Hello ladies,

have a quick question about tanning :)

When you go to tanning at salons, how do you get the tans, i.e. do you take everything off, or do you leave bottoms (bikinis, thongs, g-strings) on so that you get tan lines?
 
When I went to a tannning salon, I took everything off & stood either on flip flops or a towel (I'm weird about going barefoot in public places)
 
I managed a tanning salon for two years. It is pretty gross the stuff that goes on there. But, you should just make sure that the place you tan is really clean and that the acrylic on the beds is really clean. All salons are required to use a certain type of cleaner that will kill all the gross stuff, so just look at the acrylic before you lay down and make sure that there is nothing on it. You can also look at the top of the bed.
Chances are that if the tanning room is clean (i.e. floors vacuumed, no lotion on walls, top of bed isn't dusty, stuff like that) then the bed is probably really clean also. Good luck!
 
mandy, thanks for the tips :)

the salon i go to looks pretty clean. i am a little paranoid about stuff like that so i bring disinffectant wipes with me and wipe the bed before i lie down just in case.

as for the tan lines... i find sometimes faint tan lines around the bikini area to be very suggestive and kinda sexy, but i guess that's just me :)

I agree millie - there was a girl in the gym the other day with tiny shorts on, and you could just see some little tan lines on her hips. It was quite sexy. But, then I see them on me, and don't find them as sexy.

Guess I like my fat tan, not white. :) lol
 
I won't wear anything but eye protection. When I was 16 I deemed it uncool to wear eye protection and now have permanent issues with light sensitivity. What a moron.

I LOVE tanning but whenever I'm in there (nude of course...no tan lines for me) I stress about how damaging it is. Last month I was exposing various bacterial cultures to UV light in intervals of 10-90 seconds. And everything over 60 seconds of exposure pretty much killed everything on the plate due to the UV mutating the bacteria's dna so much. That's not a happy thought when I'm in there now.
 
I have a string with a 2" patch of cloth that I wear as a bottom. Virtually no tan lines and it's comforting to think that I'm not completely naked in a public tanning bed. When I'm just laying out in the backyard... full on nude. :) I love living in the sticks.

I try not to preach, but ladies, please go light on the tanning. I wound up with a pre-cancerous mole and it was in a spot that only got tan when I was in the tanning salon. I tanned for about 2 years, that's it. I am fair and have blue eyes, so that puts me in the more likely category for getting skin cancer, but just be careful girls. Now I have a little scar left as a reminder and next week I have to go in for a re-check as I have another suspicious mole.
 
And that puddles, scares the hell out of me. Plus I look at my grandma who is in her early 70's and looks SO much younger than all of her much younger sun-goddess sisters. They look like leather and she looks beatiful. Lately I've been sticking to bronzing powder. :)
 
I hope it turns out as nothing puddles.
 
Thanks.

Raina, you're so on it about the wrinkles too. I'm 38 and have a few fine lines, a few years ago I could just use some powder on my face to hide the shine (I have oily skin) but now if I use powder I see these little lines and it irks me! I don't know if it would have happened at this age or not weather I tanned or not, but damn, that alone is enough to make me wear SPF on my face every day. LOL

I use the self tanning spray booth now when I want some color for special occasions. It's a bit of a pain in the ass, I have to go 3 times to get a nice even tan and it's not relaxing like laying under the warm bulbs but it's what I have to do to stay safe. My husband is Italian and has beautiful skin, I get sooo jealous! He can go sit outside in the sun for 15 minutes and it looks like he's been tanning in the salon for a month.
