tan, then take it very slow and don't set the dial more than 5 minutes the 1st time. Take it slow.

Hooray for you feeling like you want to do something positive for yourself. More power to yah!!!!
Reply:even if you haven't had cancer, tanning beds are harmful. They put harmful uv rays into your body
Reply:No. Going through chemotherapy is pumping chemicals through your body. These chemicals can cause lots of changes in your body. Your doctor should have told you to stay out of the sun (real and artificial). Sun damage is much worse if you've been through chemo.
Reply:I was told that women who have had breast cancer are twice as likely to get skin cancer as the average person. I can live without a tan personally... LIVE being the operative word here. I wouldn't risk it.
Reply:NO WAY. Stay away from tanning salons. In fact creams/body lotions are not so great for the skin. You should be thinking about using organic products.
Reply:My experience is that my skin was more sensitive and actually burned more easily right after chemo. I think it was one of the chemicals they used on me though. I could be out 5 minutes and it affected me as though I was out for an hour.

They say a LITTLE bit of sun is good, because the natural vitamin D in the rays of the sun help. If you feel so inclined to tan, please be careful. Never stay out too long; especially the first time. Also, don't go out during the peak ours; 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. I would also use sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UBV and does not have PABBA. One that I know of is Avon.

I really wouldn't recommend "tanning". Just getting a bit of color for a few minutes in the sun from time to time, while being protected against the detrimental rays.

Bottom line, don't lay out to "tan". Just be in the sun when you need to accomplish something that makes you have to be outside. Try to do it early in the morning or later in the day. And use sunscreen UVA/UVB. Wear a hat or use an umbrella. That's about it. Oh, and NO TANNING BEDS - EVER!

Indoor tanning is more harmful to your skin than the sun, which is bad for you already. You risk skin cancer and your skin will age faster and have more wrinkles. I've heard of a tan they spray on your body, like painting your body and that it lasts a few months.

Is it unsanitary to tan at a tanning salon nude?

2011-11-20T23:15:00.003-08:00

I think most people do, or tan with very little on. Make sure that there's an anticeptic spray in the room with you and wash that mother hardcore before getting in and after you get out. Because a tanning bed is hot with UV lights, not much will survive by way of bacteria and viruses. But still...if the place looks yucko, don't put your naked body in it. (And here's a plug for not using tanning beds...tanning is so bad for your skin, girl! And check out older ladies who like to tan...they look like a peeled apple that's been sitting around for a month!)

Is it unsanitary to tan at a tanning salon nude?
Not if I watch to make sure the germs don't get on you.
Reply:Tanning salons do the same damage to your body that the sun does. I think they should be illegal.
Reply:I don't think it is unsanitary to tan at a tanning salon nude as long as you know they sanitize their beds very well. Most salons MUST sanitize the beds after each use, and they are really run so much better now than they have in the past that you can almost guarantee that they are doing just that. Ask your current salon what steps they take to insure safe and sanitary tanning. I would also consider the risks that you can take on your most delicate skin though.
Reply:NO. All tanning salons are required by law to provide cleaning

agents to everyone and are required to clean beds after each use. Some places actually leave a bottle of cleaner in the rooms

for you to clean the bed before and after each use. (which is very

wise to do.) My tanning salon cleans the beds after each use

even if you have cleaned it yourself. Ask the salon you are

considering to use what their practices are and if you don't feel

comfortable choose another salon.

What is the best tanning lotion to get a base tan?

2011-11-20T23:15:00.002-08:00

Any swedish beauty or Australian Gold product with a bronzer. Australian Gold "Confessions" is a great tanning lotion to start with but in the store you'll pay $70.00 for it (the website at the bottom of this is a wholesale tanning lotion site). The bronzer will give you good color faster. If you are light skinned make sure you don't spend more than a few minutes in the sun while wearing a lotion that doesn't have an SPF factor. If you are not naturally pale then it is safe to spend a little bit longer in the sun initially while building your base.

I live 3 miles from the ocean and surf regularly. I am therefore tan all the time. Being that I have a tan I use straight Johnson and Johnson baby oil when I head out there. It moisturizes and greatly intensifies the suns rays.

The lotion I mentioned above ($70 in the salon) is only $35 on this site... I've used the site before and am not affiliated with them in any way.

Good luck.

Tanning salons dangerous?

Especially for me as I have white skin (red hair). But I do want to get a little red in and white out.

Tanning salons dangerous?
Get some of that body spray and forget the tanning salon. Excessive exposure can cause your skin to become leathery and have premature aging. Ultra-violet also produces greater risk of skin cancer.
Reply:yes. it like sitting out in the sun
Reply:Of course they are dangerous. What's more they wrinkle your skin prematurely and make you (eventually) look ten years or more older than you are. This is permanent damage that can't be corrected, no matter how much oil of olay you use. Just be natural, it's more attractive.
Reply:There‘s an opinion that sunbeds are safer than sun tanning, but it‘s certainly not true. Sunbeds use concentrated doses of ultraviolet radiation. It's the same type of radiation that is produced by sun and is the main cause of skin cancer. It also causes skin to age prematurely. The difference is that the ultraviolet radiation produced by sun is not as concentrated as produced by sunbeds. The more exposure to ultraviolet radiation, the greater the chance of developing skin cancer.

The last one was 28yrs old and the cancer started as a small freckle on his thigh spread to his spine and brain.......So stop being so vain and GO pale!
Reply:No way. It should say that inside the sunbed place. The rays can seriously harm/kill your unborn baby.
Reply:I would avoid doing anything even slightly harmful to your body at least for the first trimester. There is no proof that UV rays affect the baby, but there have been some studies that show that greatly raising the temperature of your body during the first trimester could hinder spinal development. You don't want to hinder the development of your baby in any way. Ask your doctor if they think it's safe, but you can find a lot of self-tanners now that are really natural looking and probably safer than cooking yourself. (plus it's better for your skin and lessens your chances of melanoma - afterall you're having a baby and you want to be healthy so you can see that baby grow up)

Do they fry your insides? I don't think that is possible but I wanna know what you think...

TAnning beds?
No! they do not fry your insides. Tanning bed bulbs contain UVA and UVB (Ultraviolet Lights), the same is for the sunlight outdoors. And, peoples insides dont get fried by the sun, therefore will not get fried by a tanning bed.
Reply:No they do not fry your insides, its not hot enough in one to do that. Just be careful how long you lie in one, you could get a nasty sunburn
Reply:a girl fron where i live died cause she went to the tanning bed for thirty min twice in one day to look tan for prom, so i would think that it does fry your insides but i have never heard of any proof so i really do not know
Reply:Certainly not. They don't operate with microwaves. Tanning beds can be very safe if they are used responsibly. To go in and intentionally burn is foolish. They can be used to give you a gentle tan that will darken and will actually protect you from nasty outdoor burns. People use them before summer outings and vacations for that purpose. Be sure that the tanners at the salon you choose have a natural looking tan. The old orange-ish tans are mostly a thing of the past, with new bulb technologies, but they still occur. Your tan should be a natural-appearing healthy golden brown.

