indoor tanning!?

Question

prom is coming up in a little less than a month and im deffinetly not tan enough. i want to indoor tan but i really need tips such as how long, what kind of lotion to use and so on. im fairly white right now but i do tan and rarely burn. (please no answers telling me not to do it. I KNOW THE RISKS!)

Answer 1

.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 ...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...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!!!
