First time tanning...?

Question

I went tanning for the first time today in a booth. I went for 8 minutes, and you can't even tell on my skin. When will I start to notice my skin getting darker? Thanks!

Answer 1

Try going again 2 days later and go in RUVA bed, avoid the WOLFF beds. Ask to go in for 15 minutes and you should definitly see results. Plus, RUVA beds make your tan last so much longer.

Answer 2

You won't if you didn't turn pink or red. In fact, there was someone at my home yesterday that spent 8 minutes in the tanning booth also and looked like a lobster. When I mentioned I thought he had overdone it, he said that was the minimum time. It sounds like you are already fairly dark and need to up your time. It could be the difference between the two machines or maybe the settings.

Answer 3

it depends on your skin pigmentation. if you're "nicole kidman white"... good luck on tanning. lol... if you're about jessica simpson's complection you'l get a tan after a week of tanning. if you're jessica alba's complection about 4 days. however, i wouldn't recommend staying in the booths longer than 10 minutes each session your first week of tanning because your skin needs time to get some color. staying longer will just lead to burning. if you want to see a difference buy a sticker from your local store and put it on your hip or somewhere you plan on showing in the tan booth but cover with your swimsuit later. each time you tan put the sticker in the same place. after each tan you'll see how much progress you're making with your tan.

Answer 4

Avoid them all together. Use the real sun. Why risk getting cancer from using those things. I know the sun can cause cancer too. But not like tanning beds can.

Answer 5

you will start to notice after 3 or 4 times after you just started.

Answer 6

JUST SAY NO!!!
