I don't have a bodybuilding competition,but I think I am so white that I look sickly...I'm outside training and riding the bike for hours on end, but my skin stays as pale as a piece of paper. Any suggestions? I dont want to be dark, thats not in my complexion, I just want to look like one of the living.<P>DarkAngel||208.133.253.198||reg||

They are a pain in my opinion and many of them stink but they do work.  You have to apply them carefully.  And apply them two or so days BEFORE you are baring your skin.  You will be surprised and spots you may have "missed" or not blended in enough.<P>When you go in the tanning bed, do you put on SPF?  Thats what I do...and start with 10m or 5m or something with the SPF on.  It really helps.<P>Welcome to the board btw.<P>------------------<BR><I>Patience is a bitter plant, but it has sweet fruit.</I><P>||207.114.143.128||reg||

I highly recommend a tanning bed called the "sunsport 2000" or something along those lines.  You lay on it for 20 minutes at a clip and you will never burn because of the types of rays emitted (not saying you won't prematurely age your skin or that you won't get skin cancer) and you will get the deepest, darkest, longest lasting tan EVER!<P>Call local salons and ask about it.||24.4.252.72||reg||
Z||000005||DarkAngel||08-11-2000||11:48 PM||dark_angel1@ziplip.com||I think I'll check out that bed..Im serious tho, I am outside all day in a bathing suit or riding clothes...and i swear I have NO color...must be my genes, but its been like this for my whole life. Everytime I have tanned in a bed, I burned very badly...but it was never one of those beds. And yes, I do use SPF when I tan, I just pretty much gave up on the bed.<BR>I have heard that there are new stand up beds with the lights surrounding you...anyone ever try those? <BR>DarkAngel||208.133.253.198||reg||

They just help for thoes who are pressed for time and thoes people who don't move around alot in the beds.. because it gets rid of the lines down the side of your body.. If your really want color your best bet is sunless tanning spray.  Just make sure to really exfoliate your body to get all the dead skin off or you will get color spots.||206.75.40.49||reg||

Z||000009||IronChick||08-12-2000||04:00 PM||fit1@hotbot.com||DarkAngel...with a name like that you're sheet white??? I don't wanna depress you here, but I have this terminally white problem, too. I have tried everything and every bed they have - VHR, Super-VHR, stand-up, which is just another VHR bed so you can get under the arms and the sides of your torso. I can't remember all the different names, but my latest quest was at a place with brand new equipment, really expensive beds. I tried them all - they screen this, they screen that, UVA, UVB, whatever!!! I still had to tan every other day and probably could have done it every day if I wanted to. They tell you only 1x week is necessary. Maybe for most, but not me. I did this for 3 months and still only got a mild base tan. I have to use several coats of tanning product to get a tan that will stand up to bright lights. I have concluded that I just don't have enough melanin to produce a golden brown tan. The one positive thing I can say is if you use the high quality beds as opposed to the standard, you won't burn. I don't use the x-ray machines year round, tho, cuz of the premature skin aging and the dangers we all know about, so I gotta be white most of the time.  <IMG SRC="http://www.elitefitness.com/ubb/frown.gif">||192.135.215.20||reg||

I am a very white boy (of German, Irish descent, grew up in PA) but with tyrosine supplementation I am able to tolerate a lot more sun and tan a little darker. My tan lasts a little longer as well. This has made a huge difference living in FL.<P>I am assuming you all know of the drug for psoriasis (sp?) that will make you very tan. I forget the name and have never been able to find any, but some people still claim to be using it.<p>[This message has been edited by shmucko (edited August 17, 2000).]||63.70.193.150||reg||3
