Do you go to the tanning salon?
 

I try and go once a week so I'm not "green" in the middle of winter. I saw this lady yesterday who tans everyday GROSS! She looked like an old saddle....lol :1orglaugh

never been to one. I enjoy being a white boy

Yeah but havent gone since i got my new tattos , waiting for em to heal first

I'm a redhead. I tried it before Florida Internext...cost me three hundred dollars to do the bronze only one and all I got was a light coating....

I'll stay pale.

It's fucking cold outside. I'd better stay at home.

I use to back in Montreal but now i rarely go

Before summertime I do it to get a good base going. Every once in awhile during winter I'll do it if I start to look dead.

When I was younger, I always had a membership to a tanning salon and I would go once or twice a week. Be careful ladies. What you do to your skin when you are younger will show up as you 'mature'. Trust me.

No, I don't because I heard it's worse for your skin than going in the sun, tanning beds really can cause aging, wrinkles, and lead to an increase in the chance of getting cancer.

I only use self-tanner and lots and lots of MAC bronzer to bronze me up so I don't look deathly pale. I'm pretty pale, but I have never been to a tanning bed ever, it makes your skin look like rubber when you get older.

I am phobic about the sun, i wont even go outside with SPF 15 on, I guess its worked because someone jokingly (or not) said that I look like I'm 12 when I actually almost 30.... but i can pass for 16 because i have NO aging due to sun exposure...

I also like to use liquid bronzer on my body/legs sometimes too...

never happen. that shit is nasty for you and looks nasty too.

im naturally tanned, i have never tried a tanning salon ever. i want a whiter skin though :)

Just put a bit of vaseline on your tattoos before you tan! :winkwink: (I'm sure you have some...lol)

have been a few times but it never really stuck with me

I go once in a while ... like once every 2 weeks . Just gives me a little tan. I already have a dark skin for somebody comming from an almost 100 % european souche.

Tried before a trip to Hawaii, to stave off the burn. I had to do 2 minutes a day every other day for a week, and I still ended up cOVERED in freckles and with a light burn everywhere. No tanning for me.

I'm the same way. Not by choice, simply because I'm a webmaster.

thought about it, just cuz you see some people in the winter & they just look so sickly... I love regular tanning (how can you not love just lieing there under the warm sun.. never been though do you "feel" the heat? or do you just lie there.. my friend went too long once & man did he get burned looked way worse than just a normal sun burn...

I go once a week too. It helps with those winter blahs

When I was in Germany for a year, hell yes I did.

Other than that, no...Cali, FL and AZ have had plenty of natural sun for me...

:thumbsup

I go sometimes in summer but thats about it.

never been in my life..

Why do people do this in middle of the summer?

have when i was younger never have since

Ive never been. I tried the mystic spray tanning booth once, came out orange, and will never try again lol.

I am lightly toasted so I don't need to anytime of the year....LOL

this is insane! :D

I go to the tanning salon. The sad part of it though is that I live 1 mile from the beach. LOL

I go sometimes. I used to have one in my building so I'd go quite a bit. You know, there is nothing more silly than being orange in the middle of winter. lol

Never gone and never will, It's not good for you at all and that's been proven since the late 80's if not earlier. No thanks.

I like to go from time to time.. You gunna be in Vegas??

Perhaps we can share a booth??

My treat!

Almost all celebrities and models tan.

Stop being so paranoid and get a little color. Just don't over do it and use the lotion ti will speed up the process and protect your skin more.

Have you ever seen somebody so white that they appear translucent?

this will bring you cancer nothing more.
I am happy to be "green" even in the middle of summer - even natural sun is no good for your skin these days

me too, although maybe someday I would give tanning some consideration.

I've never been to a tanning bed and have no intentions of ever doing so. I stay pale year round and I like it that way.

She looks toasted... :(

And celebrities and models only do what's healthy and good for a person. So I should do what they do.

Hell Yeah baby! Maybe I can be part of BP4L....lol

I don't think you still need some tanning dude.. Your skin tone is just as good as mine.. :thumbsup

If you use self-tanning lotion it is 100% safe, you can be tan but don't have to go in the sun and don't have to use tanning beds.

The only drawback is that it fades fast, so you always have to maintain it, by exfoliating and applying a new layer all the time... but i enjoy doing it tho...
self -tanner and bronzer will give you Paris Hilton's faux tan anyday.

Actually I read that J-lo ONLY uses self-tanner... that and bronzer plus a great makeup artist does the trick... no need for silly tanning beds...

I'd rather be tan and wrinkle free then tan with rubber skin.
It's not hard to use self-tanning lotion, just common sense.

Nope, I haven't tried it.

not yet................. :)

Used to in my 20's. Its really bad for your skin and a leading cause of skin cancer as you get older.

Once every bluemoon I guess. I'm pretty pale needless to say.

Nope I dont go there!
I was diagnosed skin canser last year and had to do som surgery because of it!

I already have a darker complexion so I guess I don't need it.

Do it all the time - and for those that got wrinkles - obviously someone didnt tell you how to tan - doesnt matter if you do it in the sun or in a tanning bed.
You have to use a moisturizer constantly (this even applies to laying on the beach) and when I mean constantly - at least 5 times a day.

cancer??? no bigger risk than going out in the sun and a tanning bed (if its run correctly) is actually safer as you are limited to times that "should" prevent burning (if you go to a tanning salon and get burned - find another one-they dont know what they are doing.

For those that tried the mystics - yeah its gonna turn you orange because of the chemical they use - find a place that can do airbrush tanning and again - someone who sounds like they know what they are doing - it will come out fantastic (if they dont tell you it takes two applications two days in a row they dont know what they are doing)

now the good side (benefits) of tanning besides the color - new research shows that since we get most of our vitamin D from the sun (and all of these doctors are recommending everyone stay out of the sun) Vit D deficiencies are showing up in huge amounts - which also has shown an increase in bone deficiencies in older women especially (osteoporosis) since people started avoiding the sun. Makes sense kinda - doctors get more older patients to treat if they recommend avoiding the sun - and a huge percentage compared to the amount of skin cancers.
Skin cancer studies were conducted by the EPA to determine the effects of tanning - by using the data from teenagers in the 1960s that used to bake themselves under bare tanning bulbs that you could buy for your house - and yeah there was a huge increase - right along with all the teen girls that used to rub baby oil on themselves and lay out for hours on the beach - just not healthy no matter how you look at it. But unfortunately they fail to mention that the new tanning beds dont have that problem as they filter out most of the harmful parts of the UV and Id be willing to bet if that same study is done again in 20 years, there will be a huge decrease in skin cancer to the teen girls that are tanning nowadays.

not yet...and I hope I will never be so crazy :)
