For those that sunbed tan during winter :-)

InGearX · 12-02-2002, 10:04 PM

(For those of you that might be new to this, tanning is great, chicks dig that... it's a relatively painless process for great results... this thread should hopefully help...)

I'm just going to start this season so I need some tips...

1) Which brand of sunbed tanning lotion can you recommend? as it's critical and I can't waste money on b$...
2) Also tanning dries up your skin, what do you do about that? Any moisturizers?

I'm just going to start this winter, and I want to do it right...
3) How should I start? Timing per sessions and number of sessions? (I tan like an avg person)
(I think it's critical to start out right to get a nice lasting tan! - please tell us any tips...

Any information tips, tricks, links and suggestions are much appreciated by me and fellow members ;-)

Thank you...

depends on the bed...but i start people at my gym out at 5-6, depending on skin tone. do that a couple of times and work your way up slowly...tanning bed burns suck! they itch

as in lotion...the place you tan should have some to recommend

When I get home today I'll check on the lotion. I found some stuff that works great...just can't remember the name.

I agree with beka. If I haven't used my bed in awhile I start off with 5-6 min sessions.

I bought one two years ago. Some of the best money I've spent.

I've been tanning since May (?). I use a tanning lotion that I get at Walmart made for indoor tanning and it's only $8 or so. I also shower with a sesame oil - I put it on after I shower. I have really normal skin though, so if you have oily skin, that may not work for you. But, I've been doing this for years and I don't often get the flakes... except when your body goes through it's natural shedding.

I also started at 5-6 minuites. It's a quick process to get up there. Now I do about 20 minutes once a week or so. During water ski season, I go every other since I'm in the sun anyway.

And for Fade and DG,

hi guys... trying to get back on track with the journal.
