Re: Lost my tanning virginity last night!

So I am a redhead yet surprisingly I do get very tan in the summertime. I also use the tanning bed. I go to a hollywood tans and use the stand up and I started last week.. I went in for 6 min the first time and was too red so I dropped that down to 5 and then slowly went back up to 6 and you can still see the difference As…

Welcome to the cancer club, hahahaha (joke). My fiance (oncology pharmacist) gets SO mad at me for going but I keep insisting to him I will stop for good after the wedding. However, I am sure, like mbody, I will continue to go for pre-vacation purposes and to start off my summers since I get so pale in the winters. I would…

Well, first things first, do you tan in the natural sunlight? If not, you're not really going to get tan from a bed. I actually get pretty dark in the summer, but really pale in the winter. So, to begin my tanning regimine, if you will, I usually use a tanning bed about two times a week for 2-3 weeks before I'm outside. I…

Thanks for the advice! Yes, it was the standard bed. Though the lady did ask if I wanted the stand up and I thought she was crazy. mBody- No I don't tan outside often. I hate spending hours laying in the sun. I run and bike and get somewhat tan from that, but I don't want those tan lines with my wedding dress. When I…

Tanning is so so bad for your skin! Have you considered an alternative? Spray tan? Lotion? With that said, tanning beds never worked for me. I got more of an orange hue than a natural tan color. Since I live in AZ, I started tanning on the weekends a few months ago (yep...I was outside by the pool in February). Just a…

Are you doing a bed or a standup? Go with the time they suggest... if your skin only turns a little pink and doesn't burn, you're probably on the right track. Add a minute to that time every week to every 2 weeks, depending on how quickly you tan. Go 1-2 times a week since you're fair. Use an indoor tanning lotion…

So after seeing some of the pics from my first shower and how I practically blended in to my white dress- I decided to start going tanning- eek! Has anyone else started tanning just for the wedding? I know a lot of people do it, but it was such a new experience for me! None of my close friends go- we're all pretty nerdy.…

I can't imagine the tanning salon person would put someone who has never tanned in a bed their whole entire life into any bed over the 'weakest' (for lack of a better word.) Most stand-up beds are more powerful than the weakest lay down bed. But, yeah, I wear at least 15 spf, if not over that, in the summer. We're out on…

Just a word of the wise becareful ladies going into these tanning beds, Trust me. I rather lay out in the sun then go into a tanning bed ever again even though it is probably the same exposure of UV Rays.

With the warm weather coming I would not pay to go tanning just go outside and be sure to use sunblock! I used to tan indoors during the winter months but as I have grown older and wiser I don't go anymore. I will however layout at the beach but I will be using at least an spf of 15 sunblock if not higher.
