Any advice on safe tanning?

I have been tanning for two years. I usually go once or twice a week. Should I go less? Should I use a really high SPF when I go out in the sun? What are all the years of tanning going to do to me? I know it is bad for me. But, if I can do it safely I think I will be fine.

Honestly, there is no "safe" tanning. Even if you don't tan on a regular basis and you use a high SPF there are still strong chances you can get cancer. I know that isn't the answer you wanted to hear. I liked to tan too, until my mother developed skin cancer and I had a long talk with her doctor. Don't tan and be sure and wear an SPF 15 in the sun. I wish I had a better answer for you, but you don't want the ugly moles and scars you'll in your later years, TRUST me. Sorry to be such a downer.

tanning bed does not give you much protection from the sun There is no safe way to tan except to get the professional spray on tan
Reply:Honestly hun,


any form of tanning obviously isn't good on our skin.


It can get really bad for some of us,


if you have sensitive skin, burn easily, or even skin cancer.


But I suggest if you're going to do it regardless,


do it about 2 times a week no more than that.


And use sun screen to prevent burning.


Tanning bed or in the sun.


Hope that helps ya! [:
Reply:Don't go tanning. Simply as that.
Reply:There is no such thing as "safe-tanning" as far as a tanning bed is concerned. You can be smart about it though. Only progress little by little to prevent getting a sunburn. Keep track of your moles and make sure if any change shape or grow larger to stop immediately and see your doctor. Also wait 24 hours at least between tanning sessions. Since you're going only once or twice a week I would say you're not doing too much damage, not as much as someone who tans daily is. Also keep putting on the highest SPF you can find when you go outside. Technically you're not being "safe", but you are tanning safer than others do.
Reply:i know tanning isn't healthy for ya.. but i also go tanning once or twice a week, it help with my acne and just gives me a more healthy appearance and i feel better about myself and don't have to wear alot of makeup... we all do things we shouldn't for different reasons.... i also eat red meat and don't drink enough water....and have a few beers every now and again, i'm not going to make myself sick over all the things that can kill me... i'm going to live my life, and enjoy it, and if i have to pay a price later on... well then so be it... it is my destiny and i'll have to live with it. i could walk down the street in a few minutes and get hit by a bus... so who's to say.....
