k so I have one month before my summer vacation trip. I am WHITE and burn easily. the burn goes away quickly though.
I would like to be a little bronze within 4 weeks,
so how do I go about doing this in tanning beds?
and is it true that if you use tanning oil in a tanning bed you’ll burn?
I plan on just doing 5 or 8 min sessions twice a week to avoid a burn and to get some color. But I’ve never been tanning before. help!
p.s. any mentions of cancer will result in violation report and suspension of account. & no sarcastic answers.
thanks to everyone in advance.
I would talk to the tanning salon you are going to about your questions. They should be qualified enough to be able to asnwer any questions you have. They should be able to point out which beds you should try tanning in to achieve the results you want, and they will also be able to point you in the direction of a good lotion. You can ask them if you can use oil, but from personal experience, they will tell you you cannot use it. Tanning oils are not allowed in most tanning facilities for many reasons. The oil is very hard to clean off of the acrylic of the tanning bed, which makes things harder on the staff and unsanitary for the other tanners. It is also a hazard because it makes the floors in the rooms slippery. Finally, some oils contain ingredients which may actually ruin the acrylic surface of the tanning bed and since salons keep a log of every customer who comes in and out of each room at all times, if you’re the one who ruins it you’ll probably get a pretty hefty repair fee slapped on you. So, I would suggest just finding a salon with polite, knowledgable staff that can help you with all of your questions, and if they can’t…find another one!
duno if it is true.

you might try tanning oil with some vanilla in it–it helps get that brozer look. I don’t see why you can’t use an oil in a bed. They are supposed to clean them anyway..

Yes! You can have tanning oil in tanning beds, but I would try Jergens tanning lotion! Builds a great tan in about a week! It’s fantastic for your skin and better than tanning beds! It can be found at drugstores, but make sure you get both lotions! One is for face and one is for body!

For a person with fair skin, it is very important to use a good indoor tanning lotion versus an oil. Use a accelerator or bronzer, which can be purchased at your local tanning salon. Lotions can be a bit expensive, but its worth it, try a bronzer called "Speed of Light" made by Designer Skin. Its excellent!!! As far as tanning goes, you want to create a base tan which can take up to 7 sessions of tanning. Make sure if you use a lay-down bed, you rotate yourself, to prevent red streaks on your backside. And alternate between stand up and lay down beds for best results!!! Good Luck!!!

Try using an accelerator with a bronzer in it. This will really help you tan more quickly than a tanning oil, plus if you are in a lay down bed it will probably be a little uncomfortable and may cause spotting.
The employees at the tanning place should be able to help help you, they usually have you fill out a paper and get you in the right amount of time and what % UVA/UVB bed to use.

Just lay out in the sun for half an hour a day, 15 minutes on each side. I put SPF 25 on my face and chest to protect them. Why waste the money? Real tans are better for your skin than tans from a tanning bed. It has something to do with the fact that real tans make your skin build up a better resistance to the sun. I’ve only been doing this for 3 days and I already have more visible tanlines! My shoulders are especially bronzed..

Myself – PS remember to put a light SPF on your body if you burn really easily! I don’t and I’m white but I’m not *that* pale