Tanning problem??
Don't do it. In a few years you will develop age spots, blotchy skin and wrinkles. I have an aunt who has tanned all her life and she is as wrinkled as Keith Richards. And she isn't that old. Each sunburn greatly increases your chances of developing skin cancer. A suntan is a sign of damage in itself. If you burn easily you aren't meant to be tan. My best girlfriend is very pale and tried her best to tan when we where teens but she always ended up looking like a lobster. I suggest you use a sunscreen of at least spf 30 especially on your face. Even then you will still develop some color, that is if you tan instead of burn.
Reply:Hi will go brown when the redness fades but any form of moisturiser will help take the redness out and then it will go brown, If you have coco butter or aloe vera then you can deffinalty use this.

The only way i can tan is if i sun bath progressively using different factors of suntan lotion.

if you get one..then does it stay forever like a tattoo? because i want it for like...awhile but not like till im 30 or something. i just want it for like a few months.

Tanning stickers permanent?
Tanning stickers are not permanent. They only cover the area of skin that is not exposed to the UV rays so you don't tan in that spot. They fade as expose them and continue to tan.

Tanning is very bad for your skin. It can cause skin cancer and premature aging. Please use a sunblock SPF 15 or higher any time you are exposed to the sun.

A good solution if you still want the sun-kissed glow of a tan is using a self-tanner. Also spray-on tans from a salon will give you professional results without the harmful exposure.

You can use a tanning sticker with a chemical tan and it will give you the same results.
Reply:if your talking about the stickers you put on to see how much you've tanned, no they aren't permanent you have to put a new sticker on each time you tan in the same place to keep the image on your skin, otherwise that area will tan as well.
Reply:Tan's fade. So it won't stay forever. Also, to get it away you can just not put the sticker on anymore, and it will tan that area also..
Reply:no, if you want to get rid of it dont put the sticker in the same spot and eventually when your in the sun you can get rid of it...its like a temerary tattoo it will come off...hope this helps
Reply:Tanning stickers are far from permanent.

Just stick one on for a few times when you go the tanner. When you no longer want it, just don't put it on.

Suggestion: get self tanner and place it over where the tattoo was, it makes it show up less if you don't want it anymore.

Reply:With sensitive or fair skin you start out very very slowly with the least amount of minutes. You will want to use a SPF (protection from burning) to protect your sensitive skin. The average person starts out with about 15 minutes for the first session. If I were you, I would start with even less then that, maybe 5 or 10 max.
Reply:If you want to use a tan bed firstly you need the right cream. Do not use any tingle products for a start. Use ones for sensitive skin.

Only use the tanbed for 5-6 mins and increase is slowly to no more than 9-10 mins once a week on an erlogine bulb bed or 'stand-up'. You will maintain a healthy glow with out going orange.

Reply:Don't! Have someone help you apply a fake tan, or wear a tinted moisturizer. In 20 years time you'll be pleased that you did.
Reply:If you have really sensitive skin you shouldn't even use a tanning bed. I don't tan very well outdoors and my skin usually burns with little exposure. I only use the tanning bed to get a base. If I have that base then I usually don't burn outdoors. Of course you still have to use sun screen. When I use the tanning bed I start out with 5 min and then work my way up to 10 minutes. I go every other day. I'm not dark by any means but I think I have a nice healthy color. I know that they are bad for you and your skin. But I look at it this way, it's not healthy to burn either. When I have a little color I feel better about myself. Don't know why but it works for me.
Reply:do a spray tan. trust me, much saffer and if you get the right on eit will look just as natural

20 minutes in a tanning bed is equivalantto all day at the beach and increases your rick of skin cancer 30% or more

just ask my english teacher. two years of tanning beds and she had skin cancer that could have been deadly

as bad as they say the actuall suns rays is for you, your be better off with them

thats how bad tanning beds are

also note that if you are fair skined and lighted eyed you are at a great risk for skin cancer anyway without the help of a tanning bed and suns rays.

Tanning beds?
I feel like an expert!

Okay, I own a tanning bed and if you don't lay in it for a long time or haven't been in the sun that much then you don't want to stay in for more than 8 to 12 minutes the first time. Salon tanning beds don't offer the tanning lotion that you need to pretect your skin from UV rays and burning. Go to the drugstore and pick some up. NOT the dark tanning oil, that will kill you if you are just sitting in an oven for 15 minutes, lol.

Look specifically for tanning bed lotion.

Never stay in a tanning bed for more than 15 minutes.

Reply:I would suggest you stay out of the tanning bed until your peeling goes away.It can cause uneven tanning.And apply lotion to your skin to keep it hydrated to prevent peeling in the future.

What is the best tanning lotion to use in a tanning bed?
~You have very fair skin and you are using a tanning bed. Obviously, you aren't concerned about getting skin cancer in about 10 years. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you won't get skin cancer just because you are using a tanning bed. I won't bother you with my anti-tanning lecture because you won't listen and won't care at your age.

So, let me just say one thing. Skin cancer is a bytch and if you are unlucky enough to get the melanoma type, you'll die. Maybe you'll be lucky and only get the basal cell or squamous cell. You may not die if it's caught in time but the treatment sure sucks.

Been there. Done that. Never again.

What is the best way to prevent tanning?
My skin is that way too and I hate to tell you this but you have to stay out of the sun as much as possible. Especially when the sun is strongest between 10-2.

Get a good sunblock that blocks UVB and VUA(Elta Block is one) and also look into sun protective clothing and hats. Most of the suns rays can penetrate normal clothes so they are useless.
Reply:more sunblock or just stay indoors =)
Reply:Why would u not want to get tanned/

Tannign is a good thing unless you are allergic to the sun or something...

The only way i can think of not gettign tanned is to wear jakets but its too hot

Use alot of sunblock

and dont go in the sun for alot of time in one day.

Just be carful
Reply:Stay away from direct sunlight as much as possible. Sunblock does not prevent getting your skin darker, it just lowers your percentage of getting skin cancer.

natural tans are better than orange tans that make people look like they've been tango'd and have streaks down their legs.

try it for a bit then if not i would recoment moisturising cream with a bit of tan in e.g. johnsons

How long should i wait till i can shower after tanning?
I never wait after I tan to shower dude, and my tan is always good, it never ruins it or whatever. You should be fine.
Reply:I have never heard that before. I always tan right away. To keep your tan nice, use moisturizer after showering. Nivea makes a really good one called smooth skin or something like that. Its not scented so guys can use it too. Put the lotion on while you are still kind of damp because it will absorb better. Aloe is good also.
Reply:if you are tanning naturally, you can't wash a tan off - it is produced from within your skin

if you are tanning in a tanning bed and using lotion, shower whenever you want - again, your tan is in your skin, not on it and if you're using the tanning lotions, rinse them off because some of them can irritate your skin

if you are getting a spray tan, wait 24 hours for it to absorb completely

whichever you are doing, make sure you keep your skin moisturized after you shower because it will help your tan last longer!

