Girls who go tanning, questionnnn...?

P.S. Those of you who want to preach about not going to a tanning salon, don't waste your time. Thanks.


P.P.S. Don't recommend self tanners, I've used them and they are a hassle.





ANYWAYS:


I am very fair and want to go tanning to develop some color. I don't want to be orange a la Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton. I just want to be a little bit darker and have glowy skin. I hate how pale I look in the summer when I go swimming, especially my legs. Icky.


I don't tan easily...





so MY QUESTION IS how often would I need to go tanning to keep my light tan and how long would it take to develop it in the first place?!?











THANK YOU!

you need to start out slow since you have fair skin. You should probably go every other day for a couple weeks to get a base tan and then every 2 or 3 days after that to keep it. The only reason why those people turn orange is bc they go everyday of the year and use those dark tanning lotions...





As long as you don't do that, you should have a nice color to ya...

I go twice every week. after going 3 times I saw results.
Reply:WELL....


When I went to PEI I tanned every day for 3 days for about 20 minutes. by the end of the third day, I was a light light light brown, so I tried one more day and this time I added 10 more minutes, so I tanned for 30 minutes. This left me with a light and gorgeous brown. It works for me every time!
Reply:i would say 2 or 3x a week...%26amp; about 3-4 weeks to develop a good color...
Reply:ok well start out slow do 3 times a week.and dont stay in for to long because it can be to harsh. i started out at 10 minutes and then add some time. then u will get a great tan that will last a while and look good

This isn't actually my account but I noticed your question while my sister was on here. I work in a tanning salon, and I know quite a bit about it. I understand that you don't want to try self tanners, as many of them do make you go orange. There is a self tanner bed called "california tan's UV free tan". It's really good and goes by level of height rather than choosing what colour you want to be. It goes on by level of height so that it sprays the correct amount of solution onto your skin, making you 2-3 shades darker, rather than getting too much on your skin and turning orange.





If you would still rather not go the "spray tan" route, you should check out different tanning salons in your area. Some tanning salons offer "bronzing" tanning beds. They have a higher concentration of UV-B rays, making you more brown, instead of a higher amount of UV-A which tends to make you get a reddish colour to your skin. The bronzing beds are usually a little more pricey than regular beds, but the outcome is much better and you won't have to tan as much, costing you less in the long run.





To develop a base it usually takes between 5-10 sessions, and to keep that up you should go about every 1-2 weeks. Just so you're aware, you shouldn't tan every day and should tan every other day instead to avoid over-exposure occuring in your skin. Another thing that will speed up the process of your tan is to get a good lotion. California Tan makes the best lotions as they boost your tan, and have active skincare ingredients in them as well. Try an indoor tanning lotion that has a bronzer in it for immediate results. I suggest California Tan's "Karma Sutra" line, or the "Dark Sexy Tan" line. They're both really good lotions and should get you to your tanning destination very shortly.





I hope it works out well for you sweety. :)
