Tanning

[Bamboo]

I posted this in the Style,fashion board but didn't get any responses so here it goes again.

I am new to tanning and searching for a good tanning lotion. What is a good lotion for a begginer? Right now I am thinking of getting the Designer Skin Mystere, but I'm not really sure of what they mean when they say that it is a bronzer. Is it ok for a begginer to use a bronzer such as this? Also since I am not sure of what I want yet, I have been looking at some John Abate stuff too. Could anyone reccomend anything from either of these lines that would be good for a begginer?

Both Designer Skin and JA products are pretty solid. You need to determing if you like the tingle factor in the lotions or not. I do, and I also like a heavy bronzer. They are both good products, but I prefer the JA products personally...but you are also going to probably pay more for JA than you are Designer Skin.

I still like the Power Tan, Liquid Sun line the best...reasonable price, tingle, light to no smell, good quality, etc...

I didn't know tanning was so difficult, then again every time I go out in the sun I turn into a lobster.

What exactly does a bonzer do? Also why are begginers usually advised to stay away from the tingle formulas?

 

[HighIntensity]

high tingle factors will burn people without a solid base.

If you are talking about hitting the beds, then go 3 times a week for three weeks. Use cocoa butter after words to solidify your tan.

After try either a stand up bed or high intensity bed, the best tingle factor I ever used was scream by Australian gold, real nice.

Mystere is the best smelling product on earth. I would make love to my bottle if my tally whacker would fit in it.

LOL...while you swill vanilla coke?

Tanning beds are really really bad for your skin. If you go regularly you WILL get skin cancers.

Yes, the people that work at my gym always give me weird looks when I carry a 2 liter bottle of Vanilla Coke into the tanning rooms.


This was the first time that I have used the tanning beds in years. Then again, this is the first time that I have been single in years.

Why do you say that? Cancer?

Anyway, talking about tanning. Went to the beach today with my girlfriend. Beautiful day here in Barcelona. Golden topless beauties wearing nothing more than a strategically placed eye patch. Not your cup of tea MB I know. Plenty of marujas who looked like they swallowed a beach ball as well. Don´t you miss this country!

Something useful. From what I understand it takes at least a week for the skin to produce new melanin from uv exposure. SO, any tanning before that can only come from left over melanin from your last tan. Keep that in mind and be careful and patient.

Yeah I was very pleased with it. It is the only lotion that I have used though. It doesn't have an "tingle factor" like a lot do now, but I got a lot darker after using it for a few weeks.

Bamboo: A bronzer puts a sort of "fake" tan on you. A good quality heavy bronzer seems to fit me ok though, I don't mind. You just need to wash your hands very well afterwards though.

As far as the tingle...it really doesn't do anything. They just happen to put the tingle ingredients into better quality lotions...the lotion is better because it is better quality...not because of the tingle.

Use a good lotion...always.

I don't like the Austrailian Gold product. I've been to their warehouse, bought their beds and lotion...and I really think that their lotion is something that you get what you pay for. Their stuff is cheap and it is made that way. They make their Sweedish Beauty (yes, made by the same company as AG) with good quality...but you pay a lot more for them.

I have never used a high intensity bed (not cost efficient in a salon IMO) so I can't comment on them.

Causing cancer...there is not enough solid proof of that claim. Remember, moderation is key, moderation is key.

Australian gold has a new line of products that are high quality tho... the glaze products are all good...

 

[b fold the truth]

I didn't care too much for the glaze either...but they are a vast improvement over their regular line. They are a pretty good product but I think that they are fairly expensive in price. Can't really remember.

Austrailian Gold and California Tan both set their markets towards the consumer who wants to just have a lotion. They want to pay $5 for a bottle of lotion and get supreme results. They do very well from this because most people are uninformed tanners. I still feel that you get what you pay for...

I did feel like I was being screwed where I tanned in Chattanooga. I would go the full time (and expensive as can be) and only get a little sun. Where I live, and used to work, I only tan 1/2 of the allotted time and get TONS of sun. The lamps that they use DO make a difference!!!

Sorry I don't know how to answer your question because us Mexicans are naturally tanned.

 

[Frackal]

I do not recommend bed or suntanning at all... I definitely saw some skin damage/aging that thankfully is pretty much gone and easily repaired with a ton of shit, but I only use a sunless spray spa tanning booth now, I like it better, it's quicker, you're tan in 1 visit.

You will likely have skin problems if you consistently burn. I used to go to the tanning bed every day (Monday - Friday) but only for 5-10 minutes in a 20 minute bed. I never burned but would get nice and tan. Once I got the tan that I wanted I would go 1-2x per week.

If you can get a base tan from the tanning bed and it helps you NOT to burn outdoors, then it is serving your purpose. You just don't need to ever burn.

I like the tanning salons that sell you a package that works on "minutes" not sessions. If I want to go 7 minutes in a 20 minute bed...I can. I can also increase by 1 minute every time I go to the tanning bed. I can increase my resistance slowly...

Just avoid the burn, tan slowly and smartly. Drink lots of water and use lots of lotion and use it often.