Should you wear sun tan lotion when going tanning at a salon?

2010-08-23T01:53:00.001-07:00

Any form of rays is damaging to your skin, sunbeds are worse than natural rays, you definitely need to put a factor on when on a sunbed/stand up system. You want to go for lotions with UVA as this filters the rays but allows you to tan still. UVB BLOCKS it all and tanning will be harder.

P20 is the most amazing thing I've used. I have extremely fair, sensitive skin and was going abroad for the first time this year. I was goin on a sunbed to try build up a bit of a tan but for only 3 mins at a time or I would have burnt. I slapped on loads of P20 and managed 6mins with not one red patch or any burning and after I got home and showered I had a visible thong mark!!!

Good luck

This is due to the hole in Ozone layer getting larger thus letting in more UV Rays, Pol seem to think going to tanning salons and laying in sun all day is a cool thing to do.WOW look how brown I am....

There is a price to pay for being ignorant, when it is well known that sun tan lotion is a minimal solution to stop getting carcinomas.....Just be aware that you must be protected at all times even in Salons where you can and do get burnt more easily....cheers

How do I get rid of orange blotches from self tanning my legs?

2010-08-23T01:53:00.000-07:00

I used self tanner last Saturday and it came out really dark and bad so I've been scrubbing my legs with a loofah every time I shower but there are still patches on the tops of my feet and on my legs. Any suggestions for getting rid of them? I'm gonna get a mystic tan on Monday night (they work for me!) and I'd like all these spots gone by then but I don't want to make my legs really dry by scrubbing too hard.

How do I get rid of orange blotches from self tanning my legs?
Unfortunately thats what those self tanning creams do, they dye your skin. Some are orange some not, it all depends on the brand.

You have to just let it wear off with washings. But if you put a good tan over it, it may cover it and not be noticable.

Otherwise I would say start scrubbing and then put lots of body lotion on for the dry skin.
Reply:Don't scrub away at it. I used lemon juice on a cotton ball and wiped it on my leg then left it for a bit. Then when I showered, the tanner faded alot. Baking soda or body hair bleach will help. Also maybe take a bath or go swimming for a bit. that should reduce the orange-ness. If you do scrub, do it gently.

Tanning Bed: what helps get u darker? Arms/legs still light. Help?

I've been going for about 3 weeks. My stomach and back are getting a pretty color but my arms/legs and chest are still hardly getting darker. I'm naturally light skinned.

Also, I don't trust whatever they have to clean the beds with. Is there anything I could take to clean it extra before getting in it? I'm a germophobe. But considering what may be on the bed I just want some extra protection.

Tanning Bed: what helps get u darker? Arms/legs still light. Help?
It is typical for the core of your body to tan faster than your legs and arms since those have less fat. You should use a dark tanning lotion, like hawaiin trop that may have some advancer in it for speeding up the process. Try using different positions in the bed to get an all over even tan. You could always take some handy anti-bacterial wet wipes in with you to wipe down the bed.

theyre so much easierrr

and last longer

and theyre not dangerous like tanning bedss
Reply:you can bring a cleaner that safe for acrylic, make sure you check the bottle but something like fantastic might work. Also to get those areas darker I would suggest a bronzing lotion or a hot action, which will cause a tingling sensation for awhile but will bring the blood to the surface of the skin and make the pigment change faster.

Is it ok to lay in the tanning bed several days in a row?
Well I'm going to be a spoil sport and tell you that the year before last I went for that super tan in the tanning bed, and last summer I had 3 moles removed that tested positive for melanoma cancer. It didn't start in the tanning bed, I've always been a sun worshiper. But the DR told me the tanning bed accelerated it. You can get skin cancer from outside and a tanning bed. I now use Jergens self tanning lotion.
Reply:oh my gosh. that doesnt sound good! maybe you could look into a spray tan if you need it done in such a short amount of time.
Reply:if you are red that means you are burnt and if you keep going if you are burnt thats BAD! You really shouldn't use them period but if you are burnt, depending how bad I would wait a few days. If you want a tan really fast then do the spray on kind. If your Tummy is burnt then you can cover it and still go. But if you are burnt in several areas I would just wait.
Reply:it is not good to tan every day. your skin will become very dry and you are obviously starting to burn. you need to moisturize your poor skin before you get wrinkles.
Reply:Artificial tanning, itself, isn't healthy to begin with.
Reply:No!!!! At most, go every other day. But be smart about it! 24 days is plenty of time to get a great tan. But if you burn and have to avoid the tanning bed altogether while your skin heals, then you are wasting time.

Invest in a tanning lotion that will help speed along color development and go to a high pressure bed to maximize your time in the bed without burning. Please only go every other day though! It's not worth a bad burn that could potentially lead to skin cancer down the line!
Reply:I am sorry to tell you this but you shouldn't do it.There is no healthy and safe to tan.Skin cancer is rising at a higher rate.When you tan your skin with sun or a tanning bed you are exposing your skin to UVA and UVB rays and these damage your skin.The best news are that there are now a lot of self tanners(yes,those that come in bottles)that can give you very good results and they dont damage your skin.They have been proven to be safe.Plus there are a lot choices and they can you natural looking results also.Check out Neutrogena and L'oreal self tanners , they can be found at drugstores and they have very good ones...goog luck.Do it for your health and skin. Dont fry your skin under the sun or a tanning bed.

Reply:You should not go to a tanning salon. It is dangerous for your health, and in 10 years you will be very sorry when you notice your skin is starting to age more quickly! Use artificial tanning products, they are really good these days.
Reply:Its not good. At tanning salons, they are required by law to make sure you do not tan more than once every 24-48 hours(depending on the salon)....So...if you tan at 1pm on monday, it isn't okay to tan at 11am on tuesday. It really really damages the skin. And tanning beds are bad for you anyways. If you aren't normally able to catch a tan, it is doing more harm than good. Not being someone who natually tans means your body doesn't produce enough melonin (the pigment in your skin). When a person tans, the remaining melonin molecules replicate and produce more, which gives you the bronze color. But if you don't normally tan, then they are unable to replicate as quickly, so you burn much more. Which in turns gives you a much, much, much higher risk of getting melanoma (Skin Cancer).

Reply:Hi, Im also ver pale, and I find it hard to find any sprays or lotions that dont make me go orange, so which are the ones that make you go dark ?

Anyways I wouldnt Say Lindsey Lohan is vey pale. I think she has a rosy complexion and she is no way near as pale as me. So obvioulsy if she has got a tan then she has had it done professionally.

I have tried all the tanning body Lotions and I find that the ones for fair skin arent very good and you dont get a good result from putting it on everyday for ages it just doesnt seem to get any darker.

And if I use the one for darker skin I end up streaky etc.

I have been using the Dove one for normal to Dark Skin Tones. Its good but still leaves the skin orange, and I also exfoliated before Ive been using it and Im still getting a streaky and it onyl these bits that keep getting darker. it doesnt look too bad, but wat im going to do is continue for another few days and then start using one for light skin to top up every few days as I have the base tan of using the Dove.

