cool2223423123 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Hey.... I was just wondering, I was kind of white (not _that_ white , lol), so I went to a tanning salon, lol. ($10) I was wondering how you girls got your great tans.... do you lay out in the sun, or do you go to a salon? Does it make a difference how it looks? Do you like guys who are tan? The benefit of the tanning salon is that you can go nude I guess, since I have no place to lay out, and tanning salon is much faster (only 18 minutes! lol). But I guess it kinda makes you more redder then tan like. At least it did my first time. I don't know, should I go back? Do you girls tan and like tan guys? I thought it was kind of cheesy but it might make me look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgmodel Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 i used to go all the time.. but right now im not as liquid as id like to be... however if youre looking for a deep tan go into beds that are UV-B, theyre deeper and last longer, and use tanning lotions that have "tingle" this helps you tan better as well... and more importantly go into the beds that are a lil longer its worth it, theyre deeper and darker and you wont have that rosey effect on your skin... btw you know to go in there naked right??? nothing less attractive then tan lines... anyway good luck there my bronze buddy...

aboyfrombklyn Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I don't know, I don't trust those tanning beds. I look at them as cancer in a box. I've dealt with being pretty light skinned my entire life, but it really doesn't bother me. There were times when I tried getting a nice tan by sitting in the sun all the time, but it never really worked. I never got as dark as I wanted to get, so I basically stopped trying. I'd much rather be white, than be white and increase my risk of dealing with a terminal illness. Anyway, if you really want a tan, try some tanning cream (Clarins is pretty good). It may not look as good, but it'll save you time, frustration, and quite possibly some chemotherapy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya. Why not just reduce your chances. Plus, the sun damages your skin, making you look a lot older than you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... how often do I have to go? Like once or twice a week?The tanning salon I went to has 6 different bed intensities, you can go for up to 30 minutes. So, is it better to go for 30 minutes on a lower intensity bed then say 20 min. on a high bed? Also, what tanning lotions are best? I didn't use one the first time. They will sell you tanning lotions for $39 or something, but can I get something just as good at the supermarket? What is "tingle?" Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hmm...i dunno about this salon? is it a big chain?? where i go the max on the beds is 15 min...and i get amazing color everytime!! plus they sell u 'shots' of lotion.....instead of buying a huge bottle...u can buy shots at around 3-5 each...this way u can sample all different lotions and work your way up!((the darker u get the more intense of a lotion)) i can get usually 2 sessions out of 1 shot. in the beginning i would go AT LEAST twice a week..if you are seriously trying to get dark. after u get your color u can then go less and less or just when u feel u need it!!

cool2223423123 Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 Does a tan from a tanning salon look any different then a tan from the sun? Which looks better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebetty Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 In the beginning go 2X per week for 4-6 weeks until you are as dark as you want to be. (Be cautious of the "Tanners anorexia" condition that was previously mentioned and is sure to set in.) Then go 1X per week to maintain your colour. Do not use a cheap lotion or a lotion used for outdoor use they are totally diffrent things. Good nice tan = expensive tan. Don't be cheap with the lotion and NEVER go without lotion. Especially your first time silly! Anyways thats all I can think of for now. Oh, except it has been my experience to use the 15 minute high intense beds for a darker tan and the longer low intensity for a lighter tan or a maitenence tan.Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool2223423123 Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 Here's a girl with that sort of redish tan I was talking about. Looks a little burnt, maybe she's just starting out (but still, i'd f*ck her) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belladiva26 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 if your pale as a ghost, go for 15-20 min in a regular bed, regular lotionid use tingle lotion after like 3 or 4 sessions....this lotion will make you REALLY red for like 20 minutes after you get out, but brings out the most colori find it hard to believe you know NOTHING about tanning, cool234823234523423423 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a nasty burn once from a tanning bed. Then when you get a base tan you can hit the high beds. Good luck! Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
