    Tanning routine?? please help

    Hey Guys,
    this summer I will be working full time and wont have time to lounge around on weekends in the sun for hours building the nice brown tan. My gym membership comes with unlimited tanning on a pretty decent bed. One I establish my base tan I was wondering what kind of regiment I would have to do to maintain or even slowly darken the tan. Once i have a base i can sit in there for about 20mins each session. How does this look

    Tanning: 3x week 20mins Monday, Wed, Sunday?

    You need a pretty good tan, before you're able to go for 20 minutes. I'd start at 6-8 minutes, and work your way 1-2minutes. I haven't gone for a tan in quiet awhile, but even with a base tan, it's easy to burn.

    I would agree with cfiler. 20 mins is a bit much when your starting out again. 6-10 minutes and gradually increase as your tan develops. Use tanning accelerators containing hemp seed as this will help your tanning process. Always moisturise after using the sunbed.

    If possible in your city, find a place with "High-Pressure" beds. You rarely burn and every visit is like 6 regular bed visits. Dark in 3 or 4 visits. Tan once a week to keep dark.

    Check out highpressuretanning.com to see what the beds may look like.

    I own a chain of tanning salons, so trust me, I know my tanning.

    Also to answer you question, if the beds are crap, as most gyms I would still only go 15 mins in those beds 3 times a week. Sometimes with tanning less is more, just like juice.

    If you can find a place with high-pressure beds, you could tan every 7-10 days once and keep the same tan as you describe 3 times a week.