I think dove is bay far the best one Ive used and I have tried then all, and until this on I didnt like the other as they all have a really sickly smell and some dont rub in as well as others. I like the simple one as it has no smell and you get a good result with the fair skin one, but it just takes ages to rub in and to dry. It ok if you have alot of time on your hands.

But I think if this Dove one doenst work and In the next few day i get more orange, im just going to put up with being pale, and Im just going to make sure my skin i healthy and glowing buy exfoliation and moisturiseing with a bodty shimmer like Body Gloss by Palmers. The best exfoliatior is Buffy from lush, Leaves the skin glowing and healthy and moisturiesed.

if you go like twice, is that alright? do they work? do they make you orange? and when your in the bed thing is it scary or hott or anything?? thanks!

Tanning bed question?!!??
its not a good idea to go twice in one day..you can but dont, best is if you go every other day and do 7-10min(half decent bed) per session...to get a nice tan you need to have at least 4-5 sessions and depending on some beds even thats not enough...unless you want to spend more money and get high-end bed package...most reputable tanning salons have fans blowing cold air in their beds ..i find tanning to be fun and relaxing..but dont over doit ..in the long run not good for your skin..i usually go tanning b4 a vacation just to get a nice base going
Reply:Twice in one day? No, that's not good for you. They never make me orange, and they work really well. It's not scary or hot as long as the temperature is right with the fan (which normally you can control the fan) Good luck!
Reply:Tanning is never going to be safe.

Tanning beds do not make you orange (fake tanning lotion tends to) It isn't scary in the bed, many place music some high end beds even mist you. It does tend to be hot but not anything impossible to withstand.
Reply:twice in one day...no...orange..no..hott yess...or very warm rather...scary not so much unless you dont like small places.
Reply:if you go very often to the point where you are "too tan", they can make you look orange-brown. its not scary, you pull the top of the bed over yourself but there is a 2-3 inch crack all the way around, so you aren't completely sealed inside. it can get hot if you are in there for say..20 minutes, but its very relaxing. dont forget that it can cause cancer!
Reply:Two times won't make much of a difference. You really don't start getting a good base tan until after 4 or 5 visits.

No they aren't scary.

No, they don't make you orange... DO NOT try to buy self tanning stuff at the store or they WILL make you orange.
Reply:The bed is not scary or hot, but I do suggest bringing an ipod or mp3 player along because the noise from the bed can be annoying. Go for a short time your first time, like maybe 10-15 mintues. Yes, your lighter skin toned area's (buttox and breasts) will start to turn red after your first and second time, but that will go away, especially if you apply a moisturizer after you go tanning. I suggest you go everyday for a week for 15 minutes. That's what I did, but usually going only twice will not make you tan, you have to go like 5 times.
Reply:I worked with a girl that went 2-3 times a week, her skin got leathery and her ovaries got messed up bad. She can't have kids anymore. Having that must direct exposure to radiation is just going to end your life quicker. Do it naturally or not at all unless your health doesn't matter, then do it all the time.
Reply:be sure they are clean because if the person before you had crabs you can get it too. HAVE FUN!!!!! :)
Reply:Done in moderation and while following precautions (wearing eye wear, tanning lotion, not going excessively) it is OK. But as with anything if it is abused it is harmful to you. It can get hot at times and my advise would be to get out if you start feeling hot. Make sure you put some lotion on your skin after wards and perhaps some chap-stick on your lips before you go. Take it slow though... it is still something that will damage your skin if you do not use it right and risk sun poisoning, aging of skin, and cancer if abused.
Reply:You should never go get tanned twice in one day.. you will be tanned as it is just after one go.!

yes, going twice or tooo often can make you turn orange.. which doesn't even look like a nice tan.. try going twice every 2 weeks or something.. believe me, it works so beautifully! All my friends think i went on vacation or something! you'll look gorgeous.

nope.. it's not really all that hot.. just lukewarm.. you may find it a bit uncomfortable at first, but as you keep giong, it gets much better!!

have fun, !

Reply:Tanning period is not safe. They used to think that the uvb rays cause cancer, but people who used to tan have gotten cancer because the dose of uva rays is twice as much as you would get from the sun.
Reply:just try it
Reply:thrice also.
Reply:Exposure to UV rays, be it the sun or tanning beds can always increase your chances of getting skin cancer. Of course, this does increase more so according to how often you go. Tanning more than once a day is also a very bad idea. Once daily is the maximum.

It will not make you orange, no. They will give you a tan very similar to what you'd get tanning outdoors in the sun. Some beds can get pretty hot, but they all have fan controls inside the bed where you can adjust the fan to cool you off. A lot of tanning beds also have a fan outside the bed in each room, for a little extra cooling. It's not scary at all, unless you are claustrophobic or something.

How do i get tan without going tanning of any sort and without using the lotions that make you look orange?

2010-08-23T01:51:00.001-07:00

i dont want to look unevenly colored or have to sit naked and dry for hours something quick that won't wash off and thats cheap and lasting helllpppppp

How do i get tan without going tanning of any sort and without using the lotions that make you look orange?
use san trope self tan lotion. it goes on evenly and you can add more after the first day if its too light, or exfoliate the day after if its to dark, to tone it down abit
Reply:go tan. you dont have to lay down still. just do something in the sun in your bathing suit. like yardwork. or go to the beach %26amp; swim or something :)
Reply:listen to me...goto one of the ski/snowboarding places...check the weather there and go when the weathers good, like the suns out...ski or snowboard and have fun...youll tan like crazy
Reply:Spray paint?
Reply:you could try that spray tanning stuff...you go to a booth and stand there, hold your breath and they airbrush you
Reply:try a VACATION (it works)
Reply:Get a spray tan. Most people are afraid that spray tans will make them turn orange, but if you exfoliate before you go and you rub in the spray really well, you get a nice even glow. A senior took me and some of my freshmen friends to do this before homecoming and it was so fun! It works really well too! Just don't use an oil-based lotion after the tan or it will come off. The tan lasts for about a week and costs around 15-20 dollars.

Tanning lotion?

what kind of lanning lotion will not make u turn orange or put strikes in ur skin? and were is it sold?

Tanning lotion?
Jergins Natural glow works great for me. I am very fair skinned so I chose the light one and it's great! just make sure you wash your hands after applying
Reply:My aunt and I both use Coppertone's "Endless Summer". It comes in a green bottle, that has the tanner and lotion seperated, but they come out together when you pump it to apply.

I can't describe it very well, so here's a picture: http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/18/b...

It's sold pretty much everywhere, Meijer, Target... and I've never had a BIG problem with spots or streaks. Every once in a while I will get some streaks or spots, but it's easy to touch up and fix.

You could also try the spray on tan at tanning salons. As long as you do exactly what they say and remember to wash off your hands (esp. between your fingers) and wrists, it should turn out great.
Reply:for a tanning bed? or for a self tanner? it depends on what type of bronzer it has in it.........dha bronzers don't turn you orange..........email me if you have more questions i used to work at a tanning salon
Reply:well i get the bannana boat tanning lotion! all tanning lotions will get you orange, you just have to spread it out evenly.(dont forget to wash your hands right away after you put it on. before putting it all over your body, i suggest you test it on you stomack on a little part. that way if it doesnt turn out good it wont show.

here is what i ues. oh ya you can get it at walgreens!

Tanning beds?

2010-08-23T01:50:00.003-07:00

i went twice already with my membership. the first time 6 minutes and then the second day 8 minutes. i got no sunburn or no results. ??

Tanning beds?
I'd go maybe 12 minutes then. If this gets you no results, then try for 15. You must not burn easily, so you can go longer and need to go longer for results. The amount of time you have gone would be for a fair skinned person just starting out. I get a lil burnt starting out at 6 minutes, but not too bad... and Im fair skinned, burn a lil before tanning.

Also ask when the bulbs were last changed. If its been awhile they are weaker. Be careful when bulbs are newly changed, you burn quicker.
Reply:Or stop wasting your money and energy on a tacky fake bake.
Reply:It takes at least 8-10 visits to see a tan in those beds. Be patient and don't increase the time too quickly. I tan really slow but can keep a good amount of color after the first 10 sessions.

Okay I know whatu're all going to say don't do it but I'm aware of the risk I just have a few questions.. Like about how much dos it costo go in? and if you go in for longer time? i know prices vary but i just want to know around how much

Tanning beds?
try a spray tan i think its about $40 but it lasts so much longer, like 3 weeks or so and is safer
Reply:lay in the sun.Im not even fkn kidding.When you go to a tanning bed you look so fake.Its just like spray on tan,you end up coming out with this wierd orangish color.Thats NOT sexy at all.
Reply:for hair care and skin care and more related

just step into
Reply:pale is the new tan =]

maybe you can use tanning cream or lay in the sun. a lot of people get skin cancer or spots. but if you really wanna do it then once every week or 2. it kills skin cells i guess. for like a month its 50.00 where i live.
Reply:This greatly depends on where you go. I went to a little salon around my house and spent $30 for one month unlimited tanning. I only went once because their beds were weak beds, I didn't flush or even get warm in the bed. It felt like a waste of my time. On the other hand I have gone to a place here in orlando to do a high pressure tan and spent $30 on the one tan alone. Some tanning salons will charge you up front for a package, but at most salons you should be able to pay for tans one at a time. I would say for a regular bed, not turbo or HP, and for one tan it would be around 6-18 dollars. If you are not going into a new high-tech super power bed, it will be on the low end. If you are at a super nice salon with a bed that spritzes you with cold mist and a chocolate awaits you on the pillow - you get the idea.

Good news though! When you call around to ask for prices, usually they will give you a couple free tans or at least a discount on lotion minimum...definitely ask about it, they will try to use bonuses to get you in their salon as opposed to another salon. All the salons are dying to bid for a new customer's business. If you call around a bit, I can almost promise you that you could get some free stuff. You can check out most of the salons in your area on free and discounted tans and figure out which one you want to go to permanently and not spend hardly any money doing it.

As far as the time, it depends on your skin type. When you go in they will suggest a time that is proper for your skin's condition and the bed you choose. If you are very white and burn and freckle and peel they might suggest a very short time to begin with. You can burn in the beds fast so take their advice, especially if you are tanning nude for the first time....ouch. Trust me.

The price for the session unfortunately is never prorated according to the minutes you stay...at least thats how it is everywhere I've been. If you're getting in a bed you can stay in for 15 minutes and you are encouraged to only go in for 8, it will be the same price. There is always a top amount of time for each bed that any person is allowed to stay in, and you will never get to stay in longer than that, they will not let you due to insurance reasons. In addition, most salons will make you wait 24 hours before repeating a session. I have been to some that will let you go in anytime the next business day even if it's only 16 hours later, and also I have been in some that make you wait at least 24 hours. There are some beds that they suggest you give your skin a 2 days break, but I've never had that enforced on me.

I'll spare you the lecture about skin health (I get to hear it all the time) but in case you were interested, the spray tan varies quite a bit in price where I am from, I have seen it for $10 and I have seen it for $40...I believe the cheaper one is for the booth (Mystic) spray tan and the more expensive ones are for an airbrush artist who hand sprays the tanning formula on you, which I have been told makes the tan more even and less streaky than the booth.

If you have any more questions you can email me.

Hope I helped

Ive been to 3 diffrent tanning salons and the cheapest is 5 dollars per visit and the highest ive had is 12 dollars per visit ... but if your planning on going often you can get what they call a package of minutes .. depending on how many minutes changes the cost i always go by 1 visit so i dont know the average prices for the packages ... and for the tanning salons ive been to the times in which you tan like 5 min to 20 min the cost is the same.. also! ive been tanning for almost a year now and do it very often and im not an orange color im a golden brown kinda color .. im a brunette and i notice that mostly blondes get the weird orangish color

Tanning Lotion For Africans ????

Tanning? any quick solution.?

2010-08-23T01:50:00.000-07:00

Fake-N-Bake. There are many good self tanners on the market.

Make sure you ex foliate to get the dead skin off first, esp on knees, elbows %26amp; ankles. Then Blend Blend Blend. More light coats are better than one thick coat. There is less chance of streaking. Be careful where you skin folds so that you don't collect tanner in the folds and make lines. IE wrists etc. Wash your hands so that you don't end up with tanned palms.

I like to use the fake tanners in addition to getting some sun, usually after 3 PM.

God Bless You, ;-)

Tanning with an SPF 45 sunscreen.?

2010-08-23T01:49:00.003-07:00

How long should I be outside when I have the sunscreen on? I don't have any 15 or lower. I am fair skinned. Maybe 30 minutes outside...45?

Tanning with an SPF 45 sunscreen.?
if u use a sunscreen with such a high sun protection factor, u probably wont get any result... normally i use a suntan lotion and not a sunscreen
Reply:considering your light skinned, i defiantely wouldnt use anything lower than at least 30. i would probably only stay out for 40 minutes at a time. go inside and wait about ten minutes. and check in a mirror to see if your getting any color.

:]
Reply:It really doesn't matter. It just means that you have 45x more time than the amount of time you could go outside and not get burnt not wearing sunscreen...I'd tan for 20-30 minutes, then you should have a nice and even tan...but wear sunglasses and a hat so you protect your eyes and face from premature aging.

Better to get some sun naturally, or use makeup.

Reply:Over a period of time your skin will begin to look old and dried out. Also, you are risking getting skin cancer. Artificial tanning with lotions is safe and looks natural. The use of tanning lights and the sun can do damage.
Reply:i dont go tanning at all.. but i think if i did i would just do the spray tan.. or u can just get a tan like go and put on wat you tan in.. and just go work outside then you can get a tan and still get stuff done..lol..
Reply:tanning is bad. i don't go. if you go once a week or more, A LOT, it is bad. this is because the UV rays are much more closer to your skin compared to if you went sun tanning. if you go frequently, it may cause cancer and pre-mature wrinkles.

