    If you’ve never tanned I would try the misting type of tanning. It’s instant and doesn’t harm your skin the way the UV lights will.
    With the instant tan you need to exfoliate with a salt or sugar scrub that does not contain any mineral oil prior to tanning. After tanning make sure to use a good lotion that does not contain mineral oil to make your tan last longer.

    dont do it.

    its skin cancer in a box.

    tanning beds use UVA rays to tan you.
    UVA rays can cause skin cancer!

    Get some basic tanning lotion….
    Dont tan but maybe 5 -8 minutes your first time…
    After a few weeks of going, get Tingler lotion,
    (it makes you alot darker, but it turns you really red rite after you use it, it tingles, alot, but your body will get use to it and it wont tingle anymore)
    The first time i used it i told my sister it felt like i walked through a fire!! but after the third time i used it, i couldnt feel it!

    it depends what kind of tanning you mean, if it’s spray on tan than all you need is a bathing suit and a hair cap…if you mean the kind of artificial tan with the lamp, use tan lotion, use after sun with allow Vera after… Careful, artificial tanning is EXTREMELY bad for your skin, it makes you get wrinkles early!!!! if tanning natturally doesn’t work well for you, it takes to long, or you don’t attract the sun very well: here is a helpful trick that is not bad for your skin: spraid oil and lemon on your body (not anywhere near eyes), and tan for like fifteen minutes and you will have an attractive copper tone tan!!!!
    good luck!!!! :D

    The first time you go tanning go only for like 5 minutes. Return a couple of days later, or maybe even a week and go for 8 or 10 minutes. DEFINITELY use a tanning lotion. At the beginning I didn’t use anything and I would start peeling everywhere like crazy! but now that I use a tanning lotion I don’t peel at all :-)
    Now , on with the “tanning is bad for you”. It is. This is the 3rd topic I’ve posted this on, but I just feel like sharing my experience. I’m 24, I have been tanning (always outdoors) since I was born. I just started going to the tanning salon like 2 months ago and last week I went to the derm and he told me I have sun damage in my skin! what is sun damage? its what old ladies get! and i’m 24! Fortunately, because I’m young, the damage is reversible. Just be careful when tanning ok? Use spf of 30 or more if you can. It ‘ll take you more time to get tanned but it’ll protect you more.
