    Tanning

    Do you guys do it? If so for how long and how often usually. Is it as bad as they say? I just signed up at a huge gym with a tanning salon and I've been going here n there...I kinda enjoy it but I don't want to **** up my skin

    I only do it in the summer. I start at 12 minutes and go up by 2 mins at a time till 20. Then I'll go like every other day. Most people look better tan. I think if you're not going overboard and not doing it year round, you should be fine.

    Yes if you tan too much it will fvck up your skin.

    I used to tan hardcore between 17-20 and I can tell today the texture of my skin is rougher and just aged looking.

    Both my brothers are older and have never tanned and their skin just looks younger, smoother and tighter. It gives the skin a scaley rough look after years pass by.

    I still love tanning I just don't use beds a lot anymore, its too intense and burns the shit outta the skin.
    If you spend an hour in the sun everyday (during summer) its a much slower, less traumatic effect on the skin. Honestly I'd just stay the eff away from the beds, their like little radiation vessels just destroy your skin. You can even use an oil with like a 6 SPF rating it will help moderate the process. Its just better I think to tan slower and consistent then little spurts of intense radiation like the beds too. Convenient? yes, but def a price to pay down the road..

    I go twice/week in a stand-up for 7 min each time. I keep that light bronze color all year long and it helps with my skin also look good...

    Sounds like a pretty crappy place. They should have asked you a bunch of question which helps them determine how long you should go in for.
