Answer 1

it`s a proven fact that the more u tan, the easier it is for u to tan...so, if u have fair skin, or haven`t been tanning in a while, it`s gonna take longer for u to get any color...just move your time up a min or 2 the next time u go, & continue gradually going up til u hit the max time in the bed...also, it could be your lotion, because some brands are definitely better than others...u could try one that has a bit of bronzer in it, & that will give u some immediate color til your natural tan starts to build...i think some of the best brands are swedish beauty, pro tan, & fiesta sun..."crystal" by swedish beauty, is excellent...it`s about $100 for a bottle, but of course if u buy it online it will be a bit cheaper...happy tanning!!!

Answer 2

because those beds take FOREVER to work. use the high pressure beds. it's equivalent to tanning 3-5 times in a regular bed, and you only have to stay in about 10 minutes at a time. Plus you only need to go 3-5 times a month whereas the regular beds you're supposed to go 3-5 times a WEEK.

at 15-30 dollars a visit compared to the 5-7 you pay for the regular beds, it may sound more expensive, but trust me in the long run it is a much better investment, and you'll see results a lot sooner! just look around and do research to find the cheapest places.

hi again!! =) well, hmm i used to tan too.. i also used the beds. The advice that the people who worked there told me is that when you first starting to go tan; do it every other day for the first week, just to get a base coat. But only do till 8 mins. so you won't get burned okay =). Then after your base coat, you can start going maybe 2 times a week or so, and raise up the time to 12 mins., of course you can do more than 2 times weekly but do keep in mind of the harms that come with it okay. You will start to notice the color more after the 1st two weeks. I started to go tanning 2 months before i go to hawaii for some photoshoots just to get my tan going because i was practically albino, and trust me you will be pretty tan!!! but other than that, when i came back from hawaii i didnt really need to. To keep up wih my tan i just hit the beach with cute bikinis and sunblock and it's all good. Well, hope this helps sweetie. And remember, lotion & moisturizer as much as you can to keep that skin fresh and sexy =)!!

Ewww....have you ever noticed that those tanning beds look like coffins???
Seriously, those things cause skin cancer and several other nasty diseases. Why don't you just rub on some tanning lotion and lie in your backyard or at the beach for a couple of hours. It might take a little longer, but atleast you would come out all orange with skin cancer. If you get bored while you're tanning naturally, ask a friend to join you or listen to the radio or iPod. You can even read a book while tanning.
You can't do that in that tanning bed/coffin of yours now can you???

Answer 5

just give it time, before long you'll be seeing results. just go a minute or so longer every time or every other time and you'll get tan fast.

Answer 6

Answer 7

cause your skin is trying to tell you something, it might just be rejecting the tan color. that or cancer is just trying to make its way on in. one or the other.

Answer 8
