Tanning.....?

Question

I have always been "anti-fake tan" and I hate the orange look, but I would like to go just a few times to get a base tan. My face has a hard time tanning outside and I have heard that tanning helps improve your skin (acne and such) a little bit. What place would you suggest and yes I know about the dangers of skin cancer and tanning beds. What do y'all think? Would this be bad if I went just a few times to get a base tan and also how much would it cost for like a month membership? Thanks!!

Answer 1

Well in my opinion tanning beds aren't as bad as everyone says when you tan you feel better look better and have more confindence.Its up to you though if you want to get a membership.Yur membership depends on which one you get for example,there are diffrent beds for diffrent prices the prices usually range for 40 to 60 dollars the higher the price the more beds you get,i tlso depends on how often you go,and what lotion you use.there are many different kinds to choose fromthe poeple at tanning should explain this all to you.In my opinion tanning is totally worth the price there are pros and cons in anything but its totally up to you :) good luck

whoa....... 1. you'll probably get a change after one visit, just make sure you don't go in too long and get burnt! 2. I would say around 5-7 visits depending on the strength of the bulbs at the tanner you're going to. 3. Tanning beds give you a comparable tan. 4. I would always tan in the sun if I had time! You can always do both. 5. Tans from a bed last a while once you have been regularly going I would say about a week before you are going back to normal. 6. Nothing really happens after you tan in either place except that it eventually will wear off or if you get burnt it will peel off. Thats why you have to go fairly regularly and for appropriate amounts of time.

A base tan is good for summer so your not prone to burn AS BAD as you would. DEFFINATELY get a good lotion, not only do they help you tan 40-60% better, but they have active ingredients that help keep your skin in good shape. There are about 3 different types of bronzers in tanning lotions, a lotion with DHA may make you orange but they others wont. Hemp helps moisturize you skin, it wont turn you red. A monthly membership will cost you anywhere between 19 and 50 but BE CAREFUL!! You get what you pay for, a salon with good beds usually will not have their month for 19. I know most of the places around where i am have their month for 1995 but they dont use good bulb so you will get any color.

I'll admit, I love tanning. As bad as it is, there are plenty of other things that bring harm to people's health, such as smoking, eating too much, etc...But speaking from experience, many places offer an unlimited month's worth of tanning. That means you pay a certain amount (I pay $40/month) and you can tan any days, any time, every day if you like. Definatly shop around first, see what's in your area, and make sure the tanning bed has a health rating/license.

Answer 5

I love tanning beds for my "base" tan....if you decide to go DO NOT use a lotion with a bronzing agent in it......you will look orange if you use a lotion with hemp in it you will look red at first but PLEASE for the first time do not go for any longer than 5 minutes YOU WILL BURN!!!!! I know here where I live you can get tanning packages from $25 for 10 sessions (perect for the "base" tan) or they are $3 per session.....make sure you moisturize so your skin doesn't dry out.....best of luck....

Answer 6

Ok being tan might make you feel better but not if you get skin cancer and die. It seems like people don't think that you can get skin cancer when you're young, but people do. Seriously, get your priorities straight.

Answer 7

tanning beds ....they tend to ruin folks skin.
the sunshine is the best--if you have a trampoline,lay in the sun , put sunscreen on.
