I am going on a trip to Cancun in 6 weeks! I've also just lost a bunch of weight and I want to go with a tan...so, I have no idea what to do when you go tanning, also, I'm sure things have changed in 10 years. I don't want to be super dark, just have a healthy glow...where should I go what should I ask for, what's a good price to pay? Help?

Make sure you but packages not minutes.
Go every other day for the first week. Tan for half of the time not the full time.
Buy a tanning lotion that is a bronzer. That will help make it look more natural.
After you tan the first week, if you are seeing results, start to tan longer. The longer you can go the better your tan is going to be.
Good Luck and Have Fun!!!

When you go tanning at your local tanning salon, call a few different places and see who has the best price for a package. Also, another suggestion I have is don't go to but those expensive tanning lotions!! Go to your local drug store or Wal-Mart and buy a good oil, like Hawaiian Tropics tanning oil works great. Then go tanning! Most people go in the nude, especially if you're going to be wearing a swim suit, you don't want weird tan lines. Start off at like 10-12 minutes then work your way up to 20 minutes so you won't burn. I hope you have fun and good luck!

dont use a tanning salon, they are dangerous and disgusting. You could get a spray tan, which usually last about a week. Sometimes they come out uneven. You could also use a tanning lotion often found in drug stores. These lotions are safe and, depending on the brand, they give the effect of a natural glow. of course, these lotions need to be applied carefully and consistently.

I wouldn't bother unless you have skin that doesn't ever burn, and in that case, you would tan well naturally while there. If you're lighter skinned and burn easily. going into a concentrated UV bed will just roast you and give you an orangey look. Only people who tan naturally, I believe, should bother with the beds.

If you must be tan, do the fake spray crap. the tanning from a tanning bed is not a healthy glow, just a precursor to melanoma.

you can buy packages that are like 5 for 25. never buy minutes, buy sessions. i would call around and price places in your area. you can buy lotions (yes they work) if you want they help tan you. if you want to be dark get a bronzer. they are tinglers which i love, not everyone does bc it makes your skin feel like it's on fire (opening the pores to tan better) for about 20-40 minutes after your out

why bring sand to the beach, when you attend cancun there will be plenty of oppurtunites to be tanned. i bet when you come back you should be tanned. why are you going to cancun for a business meeting?

The browner the better.
Cancer is a small price to pay for the bronzing of your buns.
