Last, today, for 15 mins. Nothing happened, no red spots or anything. But I am sooo scared that it's going to ruin my skin. I am only 18. I have an unlimited membership for 1 month. My mom paid lots of money for it (after a lot of begging)...should I stop going?
How much damaged do you think it could have done to my skin? I am really paranoid, I keep on having nightmares, I saw these ladies who've been tanning so much everywhere it looks wrinkled on their skin..I am so scared!!

The damage you're doing to your skin won't show up until you're older....trust me. The wrinkles I have from going to tanning salons are different than the normal wrinkles you get from aging. The skin on the back of my hands look like "alligator skin" and no amount of moisturizer makes it go away. Also, I'm getting "sunspots" all over my face and chest...they look like little blotches of old mustard or something and they're rough feeling.
Stop now. I wish I had the information THEN, that I'm giving you NOW.. I never would have done it.

Don't worry so much. Just do not go anymore. It does ruin your skin. I did a lot of indoor tanning, but I always covered my face with a hand towel and then used self-tanner on my face. Now I always use spf before going out. I use a tinted body lotion for color and a tinted face cream. I sometimes use self-tanning moisturizers which work pretty well. I had a skin cancer removed from my arm so I am now very careful and I am sure that all the tanning salon visits caused it. You are right, people who tan will ultimately face wrinkling. Good Luck.

No just don't tan your face and you should be OK. I mean it's not good for the skin but it's the face it's not good to tan. Tan it for half the time or use a self tanner on the face. I tanned for year in tanning beds and I am 34 and don't have any skin problems.

Over a long period of time it can damaged skin just like the sun. My daughter is 18 and she's been tanning and it looks very nice on her.. Just don't do it year round .

It sounds like you are being careful. 1 month will be ok. Enjoy your tan.

Don't go back!
It was a waste of money, but spending more time there is not going to get it back.

You probably haven't done too much damage so far, but I would stop now.
