What is the earliest month to get affective tanning?

I am deffinetly not the tannest. I live in the Mid West and I was wondering what the earliest month was that I could get tan.


(I don't like tanning beds...bad experience.)


Thanks!

Unless you can be out in the sun, go for a spay on tan.

I know I wasn't asked this but I'm gonna say any way. Tanning is horrible for your skin. You can even get skin cancer from it, my dad did and he is very dark. It dries your skin out. It causes wrinkles. It may look good, but it's not healthy. Consider cultivating the un-tan. I'm so glad I did. I have very few wrinkles, and only expression wrinkles, not ones that stay around. I'm too light to tan, and I gave up. I'm so glad, I'm 50 and it's so nice to pass for at least 10 years younger than that.

Tattoos and tanning booths?

I got my Tattoo in November


Its small simple black and red on my shoulder blade


Would indoor tanning damage the tattoo in any way such as discoloration?





I know my artist said to put sunblock on it when in the sun so that obviously means UV rays can do some damage to it..





Anyone know for sure?

You definitely want to put a high sunblock on it or cover it. Color tattoos, whether in the real sun or the "fake" sun will fade much quicker.

not it wont if held ur fine
Reply:I don't think it will hurt it.
Reply:you're fine.
Reply:Going to cause/speed fading process, even more so if you have colour.





Maybe cover it if you can, you say it's small. Otherwise strong sunblock on it.
Reply:it will defiantly speed the fading process. either cover it completely or use the strongest sunblock you can get to protect it.


Can I go in a tanning bed when i have several cuts?

I have a problem cutting myself, and lately after a break up with my bf they had gotten worse. I am trying to let them heal but they are still a little tender. I feel better about myself when i am tan, idk why but it looks nicer. I was wondering if i could still go in a tanning bed even though i have several slightly open wounds?

You probably shouldn't. It might get infected.


But really hun, please go see a therapist.......
Can I go in a tanning bed when i have several cuts?
no. an open wound is a break in the skins natural protection barrier and you will be susceptible to germs and could get a bad infection. put some polysporin on the cuts and cover. you do need to see a counselor for the self cutting, there are other ways to reduce stress without hurting yourself. use some self tanning lotion on your skin that is not cut/intact for a nice healthy glow, tanning beds are not healthy even if you're not cut. skin cancer, premature aging, etc.
Reply:Firstly if you use a sunbed you would be using accelorator cream too, which isn't supposed to be used on broken skin. Second, being on a sunbed will slow down the time it takes for them to heal, so you'll be left with white marks around them from not using accelorator and they will take a long time to heal. I own a tanning shop, so I would definitely advise you to wait


Jergens sunless tanning lotion?

Jergens sunless tanning lotion?
It depends on which one you're talking about if you're talking about the gradual tanning lotion it works really well it gives your skin a natural looking glow... but if your talking about the spray tan you'll look orange.. you apply the gradual tanning lotion like twice a day that's what i do anyway

Is it ok to go tanning even if i'm on an antibiotic?

Unfortunatly my wisdom teeth got infected so i'm on an antibiotic for that (just started this morning) However, i REALLY want/need to go tanning... my mom said thats not safe since i'm on an antibiotic. Is this true? or is my mom making things up since she doesnt want me to go tanning
Is it ok to go tanning even if i'm on an antibiotic?
She's right. You're not supposed to get sun exposure or use tanning beds while you're on it. Sometimes you can look at the medication info and it'll tell you about side effects and precautions.





Just wait, being paler for a little while won't kill you ^_^
Is it ok to go tanning even if i'm on an antibiotic?
No she isnt making it up antibiotics could make your burn, I know when I was on them an went to florida, was out in the sun on the beach for most of the day came in and my skin burned and some of it bubbled...


It may just depend on the medication also, I would forgo it for a few days. Just to be safe.


Does SUnless tanning lotion work or whAT??

I bought some coppertone sunless tanning lotion. It works at whatnot, but then just washes off in the shower. Anyone got some advice or sumthing?
Does SUnless tanning lotion work or whAT??
Well, are you showeing before it has been 6 hours? If so, don't. On the label it says 3 hours,but ive found 6 hours works best. Good luck, its a great product
Does SUnless tanning lotion work or whAT??
You should really try Jergens Energy glow...it really really works! The only bad thing is it kind of smells weird but it does give you a naturaly looking tan! It's not expensive either; You can purchase it at any local drug store or wal mart..


I just wanted to add that I usually put it on AFTER my shower because not only is it a sunless tanner it is also a moisturizer so it's good for your skin.
Reply:This product is simply a stain. The longer you leave it on, the more pigment will stain the skin. If you wash the stuff off prior to 6 hours, you will not get the maximum benefit. I used the stuff a couple of weeks before my trip to Hawaii last year and it took a little bit of time to get it right. Just make sure not to leave the obvious spots unstained. I totally forgot about my armpits the first time and totally dorked out. he he.