Tanning lotion...?

2010-08-23T01:49:00.001-07:00

Anyone use Jergin's Natural Glow? I heard when you're pregnant your hormones can change the chemical reaction to certain things. I'd hate for it to come out a weird color. Thanks.

Tanning lotion...?
When I was pregnant I used self tanners all the time! I didn't want to lay out in the sun but I also didn't want to be so white! I had no weird reactions to any self tanners. I used Jergins Natural glow and I liked the results. If you want a darker tan try St. Tropez.. it works really well! Congrats on your baby!

Tanning while pregnant??

2010-08-23T01:49:00.000-07:00

is it true...when you first become pregnant and the embryo isnt very old, going to the tanners will kill it??

Tanning while pregnant??
Possibly yes... my doctor told me not to tan... I listened.. and when I went to cancel my sessions, the guy tried to talk me back into it saying he knew a girl who was 6 months and still tanning... but I said no way... listen to the doctor- ask them what they say... but I highly don't recommend tanning while preggo.
Reply:Do some kind of damage, that ultraviolet light, be careful
Reply:I know your not supossed to tan while pregnant, and the chances of miscarriage are in the the first few months, so I guess it is possible. Use the spray tan machine.
Reply:I bet.tanning is heat.You better stop.
Reply:Tanning while pregnant can seriously harm the baby. Do not tan in a salon. I work in a tanning salon and we do not allow pregnant women to tan. There is too high of a risk. There is self tanner that you can use, that's what I have been using throughout my pregnancy :)
Reply:the rays from the tanning bed can harm the baby they put warning on stuff for a reaon and im sure they dont want to loose money from thousands of pregnant women but its federally proven that they will hurt you!
Reply:Have you tried Johnson and Johnsons holiday skin. It is a moisturiser that when used daily builds to a natural looking tan and it isnt as messy and horrible as fake tan.

I found that when i became pregnant i couldnt use it but there is another brand on the market called Dove Summer Glow - i highly recommend it. Some people frown and say any chemicals on the skin is bad but from what i have read the active ingredient only penetrates the first layer of the skin so it should be safe.

I would steer clear of sun beds - a friend of mine just had a cancer burnt off and it wasnt pretty.

Can anyone recommend a good self tanning lotion that doesnt smell yuck?

I have tried so many different brands and they all have that underlying "fake tan" smell which I cant stand smelling on my skin!

Does anyone know of a good smelling one??

Can anyone recommend a good self tanning lotion that doesnt smell yuck?
Any tanning lotion by California Tan or Designer Skin will do the trick!

My favorite is 'Intrigue' by Designer Skin. It smells good and it has silicone in it (which hydrates your skin all day long).

Designer Skin has a lotion called 'Halo' which has an SPF4. It is awesome because it blocks some of the UV rays, but lets in uvb rays (the less harmful sun rays).

I try to avoid tanning in natural sunlight. The sun goes through all 7 layers of your skin where as tanning beds only go through the top 3 layers. But laying in the sun is so relaxing!

I would stay away from cheap brands like Banana Boat or Jergins. They tend to have sugars in the lotion that dry out your skin (which could cause breakouts and aging).
Reply:Coke the drink.
Reply:Neutrogena's build a tan is the best. I it looks like a real tan. Not orange and doesn't smell bad. Be sure to exfoliate your skin before applying so it looks good and last long.

How long do tanning lotions and mystic tans last?

and are they safe for you?

How long do tanning lotions and mystic tans last?
tanning lotions(if your talking about sunnless tanners) are a stain, and they come off in a week unless you keep applying more. mystic tans are spray tans, they can last up to four weeks i've heard. they are proven safe, try it out.
Reply:A mystic tan last about a week to 10 days.A self tanning lotion might be a little longer if you reapply it for a few days.Just make sure to exfoliate before using any fake tanner or you could come out orange,uneven and streaky.I did the Mystic Tan I was orange with lines everywhere!I hated it.I know its bad for you but I still use the tanning beds.Much more natural color if you ask me.Also no smell!
Reply:I think the last from 1-2 weeks. I've never heard they were bad for you unless you're allergic.

WHiCH IS WORSE:TANNING IN A TANNING BED OR UNDER THE SUN??

2010-08-23T01:47:00.003-07:00

They are both harmful to your skin, but if you go under the sun and put on suntan lotion it would be less harmful to your skin. Also you pay money to go to a tanning bed you can lay out in the sun for free. Go with under the sun.

WHiCH IS WORSE:TANNING IN A TANNING BED OR UNDER THE SUN??
both can cause skin cancer, but i think the sun has more dangerous radioactive waves.
Reply:tanning bed. 20 minutes in a tannig bed is the same as being out in the sun for 3 hours.
Reply:A tanning bed is worse due to the direct UV rays against your skin. Although both are bad and can increase your risk of cancer, lying outside would be safer.

Reply:They're both not incredibly healthy.

But on the bright side, UVA rays help by delievering vitamin D which is important.

Tanning in a bed is concentrated, and only during a 20 minute period, while under the sun usually takes much longer.

They're about the same. It just depends on what you prefer.

Reply:under the sun because u have a time limited so u dont get a sunburn. Trust sun sucks i got a really bad sunburn so saty inside honey!!!!
Reply:Tanning bed, because vitamin D won't be able to work. Under the sun you got not only a good tan, also a good health (because vitamin D, wich helps you to have a well work in all your body, even your bones believe me. It is all about calcium!)
Reply:Tanning bed, because the rays are direct and short unlike the sun which is spread out and indirect.
Reply:thanking bed cuz at least sun is natural.
Reply:tanning bed, plus it costs. why go somewhere to pay for it when you can catch it in your own back yard
Reply:I Think Tanning in a tanning bed is worse because you can get burnt very easly if u stay in the bed to long! If you are under the sun all you have to do to not get burnt is put on Suntan lotion every Hour and you will be fine! But make SURE you put suntan lotion on!
Reply:I love it when people say stuff that is not even true. Tanning beds are safer then the sun, somtimes. The majority of them dont even tan, I bet.

The girl that said tanning for 20 mins in a bed is like 3 hours in the sun is wrong. It's 8 hours.

Tanning beds are a controlled enviornment and have a time limit. Unlike the sun, you do not have a time limit and you have no way of changing the temp of the sun.

Yes both are bad, but the sun is worse.

Oh my, and you DO HAVE A TIME LIMIT IN A BED! You CANNOT just lay under the bulbs for 8 hours.. stupid people!
Reply:both have harmful rays of radiation, but a tanning bed is much, much worse. it's not worth using a tanning bed just to get a tan because they are very harmful to your skin because the rays are more focused and enhanced to give you the best tan......or melanoma!
Reply:both are very bad for you but sun tanning is better then tanning beds.

no they have special tanning products you can usually purchase at the tanning places

Reply:Yes you can bring your own or usually they will have different kinds you can purchase. You can always ask them what kind they would suggest.
Reply:Most salons will try and sell you their tanning products and lotions, but I guess you can bring along your own.
Reply:spf. 30
Reply:yep bring your own
Reply:I've heard that regular tanning lotion is bad for the beds, so make sure you get the kind that is made for indoor tanning. You don't want to ruin their stuff ^_^
Reply:use ur own. spf-15 wud help.
Reply:Yes, you can bring your own, but make sure it is for use in tanning beds. The tanning salons usually say that oils and products not designed for indoor use damage their beds.

