Which is better tanning in a tanning bed OR outside in the sun..???
tanning bed bcuz in a tanning bed u can control how long and how much uv rays u are exposed to. but sunlest tanning lotion is best. however i do the tanning bed. it works for me. better then the sun with results. just take it slow and use a mosterizoer or body wash like dove's energy glow moisturizing body wash to help keep your tan so you don't have to go to the tanning bed as often.

Neither , use spray tan. Outsde in the sun is REALLY bad for you cause you could get skin cancer.
Reply:well personally i get much tanner way faster in the sun..depends which you prefer and how fast you tan in both..
Reply:The actual sun is better for you than the harsh uv rays of the tanning bed.
Reply:probably the sun because you get vitamins from it.. but remember dont tan for too long!!
Reply:Well, a sun tan is more natural... But there's a risk of skin caner. NEVER USE A TANNING BED! You can get melanoma. Very bad. I would have to go with spray-on.
Reply:Neither. Both of these things will cause premature aging, and you'll begin to be sorry at probably 30 years old. I don't think spray tanner is a good idea either. It's loaded with synthetic chemicals that aren't good for your skin.
Reply:the sun does not cause skin cancer!!!!! Sun lotion does. think about it! that is in the book natrual cures they don't want you to know about!





just use the sun. a tanning bed seems unnatrual.
Reply:the sun, if you have to choose. But the thing is that you can still do just as much damage out in the sun b/c it's likely you're going to spend more time in it to get the same results from a bed. Do you think skin cancer is worth it?? You do realize skin cancer can kill, right?
Reply:well tanning outside is supposed to be the one thats better for you but tanning beds get you a tan faster and it gets darker too...so really its up to you
Reply:If by better, you mean less harmful to your skin, then tanning by the sun is best, because the synthetic rays from a tanning booth are much more harmful, and the strength of radiation has been proven to be a factor in some cases of skin cancer. The sun gives your skin the opprotunity for your skin to soak up D vitamins. One statistic shows that thirty minutes in a tanning bed can equal up to eight hours of the suns harmful rays. Be careful! You don't want to get sun burnt! If you have somewhat fair skin, reconsider tanning, cancer from over exposure from the sun or tanning booths is not worth it.
Reply:The sun is better for you, in limited exposure of course! Tanning beds are just intense concentrations of UVB light that can be very harmful to your skin. The increased amounts can destroy elastins in your skin and make your skin look older than you are!





Not to mention, the sun also provides a vitamin our bodies need- vitamin D. So if you are going to tan, I would choose the sun! Just remember, either way, always in moderation!
Reply:It seems as though the natural approach would work better. Sun works to produce vitamin D for bones and is another source of vitamin, for what, I cannot think of.


The sun is also an anti-depressant.


I don't think tanning is bad in general, you know, otherwise we shouldn't go outside at all in the summer or go swimming or what have you.
Reply:I copied this from a website: if you are rarely exposed to the sun, you have a greater chance of acquiring some forms of cancer. Some have even found that people who do not receive regular sun exposure are more likely than others to develop malignant melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer).


i agree with that, so i dont think a light summer glow is bad.


But to answer your question I dont know which is worse what i do know is that my moms friends who do the whole tanning bed thing are a lot more wrinkly and shriveled up than my mom and my mans mom who only have a little tiny bit of sun damage and have both had lovely natural suntans all their lives. So I think the sun is better.


Yay! cause you be getting nice fesh air and swimming and getting a tan all at once
Reply:If you use the tanning beds or the sun, sure you'll get a good tan, but then you will start devoloping moles and it doesn't look good!! Spay on tans are good, and I've been hearing that lotion...dont know whats it called...but it make you glow and you look tan! My mom LOVES it
Reply:Depends: do you want skin cancer from a natural source or a man-made one?





Why are you insisting on tanning, even though you know it is a bad thing?
Reply:if you must tan, the sun, because tanning bads triple the amount ov UV/B rays..
Reply:I get my tan from spray tans or tanning short time indoors. Indoors your time and rays are controlled. The booth I go in has less then 1% UVB. I probley tan indoor two or three times a month to keep nice color. When I am outside not knowing my exposure I wear a high sunblock.
