first of all, they probably won`t allow u to tan, because regular tanning lotions %26amp; sunblocks contain ingredients (mineral oil, among other things) that damage the acrylic of the beds...most salons check to verify that u have the appropriate lotion before u enter the cubicle for tanning...talk to the staff %26amp; see what products formulated for indoor tanning would be best for u...

no no no sunblock!! it's so bad for the bed and your skin. if you decide you love being tan you MUST invest in the tanning lotion for the beds otherwise your just damaging the bed and your skin..
Reply:Tanning itself, meaning the changing of the skin color, is a symptom of damage.





You cannot get a tan and not have a type of damage. That's what a tan IS. It's a symptom of UV light overdose.








There's a multitude of resources you can find on the Internet to back this up.


These are just simple facts.

"The short-term results of unprotected exposure to UV rays are sunburn and tanning. Long-term exposure causes prematurely aged skin, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dark patches (lentigos, that are sometimes called "age spots" or "liver spots"), actinic keratoses. and actual skin cancers. Actinic keratoses are small (usually less than 1/4 inch) rough or scaly spots. Usually they develop on the face, ears, back of the hands, and arms of middle-aged or older people with fair skin, although they can arise on other sun-exposed areas of the skin. Although actinic keratoses are slow-growing and usually do not cause any symptoms, they sometimes turn into squamous cell cancer."

"Tanning - A tan is often mistaken as a sign of good health. Dermatologists know better. A suntan is actually the result of skin injury. Tanning occurs when UV rays enter the skin and it protects itself by producing more pigment or melanin.





Indoor tanning is just as bad for your skin as sunlight. Most tanning salons use ultraviolet-A bulbs. Studies have shown that UVA rays go deeper into the skin and contribute to premature wrinkling and skin cancer."
