30 minutes before tanning, I always apply sunscreen to my face since sunscreen takes about that long to soak all the way into your skin. I always keep a towel over my face too but I heard that UV rays can pass through anything that water can. So I'm thinking the towel isn't enough. Is there any kind of product out there specifically FOR indoor tanning use on the face?? Maybe an aftercare product?? I don't want to have to pay the price 20 years later with age spots and wrinkling skin..so anything preventative im willing to try.

yes there is......
its called Saving Face
its hypoallergenic
its by designer skin;)
I use a Tannie as well (it protects your hair) because just like your skin and nails...your hair will dry out in the tanning bed.
good luck..........and why would this get a thumbs down???

Unless your doctor has recommended tanning as treatment for a skin disorder, there is no reason to use a tanning bed. The fact is, you WILL pay the price in 20 years with age spots, wrinkles, and leathery skin. Sure, the tan looks great. But 20 years will sneak up on you before you know it, and you will be sorry you ever set foot in a tanning bed. I am 50 years old, always took care of my skin, and still look very young. My tanned friends of the same age look even older than they really are. Trust me, looking young when you get older beats having a tan when you are young.

The only died-in-the-whool way to prevent UV damage to skin is not to expose it in the first place. However, I've found that using sunscreen--and wearing protective goggles--can really reduce the impact tanning has on the face. After tanning, always shower (without soap--getting the skin wet and removing the oils formed by sweating are the main point, and using soap at this stage will only speed drying) and pat dry with a towel. Try to leave your hair damp, since UV exposure tends to dry out hair and make it brittle. After the shower, you can apply a light moisturizer such as aloe vera gel.

are you putting on indoor tanning sun screen? if not that is not helping your face at all. a towl is fine to protect your face just fold it in half and make sure it covers your whole face. i don't really think there is a product to prevent your face getting tan since the purpose of going in a tanning booth is to get tan. also a lot of tanning beds have different lights for your face that you can actually turn off, maybe you should see if any salons have that. its's always best to use an after tanning lotion (not just for your face) to keep your skin mosturized.

I don't think there's a product like that, since most people want to tan their face so they're not butt-white on top and tan everywhere else. Sunblock and a towel are more than sufficient. I went tanning once with SPF 10 makeup on and got no color on my face.

STOP TANNING! You will never be able to completely eliminate the UV rays from getting to your face. Try mystic tanning (spray tan) or at home self tanner. I had a really hard time giving up the tanning bed, but I'm glad i did. i spray tan and use loreal self tanner and am so much happier... and my skin is thanking me.

you people are a bunch of jerks! if someone is old enough and wants to tan keep your smart answers to yourself. She asked a logical question to me. I cover my face because it is much more suceptable to damage. I am going on vaca and not white! But, also don't wanna be stupid like lay in sun all say either. I have a face sunless tanner for my face thank you. Buncha jerks.

don't get in the tanning bed.
It has been proven that tanning beds do MORE damage to skin than natural sunlight. In fact you are more likely to get skin cancer using a tanning bed than by tanning under natural light.
If you want a tan, (you're probably a shallow airhead anyway...) use skin dye. At least there are dyes that don't cause cancer.

What's the use of a unwrinkled, spotless face if the rest of your body looks like leather? You shouldn't tan. Its bad for you. Spray tan if you have to. Or just go to the beach.
