ok, whenever i go tanning, most of the time once or twice a week. i never put on any lotion or anything. i mean they sell some differnt stuff at the counter but ive never asked about it. i just go in, tan for 20 min then leave, i never have put anything on, ever. and i now know that i should be, so what do you guys put on, just a reguler sun screen or something. what different things could i try. thanks
I'll move this to the spa where it gets more hits.
~SC~
i wouldn't put on regular sunscreen...you'll end up negating the purpose of your tanning session.
but a lotion isn't a bad idea...especially if you have pretty dry skin b/c of the tanning. besides that, it's supposed to help with the tanning process. How, i don't really know...
so its not that bad to go tanning and not put anything on. do you guys ever do that, because i always hear people talking about differant oils and stuff. and i never put anything at all on, i just go there tan and leave. what do you think?
oil will help the tanning process, for sure.
I personally don't use any because I'm fairly dark skinned to begin with, and I like drying my skin out pretty good (helps me avoid acne).
guess it's up to you. find out what works best.
Skin that isn't moisturised hardly ever tans bro. I would use an accelerator with hemp seed. Moisturise after using the sunbed aswell.
Moisturized Skin tans better than dry skin... though you can tan without a lotion it is not recommended, there are several different types of lotions you can use... Tanning Accelerators, Bronzers, and tingles... Accelerators are to aquire a base tan, along with maintain your tan once a tan has been accumulated. Bronzers are more known as "self tanners" NEVER use a bronzer until you've accumulated a base tan. It may turn your skin orange if the bronzer is to strong for your skin. Tingles are used to break tanning plateus (sp?) NEVER use a tingle lotion on your face for it can be the cause the facial problem roscia. Also if you do not already have a base tan you should start @ your skin types recommend tanning exposure limit...Quote:

No. You can't use outdoor sunscreens on the sunbeds as it messes up the glass.Quote:

but its ok to go without putting anything on at all, right?
lets put it this way, its fine to go without anything but some oils make a HUGE difference as they have chemical cataylsts that speed the uv/skin protein synthesis process a lot quicker than not using any oil. Still knowing this i never use oil cuz i only go tanning 2 or 3 times a year and do it usually just if i break out really bad. If you actually tryn to develop color or a rich dark tan anyone who tans consistently will tell you BUY A NICE CREAM, just ask some hot chick at the counter whats good and she'll recommend something with a tingle factor that will melt your testicles.Quote:
