tanning questions

[dr0832]

Right now I have hardly any color. I am not rediculously pale on arms and and face because I was in miami a month ago, but I have very little color. How often would I need to go. I only use stand up tanning machines like the cyclone because of acne problems from sweating. I went in the cyclone once for 5 minutes and got a little color, but then I wasn't sure when to go again. A week later I went in for 7 minutes and got a mild sun burn that last for 4 days. I don't want to be dark but mainly just want to cover up red spots from acne and acne scars.

are you not using sunscreen?

I would reccomend at least a SPF 15.

Sunscreen will still allow you to tan. and actually the moisturizers and stuff that are in it will help make it more even. at least that has been my experience.

go twice a week to start...once you have a good base going, you can go every other day till you are satisfied. then maybe once or twice a week to maintain

sun screen clogs my poors and I get a lot more acne. Even the non oily types that are not suppose to.

avoid burning at all costs.

if you peel that is like starting over so it would all just be a waste of time

ok then I guess I will try 5 minutes twice a week for a couple weeks and see what happens. Since I stopped taking antibiotics 4 days ago I have 20 cysts on my back. Its pretty nasty and the damn fuckers hurt.

I would try a little longer the 5 min, alos they should seel a lotion 4 ur face at the salon.

get california tan x power with bronzer and the face lotion that omes with it... sure it costs $80 or so... but use sparingly and it will make a huge difference... and i mean HUGE.

go a few times a week till your body gets used to it

oh I forgot to mention, when I got burned I did not peel. Why is this. Anytime I get burned in natural sun it peels. I know a firend of mine used to burn and then continue to get sun and then they would get a real dark tan, but frying your skin like that seems like hell and also seems like your asking for skin cancer.

Thats good that u didnt peel, after getting burt it should develop into a tan(or at least a base)

For a quick tan, use Banana Boat tanning oil or lotion w/ SPF 4. That stuff is the schnizzle. I put it on before I go for a run (The oil), and I get plenty of honks. It gives your body a bronze color and your sweat rolls right off. It makes you tan about twice as fast as you would w/o it, maybe even faster. I'd definately recommend it to anyone who needs/wants a tan.

Um I don't think that someone with pale skin should put any oil on. Thats asking to looking like a tomato.
