karch Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I suggest getting the cheapest unlimited month membership to your tanning salon. It would run from 55-80 dollars. Whatever beds they say you could use with that. Use them. I go every single day. You gotta pace yourself at first. Do you burn easily? Don't go the full time when you start. But you also gotta understand everyone burns pretty much. But ifyour beet beet red..then you gotta relax on it a bit. If you get really really red just take a break for a few days until the redness is fading away and your skin isn't hurting. And always dump on Aloe Vera Gel after you tan, and through out the whole day. Just dump it on your skin. It'll prevent some peeling. Hope I helped......peace.

guest00901 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I work at a tanning salon so ill tell you what the deal is.First off if u are really pale u need about 4-6 sessions to build a base tan. Go into only one machine and stay there until you build up a base tan. Also useing lotions with bronzer's in them also help build a nice dark tan. I work for hollywood tans so try and get to one of those and go into an HT60 tanner. That thing is raw, I have a pretty good base tan and it made me really dark after 6 minutes. Make sure u start useing lotions with bronzer in them, they should sell them at the tanning salon, and if u come down to the hollywood tans in manhattan on 8st and 6th ill give u one free tan =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berniec Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 I could go tanning every day, and i'd just burn my ass off, but after a few months my shades of red get a little darker Bern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnkennedy Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 I go to Venice Beach all the time... I go there just for the Sunsport bed, you can stay in it as long as you want (the session is 30 minutes, 15 on each side u have to flip) and you cannot get burnt. You just keep getting darker with this bed (it blocks out all UVB rays that cause redness, and allows all UVA rays that just get ur skin darker). Other than the sunsport, the standup is good for a quick tan, very strong and covers you well. These are the only 2 beds I use in there.

Teknojunkee Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 My family owns 7 tanning salons throughout long island. The Big Bear should be in 10 or 12 minute durations. Depending on your skin type and the bulbs they use in that bed most people will experience a slight burn after the first use. Remember to use aloe lotion for ONE DAY ONLY! and then moisturize alot for the next 2 days. The moisturizer tends to make the peeling less severe and noticeable. Ask the person working about the beds that have less Uvb rays. These beds usually have longer sessions, yield better color long-term and are much less harmful to your skin in the long run.

I Dunno if its any good or not, but its been gettin alot of press. CBS was running a story on it this morning on their EARLY (5am) newscast...but there was no way in hell i was going to be up to see that one lol!The NBC station in Philly did a story on it too, go to http://www.hollywoodtan.com/uvfree_info.html at the bottom of the page they have a link to watch the NBC 10 story on it, they have 2 before and after pics in the story, but the video quality is really bad so its hard to tell much.Bern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