You can always buy tanning stuff at the salon, but I've found it to be a whole lot cheaper online. Ebay usually has some great deals on tanning stuff, and there are a ton of online stores too...such as lotionbarn.com, lotion4you.com, etc.

I like Designer Skin products. They have a wide range of lotions, from no bronzer, to one bronzer, to multiple bronzers, and lotions with and without tingle. My 2 favorites are Designer Skin Spellbound, which has 4 bronzers, and Black, which has 20x bronzers. Both have the silicone emulsion formula, which makes your skin feel really soft and silky after use. I'd definitely recommend a lotion with bronzers if you want to see results faster. They will help boost your color a lot.

I have tried about every brand out there, and have found that Designer Skin's products get me much darker than anything else I've used. But you might be different...so if you want, you could always try some sample packets of different things. The salon probably has those, and many places online do too. The only thing with that is...most of them are at least $5 each, so after you've tried quite a few, you really could've bought a full sized bottle of lotion.
Reply:Well it depends.

Most tanning places will want you to buy their products but if you don't want to have to buy new lotion then bring your own.

I would recommend getting a good brand with a low SPF about 15 so you don't damage your skin too much.

I work at at a tanning salon, and i do not disagree that most staff are not knowledgable. However, my manager insists that we try samples of each product, thus, we can properly distinguish excellent lotions from the lotions that do nothing and are a huge waste of money. The cheaper lotions honestly do nothing. If you are not ready to splurge, just use a good moisterizer from home to keep your skin soft and moist. Expensive lotions do make a noticable differenece however. As someone posted, Designer Skin is a good choice and I would suggest using either Intrigue or Spellbound. Those are two pricey ones indeed, but they helped me reach the darkest I have ever been able to get, and since they contain a silicone, my skin is veeeery soft and feels amazing(Wow, I feel like I am making a sales pitch how emberasing). They go for about 70$ Canadian. Anyways, if you perhaps want a slightly cheaper lotion, the Tattoo lotions are also quite good and are about 20 dollars less. The high end austrialan gold line is also pretty good, but if you are going to spend that kind of money, your better off with the spellbound or intrigue lotions! hope i can be of help!

The best indoor tanning lotion? For tanning bed.?
Personally, I have tried several different kinds of lotions for the tanning bed. I've even spent over $50 before for a bottle. Either they stunk or made my skin break out. And, of course, most salons will not take lotions back once used. My cousin recommended that I try using Johnson's (Creamy Oil) Baby Lotion. (White bottle with pink cap.) I started using this last year and it works like a charm. Not only does the oil in it help me tan faster, it keeps my skin smooth. It also helps the dreaded "tanning smell" in case you tan on your lunch hour or you have somewhere to go afterwards and don't want to stink. Like I said, it works for me. It's a whole lot cheaper, so I recommend you giving it a try. It helps keep the skin moisturized after tanning too. Good luck!
Reply:Unfortunately, I can almost guarantee that if your tanning salon finds out that you are using anything other than indoor tanning lotions in the bed you will be strongly repremanded. The reason is that indoor tanning lotions are created for use on the acrylics that are used on the beds. Other lotions and oils leave a film on the beds that will cloud the acrylic, which then makes it virtually useless. The acrylics also become very hard to clean because the excess oils do not wipe clean from the bed, even with the sanitizer. I worked in a tanning salon for four years and I know the pains of trying to clean a bed after someone has used other lotions and oils! Please do not do this!

The best line to buy from is called Designer Skin. A spinoff brand from Designer Skin is also the Splash! line. These lotions are VERY good to use. Many of the new ones have antibacterial ingredients that help reduce the "after tan odor" as well as anti-aging and skin firming ingredients. Basically any lotion from this line will do you a world of good. Designer Skin is usually pretty pricey whereas Splash! should be much lower in price.

Does exercising before tanning help to increase the chance of tanning faster and/or darker? If not, any tips?

2010-08-23T01:47:00.000-07:00

Excercising immediately before you tan increases circulation. This increase in circulation helps move the melanin around more evenly. But, it doesn't necessarily make you tan any darker.. just evens out the tan better.

You can get the same effect by buying a hot lotion (which also increases circulation in the skin). I always recommend a lotion when tanning. It helps moisturize the skin and keep it moist during the UV process (which leeches moisture from your skin).

Does exercising before tanning help to increase the chance of tanning faster and/or darker? If not, any tips?
I live in Florida, so I go for a long walk in the beach area. Combine sun, exercises!!!
Reply:Well what actually happens is, when you exercise you sweat, and your sweat leaves excess oil on your skin. That oil has the same effect as putting baby oil or aloe oil on your skin before you tan. You do burn | tan faster and (depending on your skin type) either darker or redder.

Its not particularly good for you. Picture oiling up a juicy roast before you put it in the oven. You're basically getting your skin ready to cook :) heehee. Enjoy though, and keep your face and neck in the shade. Even a little sun burn to this area will damage you for life.

And if however you do end up burning, run a lukewarm bath and put 'Rooibos' teabags (if you can find any in your country) in your bath.

It takes the pain away amazingly! And you heal faster.

Good luck!

How much does temperature matter when it comes to tanning??

Well i really want to start toning my skin again by sitting outside but i havent been able to being winter an all but feb is comming and here in MD its usually in the 40s and if sunny the uv index will be "3 Moderate"....can i tan in this? of course im not looking for a summer tan but i want to get darker and blend some acne marks...

How much does temperature matter when it comes to tanning??
It doesn't matter at all. Though in the winter the UV index is relatively low.

Tanning will not help your acne discoloration in the long run.
Reply:just use fake tan, tanning is not good for your skin, yeh you might like it now but in the long run, your skin will get wrinkly and it'll make you look older
Reply:tanning beds cost like, 4 dollars and 10 minutes of tanning is the equivelant to 2-3 hours in the sun.

and they help clear up acne.

AND you don't have to sit out in the cold.

i don't know why anyone would ever waste their time going outside.

What is the best way to tan quickly without using that self tanner stuff but rather using a tanning bed?

