She has dark hair and dark eyes, but she is pretty pale. How long should she get in for her first time?
I have a friend who wants to start going to the tanning bed with me.?
i dont know but can i go with u 2?? :P
Reply:5 minutes
Reply:She should start out at 5 minutes the first day. It is not good to use tanning beds daily. Have her use it again maybe 2-3 days later this time for 10 minutes. Continue following this pattern and eventually her skin will be conditioned and she'll gradually develop a tan within three weeks time.
Reply:It really depends on the bed. Is it a 10 minute bed, a 20 minute bed or other? Is it a stand up? Sounds like she tans well. But these are questions to ask the person working there that knows the beds. Tanning beds are dangerous so make sure you go somewhere where the staff is knowledgeable and willing to take the time to work with you. One way to tell is how they "orientate" the new costumers. Do they walk you into the rooms and show you the different kinds of bed? Do they seem to understand them? Does the staff clean the beds or are you required to? Do they make you where goggles? and most importantly do they explain the risks and how to minimize them? Do they suggest you where some kind of lotion? Wearing lotion keeps the skin moist and helps to keep it from drying out. Good luck! (On a regular 20 minute bed I would suggest 8-10 minutes the first time, on a 10 minute bed 3-5 minutes and on a very high quality bed 3 minutes). See how she does. If she burns (and hopefully she wont!)she must wait til it is gone until she tans again. TANNING IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN BURNING AND A BURN WILL NOT TURN INTO A TAN!
Reply:I agree with Kate...about 5 minutes....she should do that for about a week and GRADUALLY work her way up a couple minutes at a time each week. Also, using a salon-brand bronzer helps.

Is it true that you shouldn't shower after you go tanning?
Showering after using a tanning bed or laying in the sun will not have any effect on your tan, because the damage has been done. You shouldn't be tanning, period. Skin cancer aside, you'll age prematurely with wrinkles and "liver spots", which are really "sun damage spots". So if you care about your looks, don't tan.... use a sunless tanner.
Is it true that you shouldn't shower after you go tanning?
dont know i dont tann
Reply:yea the water may burn your skin
Reply:Only if the "tanning" is wipe on.
Reply:no it's not true, i always get a shower when i get home from tanning. you have lotion on you still, and i know they wash the tanning beds after each use, but how good! take you a shower.
Reply:For about an hour at least...think about it. You've just "dyed" the color of your outer most skin cells, do you want to wash all that off?
Reply:I have been tanning for years, and I have heard if you are using a bronzing tanning lotion which is very popular right now you should not shower for a couple of hours to let the lotion soak into your skin. I have heard people say they shower right after tanning and still had a golden tan. I personally wait a couple hours before showering.

Why does my skin look like a giraffe after applying sunless tanning products?
It looks splotchy as if I was sprayed with paint. I only used the creams. Is there a technique or a product that will prevent this?
Why does my skin look like a giraffe after applying sunless tanning products?
The product could be a factor. The next is the application technique. The texture of the cream should also be easy to spread and blend.
I firmly believe in airbrush sunless tanning salons.
They are the best ways to achieve a tan without the splotchy streaks and the harmful rays of the sun.
Reply:You have combination skin, the oils you produce block the creams and wash off, leaving non oily areas tanned and the rest white.
I had the same issue, I don't really know how to solve it unless you just tan naturally or at a salon.
Reply:Another option is your skin is not properly moistureized. You could have dry spots and the skin is absorbing more than the others. Try properly exfoliating and moisturizing before applying sunless tanning products.

there are alot of tanning lotions that are super good now. try coppertone
Reply:lay out in the sun with tanning lotion or tanning oil. if you don't want to lay out at all you can use sunless tanning lotion
Reply:try TAN TOWEL or some kind of self tanning lotion, but be careful because if you don't put them on evenly you will have tan spots all over you!
good luck!
Reply:Girl, I could bet you a lot that I am whiter than you are! My skin is as white as paper almost. I dont even bother with trying to tan or using tanning lotions. Its to much trouble, trust me.
All the cream ones make you orange and all the spray-ons leave spots. Just DONT DO IT! Listen to me, I know from experience! Besides, your natural skin color is sooo much sexier then anything you can do to kill your skin or find on the shelves at walmart. Besides, EVERYBODY wants a tan and does what they can to get one! Why not stand out of the crowd with your white skin! Show them thats its not so bad!
Reply:i think porcelain skin is BEAUTIFUL. look at nicole kidman and keira knightley and scarlett johanssen - they're super pale and absolutely stunning.
if you're really set on the tan, though, try MysticTan. it's $30, but it lasts for like a month. You get it done at a normal tanning salon, but it's spray-on, so not actually tanning, if your parents are worried about skin cancer and such. promise you won't be orangey or gross - it's professional, not do-it-yourself crap.

