Tanning- Posted: 10-13-04 14:08pm
Hey everyone-
I am very very faired skin. I was
wondering if I will be able to tan in the
tanning beds because I am so fair skinned.
Yes, I have used them before...But I
didnt tan very much and I only used them
around 4 times each amount of time I went.
Do you have any tips to help me get tan?
Any lotions I could use that will help
with my paleness?
Thanks,
kristin nicole

I tried on lotion once I cant remember
what it was called but it was in a gold
colored bottle, and it worked. I know im
mexican and tan already but my upper legs
and stomach are whiter than white. So it
worked nicely. I dont know about tanning
bed though, I never used em. I just go
out in the sun and tan. Ill get sunburnt
but then the next day the burn is gone and
turns to brown lol

Im fair skinned too. If im gonna go to
the sunbeds I am really careful. I start
by only going for 4 minutes for a couple
of sessions every 4 days. Then I put it
up to six after a couple of weeks. Then
once every week or two for 8 minutes to
top up!!
Make sure you get your skin used to it
first!! Dont over do it coz fair skinned
people tend to go that kinda reddy tana nd
I dont think thats nice
also haveing fair skin is the in thing at
the mo! So dont be too hard on yourself
Since you're fair skinned they just won't
let you go in for very long the first time
and then they'll add a couple mintues each
time you go. Get a membership and go in
the vip beds, they work the best. Also,
use an enhancing lotion, not sunscreen.
You can buy lotion there but it's
expensive so go to sallys or something.

If you want the lotion that works the
best, buy it through the salon. Ask them
about your skin type. You should get
three kinds of lotions. One to help you
develop a good base tan, then the tan
enhancer, and then once you reach your
plateau (you feel like you're not getting
any tanner no matter how much you keep
going) you have to buy another kind of
lotion. Once you start tanning, have
another kind of lotion for when you aren't
tanning so your skin is always kept
moisturized. Don't use any kind of
loofah or exfoliaters because that could
make your tan fade. Dry skin doesn't
tan, it hasto be moisturized. Plus, you
dont want to peel. I used to tan a lot,
and I can't wait until january so I can
tan again.

I heard that taking a hot shower b4 you go
to the tanning beds helps you get more tan
b/c the water opens up your pores and
allows you to soak up the rays.
