get some bronzer instead.
I suggest you go to the tanning salon only 2-3 times a week, but it’s good that you’re starting early because summer is on its way! Plus, for the purpose of looking more “natural”, immediate results are probably what you don’t want! You should see a little more color tomorrow, and when you go in a few days you will notice even more. But, trust me, you do NOT want to look like an orange; so immediate results are a no-no!
y do u have to tann???? IM SRRY BUT U RLLY SHOUDNT DO THAT!!! ITS RLLY RLLY BAD FOR U!
Depending on your skin, the tan *might* not show up until a week or two.
And it’s not good for the tan to show up fast anyways.
Is this your first time tanning? You should NOT go for 20 minutes your first time! That is just begging to be burnt.
Don’t use outdoor lotions outside. It ruins the acrilics, and actually can block out the uv rays from the bed.
I would say after 3 times you can tell a difference, but it wont be a strong difference. Go as often as you can without burning. If you can get away with once everyday, then do it. But don’t overdo it or you’ll burn and regret it.
go two or three times a week, and use a tanning lotion that has bronzers and that has an accelerator, you should see results in about a week or two depending on how well you tan.
it ALL depends on your skin type. if, for expamle, you have pale skin, you skin wont hold the tan as long or as deep as it would if you have olive toned skin. i would go every other day if your skin is red right now. dont go when your skin is burned, it will only cause you to peel then you’ll just lose your tan altogether. and one thing i noticed when i went to the tanning bed. it’s best to turn over half way through. the skin on your back will end up darker than your front . because your back is closest to the light. you probably wont notice a difference until the 3rd or 4th time
well you shouldnt go tanning for 20 min your first time and if you arent burned now, you will be! give it a few more hours you are gonna be on FIRE! get some aloe now
you should also not use banana boat, i know you know this, but it wont help at all. its actually bad to wear that in the bed. you should get some real indoor tanning lotion, they have some at the salon but if you cant affors the 20 dollars a bottle wal mart has one for 7 bucks but make sure it says ‘indoor salon use’
okay well i tan a good amount, so heres my advice…
definately use a tanning lotion that they sell in the salons. i use 14k gold by designer skin and its awesome. it smells like banana laffy taffy. haha some people like the smell some dont…it runs about $48 theyre expensive but they work. im fair skinned and i get pretty dark. another alternative is what they call a hot lotion, i use it on my legs. what it does is open the pores and helps your skin take in the uv rays. be careful tho cuz it WILL turn your skin red and make sure to rub it in EVERYWHERE cuz otherwise youll have white spots. i dont advise using it on like arms or your tummy and stuff just legs and hard to tan spots. i use addicted to love, which is a mild hot lotion and it does burn…so start with a mild and if you think you can try a more harsh one, be my guest…but take things slow.
also make sure to exfoliate because otherwise youre just tanning dead skin that will fall off soon anyway. and moisturize AS MUCH AS YOU CAN because dry dead skin wont tan and will replace its self, again youre just wasting tanning time you paid for…hope that helps!
