Tanning expert here,

Alternate between the stand up booths and face machines. The beds don't get you an along the sides. There is a product called "mud shot", a small bottle cost $8.00. It works good for me and I'm tan all year long. Each time you go the tanning session is about 12 minutes. Do not ever double time to 24 minutes. I did that once and came out like a lobster. Hey, we all learn from our mistakes. I usually go every other day. Hope this helped you.

you can get ideas to help your tan, but really everybody can be VERY different in how they tan, and it depends on a lot of factors. Get a feeling for how your skin tans, and talk to the chick at the counter there, most likely she can reccomend a lotion to suit you.

They told you right man, you need to go about 6 times to buils your tolerance up, adding an extra minute each time. Then you have to tan for like 20 minutes about4 or 5 times. after that its like 1 time a week or so. good luck

yeah... you need to start out with very little minutes to build up yor tolerance, and then start upping the minutes after you've started getting darker. My first time back after winter, i go for about 10 min. just to get used to it again. I tan really easy so my max is only 15 min. 3 days a week to maintain. I don't use any lotions or oils anything. I think i get darker without using anything.

my tolerance is very high for tanning, i can go for 24 mins, 30 mins whatever i dont burn. However on tanning beds i find it hard to tan the inside of my arms, how can i tan this inside area! Someone told me to lift my arms above my head but they would come off the bed! She also said try going face down and putting my face into the pillow/head rest thing to protect my face, and putting my arms over my head with the inside of my arms pressed on the bed along with my chest stomach etc. basically face down heh. Can anyone give me any advice with this please.

thanks guys

Find a salon with a stand-up booth. Most of them have handles in the top of it to hold on to.

Also, to add to the forum, I have used the Ultrabronz high pressure bed for years. It's expensive but works great. They claim you can maintain a good tan with once a month visits. I've found that once a week is more like it to stay as dark as body-builders like to be. If you can talk a salon into it, you can get into a regular bulbed stand up booth for 10 minutes or so and immediately jump into the Ultrabronze and you'll get DARK fast (not recommended for beginners).
