    Who here does indoor tanning?

    I never been tanning before and want to get into it. But i dont know where to buy indoor tanning lotions. What website is legit for tanning lotions... I dont want to get scammed from buying fake tanning lotion... so plz post if you have experience and can tell me a good site to order tanning lotions from.. much appreciated.... i'd normally tan outside but its winter and i need to get tanning to help with my skin disease (seborrheic dermatitis). the sun rays eliminate all symptoms that i have.


    this is what i looked like in the spring. was disgusting, even creeped up on my neck...

    and this is what i looked like at the end of the summer.

    just from getting out in the sun shirtless to mow the lawn once a week...

    now i believe if i can get tanning done , ill be dark enough to cover it up+destroy most of it....

    and now its starting to come back slowly... i need to get tanning asap to help me out with this sh*tty disease... so plz if someone can just give me a legit site for tanning lotions it would be much appreciated.

    Tanning lotion as in .. for solariums? Or a bronzer type product? Just go to your local store that sells cosmetics etc and ask what the best seller is. I'm going to start regular solarium visits soon, sick of being pale and our summer is horrible right now.

    LOVE indoor tanning!!!!
    I used to burn in the sun allll the time (Im talking sheets of skin peeling off) but not once do I even get pink sence starting indoor tanning ~ just nice and golden
    I have tried a bunch of dif lotions... some can damage the beds/booths so be awear of that, but over all they are all a waste of moo-la the dif in using or not dont seem to make much of a diff IMO
    BUT
    I use one of my girly trix with it... I only put it under mucsels I want to define. So its like shading and accents what I want.
    example: on chest i put some between clevage, on arm i put a line under bicept when flexed, on calf I put some to the rite and left of my shin bone and than flex and shade the back etc, not like a huge noticable dif, I dont think ...but than again I have never asked anyone if they notice definition in the places I do this too lol

    If your in a standup booth...try diff possitions each visit or you could end up with "the smile" I call it ~ when you do change possitions some natural body creases dont get the rays...the bum is natorious for this and when a person bends over they have white lines where the but creace is...looks like the bum is smiling lol.
    most stand up booths pipe in music, I like to dance in the booth and pretend Im a gogo dancer in the 60's lmao...but than, again Im goof soooo unless you like feeling like a tard you may wanna pass on that.
    if on a lay down also change it up or your sides will be lighter and arm pits screaming white, tilt your head back so your neck isnt lighter than your face
    oh and before your stripping down in the room, check to see that they set the timer! It svx when your climbing in the booth/bed only to realized they forgot to set the time and than getting redressed to go out and remind them, than stripping down again ...ugggg lol

    hope that helps happy tanning

    Tanning is awesome. I always nap in the bed and find it very relaxing.

    Never used lotions before. I'll be interested in what other people have to say. I'm tempted to try that shading trick that sexy mentioned earlier

    I have been for years. As long as you use a good moisturizer prior and after to tanning, you will get great results. There are many tanning lotions available(and I have used) that have bronzers in them that give you a fake tan until washed off. These are only really good for if you need the little extra color prior to going to the beach or a pool party, the tan WILL NOT LAST simply from these lotions... I have tried $80 lotions, they are all typically the same. Don't waste your money unless like I said you want some instant color. Start off really low in the beds(minute wise), then slowly and I MEAN SLOWLY increase the time. One day getting burned in the tanning bed could set you back 2 weeks worth of tanning. Just like with a great physique, a great tan doesn't come over night. To get a perfectly even, dark tan it could take a couple months. Good luck!

    Try to get a hold of some Tattoo by Supre tanning lotion. You put it on while your tanning and it will make you go quite red for an hour or so, but then you will brown quite nicely. Definitely the best product I've used.

    I use MTII while indoor tanning and I get grat results. Not a big fan of the lotions because I am impatient and takes me too long to cover my body. With MTII I just inject and done.

    Also love MTII however I would suggest anyone using it start with a very small dose and I also do not think you need to preload nearly as much or as long as most advise (athough I have yet to experiment with this theory)

    As far as nuclear beds there are different wavelenghts of light used and I would suggest anyone who going to use beds to seek out the newer booths as they are much less likely to damage the skin, also if using MTII the amount of time spent in the booth can be minimal and still give great results. Combining the tow (MTII & New Beds/short duration) will give you a great tan with minimal risk.

    PS most tanning salons offer tanning lotions, however I simply take a small amount of olive oil and rub it on my skin in the morning after a shower to moisturize and thats adequate I hate the feeling of swimming in a layer of oil.

    Lotions PRE tanning are useless. Use a decent (not necessarily expensive) lotion POST tanning to deal with dryness. I'm of the opinion that lotions do nothing by themselves to accelerate or "keep" a tan. However, I think that keeping one's skin conditioned after the drying effects of tanning will help keep the tanned skin on your body longer.

    Haven't tried MTII yet. Are there other ways to get it aside from an AAS supplier?

    It all depends on the bed. Go to the place and they will start you out right. It depends on how fair your skin is and how easily you burn. They will ask you questions like this and recommend what you should do
