The simple answer is that you've burned your face. You'll know your face is burned if it gets red and hot 3-6 hours after the session. Many beds have facial lamps that you can turn off during the session (don't know about yours). So, halfway through the session, turn the facial lamps off, if you can. This will prevent facial over exposure. If you can't turn the lamps off, go get a towel and put it over your face halfway through to reduce exposure.





Also, use a lotion both before and after tanning. This should help prevent peeling.

Do you know about skin cancer? What you are doing is dangerous and will lead to wrinkles and age spots. Never ever expose your skin this way. You will be very sorry one day.





If you want a tan, use one of the fake tanning sprays or lotions. It won't ruin your skin and your health.

Reply:Your skin is loosing moisture. This drying of the skin can cause premature wrinkles. Try a moisturizer, or tanning lotion. Also to stop the burning, try cooling your skin with some cool water.
Reply:because your face is receiving an intense about of UV's in a short period of time and you are drying (and frying) your skin. Try putting on a really good tanning lotion before going in and then a good cream afterwards.
Reply:maybe you should wear some sunscreen on your face when you are in there..be careful...you are cooking yourself slowly and its not the best thing for your skin if you didn't know.


As far as why it peels...its the same thing as peeling after being on the beach all day. do you need more of a scientific answer?
Reply:Peeling skin is damaged,dead skin. You are basically cooking your skin. Tanned skin is cooked, dehydrated skin. Think leather.





There is no way around it. If you want the tanned look use spray-on or self tanners. Or follow the lead of someone like Nicole Kidman. She luxuriates in her fair, beautiful, soft, undamaged skin.





The way to prevent it is the same way to avoid the damage. Don't use a tanning bed. Or the sun.
