1st time tanning

[SoreArms]

I just went to the taning salon for the first time.

thye have this deal, $50 for unlimited visits for one month.

I am pretty pale right now so I just did 10 mins. today, I want to go 3 -4 times per week.

Is 10 mins. OK until I build a good base?

what tanning lotion do you guys reccomend for pale skin (preferably odorless)?

What kind of bed is it? What is the maximum time? a Level 1 lotion will help produce surface melanin and then after that you can move on to the level 2 and higher which will help bring out melanin from deeper in the skin. Odorless is kind of hard, however a great lotion is california tan's CFX. you will notice a difference the first time you use it.

not sure what kind of bed it is, but I took the weaker one out of the two kinds they have. The maximum time on the tanning bed I used is 20 mins.

my body is a light red right now (sun burnt) just from those 10 mins yesterday, should I lessen the time?

I was thinking of going back today, should I wait a few days in between, atleast until the redness goes away or is it OK to go back?

I would wait a few days and then go back... if you get burned then you may peel and that is like starting over... so make sure you at leats get a lotion that has a good moisturizer.

Go for short periods of time at first till you get that base tan going, then you can up the time.

I always start out at 10, and move up by one minute each session.

That is what happened to him when he stayed in the tanning bed too long.
