Honest answers only please

Answer 1

wear whatever u want...bikini, panties, nude...i despise tan lines, so i prefer nude...they will most likely start u out at a very short amount of time, probably 5 min or so, especially if u are fair complected or have a tendency to burn...then, if all goes well, u can move up gradually til u hit the max time allowed...of course, u will have to choose an appropriate lotion, depending on your skin & tanning goals...there are regular, accelerator, amplifier, bronzer & tingle lotions...& combinations of those...so, the salon staff can explain the benefits of the products they carry & what will be best...swedish beauty, pro tan & fiesta sun all produce good lotions...when u go into the cubicle, just strip off & apply your lotion & either lay down in the bed, or stand up if you`re gonna use that kind...they will most likely have a button inside the cubicle that u push, so when u are ready, u hit the button & your bed will start...don`t forget the eyewear (most salons provide it, but u may have to buy your own)...almost all salons have a radio or speaker system, so u can listen while u relax...if u use a lay-down bed, don`t forget to flip over halfway thru, to make sure u tan evenly...always moisturize your skin after tanning & especially after your shower...moisturized skin tans better, keeps color looking nice & helps lessen the appearance of wrinkles (this is important!!! i`ve been tanning in beds for more than 15 years, as well as outside, but as i take good care to hydrate my skin, most people assume that i`m about 15 years younger than my actual age)...exfoliate regularly too, as it removes dry, dead skin that can make your color look dull...hope this helps!!! happy tanning!!!

Answer 2

TBH,I prefer fake tan.Yes it may mess up and u may look like a koala bear,but at least ur safe.If ur fake tanning tho,wash ur hands right away or it streaks like hell.as for a sunbed,well ive only ever done it once,i went to a standup booth,as the thought of laying under one freaked me out.ask to be started on a 3min or 6min session,that way you can discover how long your tolerance is.if you withstand the 6 mins then try longer next time.however to fake tan,get somone to help you or go to a salon that does it x

Answer 3

there are different types of sunbeds,the ones where u stand up n the ones you lay on. on some you can go totally naked but on some you got to wear knickers,it depends on the person who does it n on you of cos. if its your 1st time then make sure to take it easy so you dont get burnt n dont forget to moisturize after. so you just need to decide on which one you wanna go,choose a starter one n relax. have fun!!

Answer 4

Personally i wouldnt go to a sunbed..i'm kinda freaked by talk of increased risk of skin-cancer, 'you're better off applying a good fake tan however annoying it is to have to do it...sunbeds only damage your skin/health in the longrun!

Answer 5

Tan beds are easy. Depends on how much of your body you want light? I usually keep my bikini bottoms on and go topless. They usually have tunes so you can listen to something while you're in there. Get a good bronze tanner though, it helps. You won't be in there for long to begin with so you'll get used to it as you go more often. Good luck!