Can you listen to an mp3 player while laying in the tanning bed?
UV rays have no effect on stuff like that. you people must live in caves, cause if you think it'll do damage, then the sun would damage it too. Better yet, listen to them. dont listen to it in the tanning bed, and for heavens sake, dont take it outside, cause the sun will melt it. feeble-minded half-wits

Is there a rule that I can or cannot go indoor tanning 2 days in a row? Would it safe for me to do this?
yes there is a rule, 24 hours in between tanning session at the place you go, there is nothing to say you cant go to another place, and tan again within the 24 hour period
Is there a rule that I can or cannot go indoor tanning 2 days in a row? Would it safe for me to do this?
I used to. Some salons say no.... I didn't have a problem with it.
Reply:It might depend on your state, but I don't think that's a rule. A lot of salons have their own rules - I think most common the rule is that you can't go twice in one day.
Reply:i use to go tanning indoors everyday for a month but could not stay longer than 1 hour that was the rule that the salon set
Reply:My sister use to manage a tanning salon. She told me the best way to get a tan is go for a short time the first day. Let your body get use to it the next day then go for a little longer the day after. So every other day is the best way to get a good tan without burning yourself.
Reply:It is perfectly safe and there are no rules. Although there is a concern that long term use of tanning beds may lead to skin cancers the data on this is somewhat limited. Nearly all of what we know about tanning is from excessive exposure to sun light. The luminescence of tanning beds is not as harmful. I had a tanning bed at home for years and I miss it. Enjoy.
Reply:Try not to go 2 days in a row. Your skin needs a break and you don't want to burn.
Reply:They say tanning isn't safe to begin with, but the tanning salon I go to, you have to wait 24 hours before you can tan again.

NO BUSINESS SHOULD ALLOW THIS ESPECIALLY IF THEY DON'T KNOW THE RISKS INVOLVED! AND SHAME ON THE PARENTS WHO WOULD DO THIS TO THEIR CHILD!
Reply:Hey, hey! Before we all go calling the baby cops, perhaps you should consider a little personal risk and politely ask if she thinks that's healthy for her baby. The whole problem might be solved in a moments time, and the worse you could get is snapped at.
Maybe she's a new mother who just hasn't figured it all out yet. If you're getting tanned too, offer to hold the baby for her while she tans. If you work at the tanning place, ask a supervisor. There are probably rules against taking small children into the booth.
I hesitate to call CPS on anyone. I've seen what they can arbitrarily do in my own family, and I refer to them as Child Prevention Services.

Can i use the Australian gold SPF 15 lotion for indoor tanning?
yeah, you can use it for indoor tanning. I don't know if you're using that high of an SPF because you burn easily, but I would use a lower SPF tanning lotion than 15 on your body. Using 15 SPF on your face is a good idea, however.
I've started using 8 SPF on my face and chest (the places I burn easily) when i tan indoors. Works perfectly.

How old do you have to be to work at a tanning salon?
the minimun work age is 14, and i live in alberta canada
How old do you have to be to work at a tanning salon?
I live in Medicine Hat , and it's generally been my experience that unless you're 16 you won't be able to work at a tanning salon. (16 is also the general age you can start tanning without parental permission in most shops.) Actually the minimum working age in Alberta is 12, and many businesses (not just tanning salons) make it policy to hire 16+ because of this (most kids are too immature to work at 12, waste of time for the business, so it deters young applicants). However due to the labor shortage in tertiary industry many franchises are lowering their age standards to find workers, so there may be a few shops that hire you, just because they're so strapped. The only way to know for sure is to call and ask.
Reply:I believe its 18 to work at a tanning salon because of liability.
Reply:there is no license for tanning.. so what ever age your state has works

My friends and I want to start up a coffee shop/tanning salon...where do we begin? Any suggestions??
Go to coffee shops and tanning salons and talk to the owners and have a look at the things you like and want to have in yours.
Start out small.
Agree on everything in writing with your friends before you invest any money in anything.
Don't forget location-location-location!
Reply:You might want to look into buying an already existing coffee shop. These are fun and relaxed businesses to own, however the profit margin is low. If you can find a coffee shop that is already running, has customers, and is generating profit, you might be better off than starting from scratch. There is a listing of coffee shops for sale at the following link:

