How often should you tan to keep a good base tan?

Question

I was recently in florida for 10 days and recieved a very nice tan. I dont want to lose it and I have access to tanning beds. How often should I go to keep my tan? 1/week? 2/week?

Answer 1

Depending on your skin type, 1-2 sessions a week should be sufficient. If you tan easily, once a week will be enough. But it really depends on the amount of melanin in your skin.
Always be sure to hydrate your skin while tanning with good moisturising products designed for sunbed use, the more moisturised your skin is, the longer the tan will last!!
And ALWAYS follow tanning guidelines, tanning excessively will only age your skin!

Answer 2

start with every other day and then reduce to 2-3 times a week for a couple of weeks and from there decrease to 1-2 times a week. You will know by how quickly it fades or if you get darker. Use a good tanning bed lotion. I've tried them all and right now I'm loving Worship Me. Use Moist Hemp facial moisturizer and body moisturizer with bronzing once a day (from sally beauty supply) and you will definitely keep your base and then some. I only need to go once every other week. and I used to be pale. Since spring os on the way I am at 2xs a week to get darker.

Answer 3

i heard that you should tan every 3-4 days to keep a nice looking tan.

Answer 4

However often you decide to tan, just tan safely.

I was a sunbed junkie 15 years ago and I am paying for it today, as just two weeks ago, I underwent the removal of growths on my face and chin. Only tan when needed.

Answer 5

it really depends on how dark u want to stay...if u want to keep just a glow u could go probably 2 or 3 times a week...i like to be really dark, so i tan every day...it`s just a matter of preference & how long u normally stay tan & how dark u want to be...

Answer 6

I would say twice a week but please tan safe! Use special indoor tanning lotion and please wear tanning goggles. They will save your eyes!

Answer 7

You shouldnt tan, it gives you skin cancer.