2010-08-23T01:45:00.002-07:00

They have different kind of beds. A regular one, medium one, then a high one. I would recommend doing the regular one first probley about 2-3times. Then go ahead and jump to the highest bed BUT don't go the full length because you will burn. I find that the stand up bed(which is one of the strongest) is best.

using a tanning bed

laying out in the sun

sprayy tan
Reply:Abroad!
Reply:Go every other day / every day and slowly build up your time that you stay in. Start with 10 minutes and add about 2 minutes each time. But go slowly, if you notice a burn skip a day or 2. Whenever I need a quick tan for an event, I go every single day for a week and I'm good. Just be careful not to burn!!
Reply:everyday for 15 to 20 minutes and use lotion before going in and use after lotion to help keep your tan. I will be going tanning here pretty soon,I start around march or April.I always get a Great tan.Make sure the beds are clean and that it is not over 100 in the room.Always make sure the goggles are clean and where them.I don;t where anything when I tan.
Reply:Some tanning salons offer a "spray tan" that doesn't have that orange look. Alot of celebrities use it, for a quick tan.
Reply:you could use a tanning bed if you wish to maybe die quicker?

those things are nasty apparantly worse than laying in the sun, use a spray tan if being "tanned" is a must for you. i would do some research before getting into a tanning bed thats for sure!

What kind of tanning lotion can you use at a tanning salon?

2010-08-23T01:45:00.001-07:00

the stuff they sell is SO EXPENSIVE. Is it necessary?

What kind of tanning lotion can you use at a tanning salon?
It really DOES make a difference (at least in my opinion) ...the tanning lotions have so much more vitamins and antioxidants than other store lotions. Healthy %26amp; moisturized skin tans much faster and looks better (not wrinkly and dry), but they do jack the prices up on tanning lotion at the salons (they do have to make money ya know) but you can get tanning lotions much cheaper on the internet. Try lotionsource.com or lotion4you.com. Lotions are about half off retail price! A good cheap tanning lotion is Brown Envy by Synergy...good luck
Reply:You can buy cheaper brands at any drug store and they work just as well.Make sure you moisturize a lot and exfoliate around knees, elbows and ankles, or it looks funny,even fake tanning will give you an uneven tan, good luck and happy tanning!!
Reply:well.. Im guessing if they sell it AT the tanning salon, and they dont recommend that you use other products.. its probably for a good reason.. It may be expensive, but thats just because the tannong salon knows that you havta buy in order to get a good tan. Its a great marketing scheme called "supply and Demand"

Is there a tanning product that helps pale people to develop a real tan (not fake)?

2010-08-23T01:45:00.000-07:00

yeah, we bought some stuff in Maui that is a tan accelerator, it is called Maui Babe browning lotion. you can get it on ebay, but I highly recommend going to Maui and getting it there!

Is there a tanning product that helps pale people to develop a real tan (not fake)?
Johnson's make a cream called holiday lotion, its in a yellow bottle. Its like moisturiser but gradually helps to build a light tan. You can get it at any supermarket and it actually works , which i was so suprised about. It made my legs a golden brown colour
Reply:Yes. Melanotan is a drug that was developed to trigger the body's natural tanning ability.

Tanning is caused by an increased release of the pigment melanin into the skin's cells after exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

Everything else is strictly a coloring product.

Would I still tan if I wore makeup in a tanning bed?

2010-08-23T01:44:00.002-07:00

like foundation, etc...or is it better to wear no makeup at all? i heard UV rays go thru anything..

Would I still tan if I wore makeup in a tanning bed?
Unless you are wearing mineral makeup you will still tan. Mineral makeup contains ingredients that have natural UV blocking properties. Keep in mind wearing cosmetics under direct exposure may cause you to tan unevenly.
Reply:Yes but it is strongly advises to not wear make up. If you get sweaty, your makeup will run.
Reply:I'm sure you'd still tan but i wouldnt wanna get all sweaty and hot and my makeup melting all over my face and into my pores...
Reply:You can wear your makeup. UV Rays go thru anything except sunscreen.

just get out in the sun more and the fresh air will do you good
Reply:Yes you can tan while your pregnant. There are no studies that show that UVA/UVB is harmful to an unborn fetus. However, if you are in your third trimester you should avoid tanning in any type of bed that requires you to lay flat on your back. I would suggest a booth. Better yet, skip the tanning bed, get a spray tan and save yourself the added misery of a sun burn, while your pregnant! Not to mention that exposure to tanning can intensify the long term effects that stretch marks leave.
Reply:Please tell me you aren't pregnant.

Seriously, you can't even spell!
Reply:Do you mean pregnant? In a pagent? Thats all I can think of.

I want a tan in the winter! I don't want to go to the tanning salon what should I do?

2010-08-23T01:43:00.003-07:00

lotion like Jergans or something?!??!

I want a tan in the winter! I don't want to go to the tanning salon what should I do?
you can go to the tanning salon and get a spray tan...the tan will be real noticeable and last at least 4 days before it starts flaking off.

you can buy your own tanning lotion from drug stores and department stores (varying prices)

ive been using jergans lotion for about 2 years now and i think it gets the job done. i use a darker color in the summer and use the lightest color in the winter so it doesnt look to fake or natural. if you want to look natural jergans (or many other gradual tanning lotions) will be your best choice.
Reply:i have tried those lotion tanners and the spray ones they all turn out orange..
Reply:Jergens is great, but I went the other day and did the Mystic Tan, the airbrush one for a little more money and I love it...I will go back..it takes 1 minute and is very easy and looks so great without damaging your skin....it lasts for a week or so and I totally recommend you do this........
Reply:i use jergens natural glow. use medium if your actually medium tone, light if your light to medium and dark, if well your dark. that way it wont make you orange.

its pretty gradiual but doesnt make you orange. but i have a tanning bed so i use those both.

Is the ultrabronze tanning bed better than regular tanning beds?

2010-08-23T01:43:00.000-07:00

actually it should be. bronzing rays (UVA) go deeper into your skin to hold color longer and better. they also take away the red tint that you might posess when you are tanning. and they are usually not as hot temperature wise!

Is a standup tanning booth stronger then a laydown tanning bed?

2010-08-20T00:13:00.002-07:00

It all depends on the tanning salon. Some salons have lay down beds and stand up ones where the stand up ones would be stronger. Other places like Hollywood Tans for example, only have stand up beds. They have 4 different strengths and UV levels in the stand ups there so the weakest one may be less strong then a powerful one at another salon. Your best bet would be to ask someone at the salon the difference between their beds.

You shouldnt use tanning booths at all
Reply:Yes, bulbs are usually stonger and it gets more surface area that you do not get lying down.

an actual tan or fake tan? you can but neutragena self tanner that will work really well but to have a real tan by that time I would go in a super bed, it will work faster and you go in for less time since you don't like to go tanning in the first place.
Reply:buy some of that moistureiser with tanning lotion at a chemist or something of the sort
Reply:easy! just use neutragina suncare tanning lotion or something with aloe in it to tan your skin i want a tan befaore the fourth of july too so thats what i use. re-apply every 3 hours for a week and if it doesnt work mvoe on to something stronger

But you should care more about dying of skin cancer than being tan.
Reply:You know that big bright orb in the sky? It emits UV rays which give you a tan....Go stand outside for a while.

Other than that, you could go with a fake spray on tan (useless).

Or simply tan while you're there. Just use plenty of mega-SPF sunblock and you'll tan gradually.

Honestly, I don't undertand this facination with tanning.
