  I'm tanning for my first (and most likely only) time for our wedding.  I do rather enjoy it, but I won't continute to do it after the wedding because (1) it's expensive and (2) it's really, really bad for you.  I like being tan though!

  [QUOTE]Sooo I tried a at home spray tan, and while it worked fine, it did start to rub off in kinda funny ways after a week or so....so I came across a coupon for a tanning place, and its perfect timeing....$20 for 2 weeks. YAY! It was definatly an odd experience, but it seems like  2 weeks is going to be perfect amount of time to get just enough color that I dont look pale, but not enough time too look orange (I also asked a ton of questions about the safety etc since I dont really beleive in tanning beds....<strong>and they were able to convince me that they are reletively safe, and muuuuch safer then many of the other beds out there!) Now I am kind of excited about getting some colour :)</strong>

  <div>they tell you that so you can give them your money. tanning is not safe for you. The best thing you can get from it is vitamin D but you could also just go in the sun or eat certain foods. </div><div>
  </div><div>I'm tanning for the wedding too but I'm going into it totally knowing I should not be doing it. I figure 20 days is enough and I'm never doing this again! </div>

  </div><div>This.  Tanning is NOT safe for you.  About as safe as smoking cigarettes.  That being said, tanning/smoking cigarettes for 2 weeks in your life for your wedding isn't going to kill you, but I wouldn't recommend keeping it up after the wedding, no matter what the girls behind the counter making $8 an hour with no education on skin cancer tell you.

  If you read it...it says reletively, as in more so then a lot of the other tanning beds, I know its not good for you im not stupid but thanks for alluding that I am, and I wont continue after the wedding.

  I also just started tanning last week for my first time ever. I've always been against them, so I feel a little like a hypocrite, but oh well. I figure a month out of my whole life probably won't make a huge difference. I was surprised by how good I felt after (must be all that vitamin D) and I like knowing that my tan won't rub off on my white dress, but I definitely am cutting it off after the wedding too. Maybe it's just me being a novice, but I was surprised by how expensive it was after you get the face lotion, body lotion, and month package.
