    im surprised no one told you.

    you actually have to get certified, through this organization called NOST (National Organization of Sun Tanners) it's like a 300 page book you gotta buy (i think its $55 or so). Read it, take a the test online (it's pretty easy) but I did the 2 day workshop which I recommend and it'll explain everything you need to tan, google NOST to learn more

    uh...i dont know what these other ppl are talkin about.

    just go three times a week when you start. 5 mins, 6 mins, 7, mins, up it by ONE minute. those young whores who work there wil try to amke you do two, but just say ONE. Remeber, they are dumb kids. After you get to ten minutes, tan every third day. Once you get to 15, every 4th day. Once you get to 20, every 5th day. It should take around a month to hit 20min. Rememebr. you wanna do this safely. If you come out red one day, stay out of the bed for 2 days, then REDO the time you burned at or go down one minute. I find redoing the time works. but no shame in dropping down a minute.

    peace,

    oh, and no suntan lotion or it wont work. i know, i was like what? but its tru. your only going in for 20mins at the max, and your slowly progressing from 5 mins.
    Thats another thing always start at 5. I dont care if the chick says its okay cuz you have olive skin. Is she a skin cancer expert?!!No. Tell her 5.

    Its pretty easy fitguy..my certification didnt take that long at all.

    All you gotta do is go through www.NOST.gov. I tried to get on the other day and upgrade my certification but the site is down, theyre trying to improve it for everyone that is signing up for the summer..since this is obviously their busiest time of the year. Hopefully it should up and running again soon.

    Fit here's whatcha do.. slather some baby oil on everything but your ding dong and wing wang..

    Get some aluminum foil and find the sunniest place in your front lawn. Position the foil so that it elluminates the sun upon your entire torso and lower body.. (You don't want a super duper tanned face now do u?)

    Put on some shades, and a speedo and grab a lawn chair and bask in the sun.

    Hope this helps

    Im glad someone helped him. I was feeling bad for him lol. Ya man just honestly lie in the damn sun and make sure you try to make it even all over, make sure you are moisturized, I never liked the idea of baby oil, just too messy for me. I just make sure I use a nice moisturizer everywhere first. And after as well cuz the sun can really dry you out and you dont want to be a peeler.

    Yeah, I'm about to be a peeler. Fvckin fell asleep..that didnt help

    LMAO....uhh DINGLE BERRIES are the things that get stuck in your butt hair from the toilet paper. The toilet paper kinda balls up from the rubbing of your butt and the stickiness from the poop makes it stick in your hair...not that I ever had any. Just thought you should know. I am also NOST certified it really educated me about the sun and tanning lotions and what not to do. I really think you should go to your local tanning shop and see if they have classes. Most good shops require employees to get cert. DEFF. look into NOST!

    I was going to follow this method but I'm not sure which tanning bed it assumes you're using...

    The place I go to has the regular beg, a bronzing one and the standing kind. (order of weakest to strongest)

    I'm assuming these times are for the normal bed but could I get some clarification please?

    Get this, my daughter works at a tanning salon. She actually had to get certified to work there. The test was done online and easy as hell, a chimp could have passed it. The state of Illinois just wants to make some easy money IMO. One of the dumbest things I ever heard of.