My friends and I want to start up a coffee shop/tanning salon...where do we begin? Any suggestions??
Go to coffee shops and tanning salons and talk to the owners and have a look at the things you like and want to have in yours.
Start out small.
Agree on everything in writing with your friends before you invest any money in anything.
Don't forget location-location-location!
Reply:You might want to look into buying an already existing coffee shop. These are fun and relaxed businesses to own, however the profit margin is low. If you can find a coffee shop that is already running, has customers, and is generating profit, you might be better off than starting from scratch. There is a listing of coffee shops for sale at the following link:

Reply:well first thing you need to do is a make a business plan, and then find a way to finance it. It sounds like a really interesting venture. I hope it will work out for you guys!!!!
I been using proactive solution for two weeks. Will proactive solution affect my face IF I tan in tanning bed?
Proactive makes your skin more acceptable. You might want to put sunblock on your face before tanning so you don't burn.

actually tanning MARGINALLY will help your complexion it dosnt sound great but what it dose is dry your skin a little and your not as oily.
Reply:Proactiv makes the skin sensitive to the sun.. I don't know about thoes lights but I would deff wear a lot of sunscreen when I go in
Reply:yes you might want to even use a SPF on your face and all places where you put proactive on.(very sensitive)
one of the product contains glycolic acic /AHA it exfoliates skin.you have to protect skin from the sun it might get burnt.or uneven tan
Reply:Yes you would probably get burnt if you don't use sunscreen.
The chemical in it makes it really easy for your skin to Burn, but if you use sunscreen on you face you should not burn(or if you use a moisturizer with SPF in it).
Reply:i don't know about tanning of course lol, but i would definetely use sunscreen...I know about getting sunburn ouch.
Reply:Tanning beds are as bad for you as tanning in the sun, if not worse! Both kinds of tanning may lead to skin cancer which can sometimes be removed with surgery, and sometimes leads to death.
Add to this the fact that Proactive solution contains many chemicals which can be harsh on some skin-types, and often will make skin even more sun-sensitive, and you have a recipe for disaster.
If you are very attached to tanning, I suggest buying a gradual chemical tanning lotion instead. It's safer and cheaper than tanning beds.

What's a good dependable brand (not very expensive0 of sunless tanning?
Ive used Bananna Boat's "Everyday Glow." Its a lotion, that you apply over your entire body (including you face) and it wont turn you orange with in a few hours. You pick your shade of shin. (fair, medium, or dark) Its as simple as lotioning up everyday after you get out of the shower. You use it until you reach your desired color. I use it for 3-4days, then I stop for about 3-4days. What i like most about it, is that its oil free, and i can wear a white tee an hour after applying and there will be NO brown/orange marks on the tee! i hope this helps you out.

I reccomend getting the build a tan stuff that gives you a gradual tan and it won't turn you bright orange. I know jergens makes a great product, thay have lotion that you apply like a regular moisturizer and it gradually darkens your skin over time.
Reply:i have tried almost all and they all suck. they come out either streaky, orange or just look fake. go to a sunless tanning bed where they spray it takes 7 seconds and looks great
Reply:As far as I am concerned they all suck.I've tried exspensive ones and they make you orange just like the cheap ones do.Go to a tanning bed.

How old do you have to be to go into a tanning salon?

How old do you have to be to go into a tanning salon?
In most states you have to be sixteen AND have a parental signature. If you are 18 or older, than you have free range to tan wherever and whenever you'd like.
Reply:at the one i had to go to u had to be 16. my friend who is 15 went and had her mom sign a paper and she can tan as much as she wants to now too =)
Reply:if you are under 18, you need a parent. you can be any age though.
Reply:I dont know the exact age but I know my friend goes and she's 14.
Reply:first time if you're under 18 your parents have to sign saying it's okay and all that jazz. (LOL) then after that 14 and older at places where i live. These 2 places i know are 14 and older after 1st time but those are the only salons i've ever been in: TANNIN BARE and SUN TAN CITY.
hope i helped!

Reply:you can tan as early as your parents will let you. alot of the highschool girls like to tan before prom and they are what 15,16,17. so i dont know how old you are, but i dont think its a problem
Reply:alot of 15 year old girls in my school have done it, but think before you get it done, becasue even though it wares off in a while, it looks fake and orange and disgusting on every single person i've ever seen with it. it looks likes you've put way to much foundation on, but all over your body. it's obvious when you get a fake tan, just lay out in the sun for a while and get a real one, it's safer and it looks a hell of alot better.
Reply:i have seen 12 year old sgo in, it al depends where you go. Usually the age is 13 or 14.
