Tanning beds

IntakE · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 25, 04

I love tannning even if it is fake n bake its just so relaxing and I dunno I just love it but the one thing I hate about laying in that bed is the funky tan line you get under your arms!

It sucks and it looks really funny.

DO NOT go stand up tanning!
It's SUPER bad for you.
It actually only tans the surface of your skin because it's pure UVA. It's necessary to have a small percentage of UVB rays to stimulate the melanocytes deepsest in your skin. UVA simply darkens the melanin already in your skin!

I generally tan for 20-25 minutes depending on how dark I want to get. My routine is as follows:

5 mins lie with arms above head
5 mins lie on right side, with left arm above head and right arm at my side
5 mins lie on left side, with right arm above head and left arm at my side
Rest of the time lie with both arms at my sides

It's not difficult to wiggle around in the tanning bed at all! Stop being so lazy, the greatest part about tanning beds is that they eliminate tan lines!

Whats this about 60 second tanning? I saw a sign for it, and is that just the fake tan like spray? or does it really tan you in 60 seconds.. just curious, do u girls kno about this?

Angel_Eyes · #16 (**permalink**) Dec 02, 04

tanning is so relaxing

IntakE · #17 (**permalink**) Dec 02, 04

dapimpstress · #18 (**permalink**) Dec 02, 04

I think your friend might be exaggerating a bit since most beds have a maxiumum timer setting of 30 minutes. Also, there isn't a style of bed that you can just "turn on" - you have to actually manually set a certain amount of time, then push the "on" button.

The 60 second tan thing must be like mystic tan - any UV rays that would tan you in 60 seconds would be extremely damaging to your skin!

FYI - I wouldn't suggest Mystic tan if any of you girls or guys are thinking of it - there's actually one chemical in the spray that hasn't been approved by the FDA yet!

The only time I was thinking about a spray tan is for grad.... but Im just gunna keep tanning once or twice a week and then I wont need the spray tan...it doesn't last all that long....I dont se much point.

um just lay in the bed for a few sessions with your arms stretched above your head.. simple.
