Any color other than your natural skin color is not good for you! Especially from tanning beds. The rays are so much closer to your skin and not shielded by the atmosphere like the sun is. A little bronze isn't bad, it might protect you a little from getting a burn as bad as from nothing but a "nice brown" color isn't good for your skin. If you look at someone who is say ... 30 and has been tanning for 10 years compared to someone the same age and body type, life style, habbits, except for tanning. On average the one that has not been exposing their skin to harmful direct rays will have younger looking skin than the tanning bed attender. Rays that direct make your skin wrinkle faster and you can get skin cancer that has to be surgically removed if it's deadly.

Once you get your base tan - you can go about once every 7-10 days to keep it up. The time it takes to get the base tan will vary. It depends on your skin type. Just start out slow and try not to burn. It takes about a month to get a decent base going. You damage your skin even more every time you burn. I would try to alternate between doing a spray-on mist tan and then maybe doing some bed tanning to make it look better. That is, if you just feel like you have to have a tan. It's really not the smartest thing to do. I was addicted to it for about 10 years, and now I don't go at all.

If you want a tan from a tanning bed then it really depends on how light your skin is and how sensitive it is to sunlight...if you tan the right way (which means without burning and lots of lotion to moisturize) then it could take about two to three months.........if you have skin that tans easily then it could only take one month.... there's also the option of getting a spray on tan--- which means that u dont have to worry about getting cancer and wrinkles later on down the road! You should really just talk to ur doctor/demero or a tanning salon employee~~ good luck!

really depends on your skin type and how long long you go in for. If you go to a professional tanning salon like fabutan or something they try and control your time so u dont burn. IF your pasty and naturally so they will probably only let u go in ten minutes at a time(u can boost it up as u keep going). If your trying to get one fast once a day for a week should probably do it.
( by the way i went through a skin cancer scare because of indoor tanning and i highly reccomend just getting a spray on at a
salon because its really not worth it)

Just wait until the summer, U got the free sun and heat. Be patient girl. I am amazed at how much revenue tanning salons make off from women who are insecure or need to be upkeep with the looks. Its natural to get lighter in the winter. . SOrry need to answer this since i am new to this yahoo answers. lol The answers are all true babe, just save ur money and use the sun. Free is better than spendin, use that term wisely.

To the first answered girl. You have some nerve sure if you want to go out and get skin cancer go right ahead but, you have no right putting other people done cause they want to go to the tanning salon. I would go to a tanning salon to get a healthy tan and so what if it cost money to get it. But, oh well I would rather have a healthy one then get skin cancer and have to pay more money to doctors and have freaked up looking skin..Leather ladies you know who you are...Happy New Year

Depends on your original skin colour.
My skin is light brown & I go for 6 minutes the first time, then increase by 3 minutes atleast 3 more times. Usually it takes me about 4-5 visits.
Tanning salons should know just by looking at you, the time in which you will need that is suited to your skin tone.

I never ever tan, in a salon or otherwise. I have an aversion to wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer. I perfer my soft fair line-free skin to rough dry flakey tanned leathery skin anyday. Yuck. Happy New Year.

Never have, never will. I don't believe in artificial beauty. If I want to tan, I get out of the house and get a tan. Personally I see those people who need to be at the tanning salons as pretentious and shallow, but hey .. however you want to blow your cash.
