Tanning Bed Itch?

I want my skin to be a little darker for my wedding to I signed up for a tanning bed. I haved used them before just not that often. Anytime I have used it I get this itchiness all over for the first few days. (not really an itch but it feels exactly like the tingle lotion) This time its worse. I cant stay in the bed for longer than 4 minutes becuase its driving me nuts! SOme people have told me that it just means that I burned. Im just not really red on the outside. Does anyone else get this or know what it means??


And please I only want comments from people who have tanned before and either have or havnt gotton this...not people who just dont believe in tanning beds :) Thanks!
Tanning Bed Itch?
i always tan before i go on a vacation to get a base tan and i have had this happen to me a few times before. I went every other day but then during my third or fourth time the tingling came. I did the same thing as you did and i got out after a couple of minutes becuase it tingled so bad. after that i went every third day for only like 4 minutes and then gradually went back to every other day and i could eventually go in for nine minutes with no tinging. so it will go away, just lighten up on how often you go in and for a shorter amount of time! and if you use lotion afterwards it helps get rid of t he tingling also. hope this helps !!





ps. people above me said that they think it is because of their lotion or from the bed being dirty. this cant be true becuase i dont use lotion and i always use the stand-up booths

i used to tan alot and never got this reaction, maybe u are having an allergic reaction to your lotion? you could try a different kind of lotion and see if it stops. I used to get burnt once in a while but it never was itchy or tingly....hope this helps
Reply:That used to happen to me, and I think was what the lady sprayed the bed with to clean it after each person uses it. If that isnt it try using some lotion befor you get in the tanning bed.
Reply:this happened to me both times i tried tanning, i thought it was my lotion, so i stopped using lotion. Well that didn't work.


So i stopped tanning.


BUt then i wanted to tan for prom this year so i thought i would give it another try, nothing helped, iw as up allllll night scratching and almost went to the hosp. I took showers, i took benadryl, used aloe vera, etc.


So then i started Tanning in the dome and i was fine.


I personally think that because my skin is so sensitive that when people would tan they didnt wash off the bed enough, then i came to find out, even if they wash the beds off, the tingler from other lotions are still persent.





the dome really worked for me, i got tan and i didnt itch.


They lady just let me up grade and pay like and extra 5 dollars or so to upgrade and she also extended my package bc i couldnt tan for like a week from the break out.


Good luck
