Ok, went tanning for the first time, now what?

Ok first off, I'm not that red or anything....good or bad? I went in for ten minutes and used a lotion. Next, I dont have to roll over or anything when I am tanning. Should i put my arms above my head or at my sides. Lastly, how often should I go and when should I start increasing my time in there?? When I reach my goal tan color, how often do i need to go to maintain it?

I remember the 1st time I went tanning....I only went in for 12 minutes and I got a little tan.....I suggest using one of the special tanning lotions the salon has and increasing the time....and also moisturize after tanning....but only go a couple or few times a week....do't overdo it!!!

now go compare your self to a peron that is really tan and then you will see if your tanning worked!!!!!!!!!
Reply:My advice: Stop tanning. Even tanning once a year multiplies your chances of getting melanoma and skin cancer. The UV rays in tanning beds are more powerful and do more damage. Just use a good spray on tan. It's the healthier alternative.
Reply:It takes 48 hours for your results to show your first couple of times tanning. I used to go every day and increase by 2 mins each time till I got to the max. Then I went at least 3 times a week to maintain and get a bit deeper. I know some people who go once a week to maintain. It all depends on you. The best thing would be ask the person at the salon or to test it out and fine out on your own. It varies from person to person.
Reply:You have just increased your risk for developing skin cancer





ENJOY UR LIFE WHILE IT LASTS





and im not even kidding. 1 in 4 people will develop skin cancer in their lives and if u use tanning beds that increases ur risk by 60%
Reply:Honestly, is getting tan worth getting skin cancer? Think hard about the consequences before exposing yourself to such toxic rays! It may make you beautiful today, but you will be kicking yourself in 20 years.
Reply:no if ur not red that dosnt mean anything not everbody gets sunburns off of going in for ten minutes..u should put them by ur arms and also everyone in a while lift them up so ur armpits get tanned also..when ur starting to tan u should go often until u reach the color u want then u go 2-3 times a week to maintain it so u dont lose ur color next time u go try 15 minutes and if u get a sunburn wait till its not sore to go back in..
