Tanning

Sorry to link this in the wrong forum, but it seems the "Style, Fashion and Grooming" board is a ghost town.

Can anyone check this out? Id like to get started tanning and just need a few basic questions answered. If this thread is inappropriate please move or delete or let me know and I will delete it.

TIA

Put the tanning lotion of choice on and hit the tannin bed. Doesnt matter when weather it be before or after your workout. I usually like to go after my workout after im already hot and sweaty, cause once I lay in that bed for 20 mins... im worthless

Is there something like "Tanning Beds for Dummies". I've never used one and have a few questions, like:

• If I hit the tanning bed after my workout, taking a shower first would be the PC thing to do, right?
• Is it correct to do it completely naked? Is it healthy?
• How long should I be on the table?
• Should I take some kind of desinfectant spray to clean the bed before and after I use it?

So far I've been taking sun bads at home. Since I leave in a ranch and there are no neighbors or anybody to see me, I usually do it completely naked to avoid tan marks. But I think a bed would be more practical and would deliver better results.

1-2 grams of ALTYR before and after tanning. Will make a big difference.

also supplement zinc and copper 50mg/2 mg

I use Australia Bronze with anti-oxidants and moisturizers. It's a good lotion, not sure if you have it in the USA. Make sure you're well hydrated before and after the tanning, so keep a bottle of water with you.

1) no i do NOT take a shower first, they make you sweat like a pig anyways, so you'd just be getting clean to get dirty again
2) i go completely naked but cover up my cock/balls as i don't want to lose any sensitivity in that area, plus it would likely burn very easily
3) every tanning bed location i have ever been has their employees come in and sterilize or clean the bed after each use.....i do sometimes use a towel if i have a dirty one to wipe up the puddles of sweat if applicable

Just a tip, if you have a juicer drink a lot of carrot juice. and if you like them - i do - eat lots of beats as well. the combo on beats & carrots will give you good pigment under your skin. Tan in the real sun on the weekends hit the tanning bed on wednesdays or if you feel like if tues & thurs. My girl has been spraying me with nutrigena spray tan too - I like it so far. just like a black shirt in the sun - the darker you are the more sun you will soke up. Good luck bro! - from one white to another!

LOL.....but remember to take a clean sock for this, as a sweaty one around your genetalia could lead to some kind of fungus problems i would imagine!!

I wouldn't jerk off either...you CAN actually go blind

Remember to wipe off the top portion of the bed as well as a courtesy to the sweat mopper employees.

Also, avoid tanning at gyms/health clubs-they never change their bulbs. They just wanna offer tanning as an ammenity in their advertising so maintenance is low on their list of priorities. Especially when compared to a tanning place that offers nothing but tanning.

I have been tanning now for about 2 months, I go mon/weds/friday 20 mins each day, I really got dark quick, I use Australian gold idol, seems to work great for me, I bought one bottle at the gym for 55.00 the I checked on ebay the same bottle with s/h 30.00 so I bought another bottle,I always go after I work out, usually fall asleep. hope that helps

If your not used to tanning you can easily burn your ass, so be careful with going naked and how long your in....it sucks having to look like an idiot everytime you go to sit down.
