Guys what do you guys do to tan safely? The past couple shows i did i was kinda careless and didnt put much thought or know much about tanning either..but i plan on doin this for a while so how do you guys go about tanning? Ive used accelerators in the past and i just started tanning with sunscreen for a show this summer (obviously its going slower) but seriously is a tanning bed that dangerous as the sun? any suggestions?

I can honestly say that tanning in a bed is totally unneccessary. If you put on 6-8 coats of pro tan and then use a bronzer like dream tan you will be plenty dark. if you just wanna look good then go to a salon that does the spray on stuff. I did a level 2 (medium dark) and it came out pretty good actually.

i go every other day for 2 months up to the show, then 7 days out i get a level 2 spray tan, then 2 days out i get a level 3 spray tan, thenon friday night i start applying my pro tan, and dont stop till after i am done. i usually apply a coat every 2 hours. you can never be 2 dark

it might be called something different every where, but in New Brunswick, Canada it is called mystic tan. it is like 20 dollars, but i get mine for 5 of free, my girl friend works at a tanning salon. this is a extremely handy, i get 40% off my minutes and lotion.
