How many of you use tanning beds?
 

I do throughout the winter and to help kick start my summer tan.

How about you?

I try to go one time per week but have been getting lazy with my regimen :(

I got 3-4 times a week, unless I'm out in the sun and get a normal tan.

When I lived in AZ I was waitressing at this strip club and this dancer who worked at another club came in and asked us all to go into the locker room with her.

She had 3rd degree burns all over her entire body. She had been in a tanning bed for less than 15 minutes. Apparently the salon where she went had decided to give people a better tan faster they would put the bulbs that belong in a stand up booth into a bed.

I haven't tanned in a salon since then. I think I would rather take my chances with a bottle of spf 15 and the sun.

Nothing like an early start on skin cancer!

i do.. its being then laying in this az sun

OV Filters...

I take a nap under it about 2 times a week.

true that tanning beds are just as damaging as the sun

scary thing is that sun tan = skin damage, so watch out, luckily it seems that a natural tan lasts much longer and is probably just as healthy, make sure to use spf and build it up slowly this way you wont kick yourself when your 40 and dying from cancer

I used a tanning bed once when I was 18 and thought it was awesome but now I'm just paranoid when I see older ladies that were obviously in the sun a lot. Yikes! I've been using the self tanner :)

I go once a week. Real powerful standup booth, only takes 8 minutes. Then have a nice all over tan.

For the females who don't like to tan, try using Benefit's Flamingo Fancy. It isn't a self tanner but it is a lotion that gives you a shimmery tan for the day or evening.

When I was a kid I use to work at a health/tennis club we had tanning booths. I had to clean those beds after people came in.
First: I did not do the best job cleaning & second there were some really gross people who came and and left gross stuff behind! ILL PASS!

Yeah, I do.............................NOT.

I am fortunate, that I have au natural tan.

I don't need to do that, because tan is my natural color :winkwink:

I havent used the tanning beds in years..skin cancer seems to run in my family. Although I am thinking of going for a bit of color this summer. I wear spf 45 outside when i climb out of my coffin:glugglug

Used to indoor tan 7 days a week. Now I'm lucky to get there for 1 day :(

I usually do 3-4 times a week but been so busy with site work lately that I'm now pale as a ghost :(

I need one at home :Graucho

Ivy

i prefer the tits on the beach :Graucho

not me

:1orglaugh

I just tried one recently, i was sick of being so freeking white duyring the winter...it was pretty cool i must admit

They're actually not that expensive. It's been a while since I was looking into starting a tan studio but single sided home beds started at 1200$ and 24 bulb 'regular' beds were about 2000$ (then the sky is the limit from there :P).
If you look at the amount of money and time you put into maintaining a tan every month home beds are much cheaper.

my friend works at a tanning salon, I think its better than the sun:2 cents:

It's about the same as far as it's negative effects on the skin and how it jumpstarts skin cancer.

I end up going to the microwave about twice a week. :)

I got one at the crib:winkwink:

twice a month for 15 minutes im only going to go until my entire body is even so i dont look streaky or orange :)

I love to fake and bake :1orglaugh I go in the winter but now its nice in San Diego so I have been going to the beach.:thumbsup

nope...i have been a few times but not usually

:1orglaugh

^ my reason for not Fake N Bake'ing :thumbsup

Whats a tanning bed?

I go at least once a week, once you get it going it is easy to maintain in the summer. Make sure you use sun block .

No. To afraid of skin cancer.

no fake baking here

I love the tanning beds.
20 minutes of quite time... turn the stero on and relax.... it's great.
I really should get back into it.

:thumbsup

Not for me!

i dont think so, fake tans look really cheezy

those this are really bad for you.

No, I prefer not to have cancer.

but i don't mind it when chicks have the tan lines:thumbsup

I do, but MAYBE only like 1-2 times a week. I have to be in the mood to get up and go.

I love tanning but how do i get rid of the spots that don't tan under my arms?

Damn you 36DD's!! :)

that's a problem i have the perfect solution too:thumbsup

i'll hold them in place for you whily you're tanning

when I need a tan I go to Vanilla's house and lay out in the pool ;)

Nope. Just lay at the pool or beach in the summer.

I used to when I lived back on the east coast...but since moved to Cali, Ive been going to Venice Beach instead.

Haven't used one of those since my teens (we had one at home), I'm really fair and need to use a high SPF in the summer when I'm out at the beach.
