What do you think about tanning?

it's the most amazing feeling in the world. thanks for responding.

yea i seen you had dark skin in your picture. you're one of the lucky ones. i'd love to have natural dark skin. i love the warmth of the bed/sun it's just so relaxing. thanks for responding.

well i being a guy having a dusky complexion doesn't really require tanning!! but still i have some of my friends who love tanning to the core.. they love to lie down on the beach under the sun and feel the warmth!!

yeah i always have weird things happen to me but i have headache problems anyway differnt things bother me

i've never heard of anyone getting a headache from a tanning bed but i guess anything can happen to anyone. i tan every day no matter what. i dont like laying in the sun because i cant get an all over tan. thanks for responding.

yea the UV rays can be harmful. however using the right tanning bed they reduce the affects. like use a bed with less of the harmful UV rays. i forgot which one is which. there are UVB and UVA and i think the UVB is the one that is the most harmful and also using a good lotion with antioxidants and vitamins in them then it is much better than using the wrong lotions and the wrong beds. thanks for responding.

i haven't been sun bathing for a while because it isn't an all over tan and i burn outside. i can't wait til summer either cause it'll finally be warm. lol. thanks for responding.

you're one of the lucky ones. i would love to have natural brown skin. but since i dont i'll tan and use a spray tan. thanks for responding.

it's tanning. it's where you lay in a bed that has a top that closes they have lights in them and these lights have sun rays that make your skin darker. we call this tanning. you can also do this outside in the sun. hope this helps you.

yeah a lot of people i know are scared too because they feel like they're in a coffin and stuff. at first i was worried about getting locked in and someone walking in on you but now i know better. the place i go is smaller and it's so much better. they help you pick lotion and tell you what's good for your body and they are really nice. i feel like i'm visitng friends when i go there. thanks for responding.

lighter skin people do tend to burn easier. i used to but then i started tanning gradually like about 10 minutes the first time and then 12 minutes and now i'm at 15 minutes i've been going for about a week now. so next time i'll step it up to 18 minutes. i also have a few moles they're not big or anything and nothing has come of it yet and i've been tanning for about 2 years now. thanks for your response.

getting sprayed is also nice. it's kind of cold but it gets you dark color fast. i love being in a warm bed because on the beach you cant get an all over tan unless you know a secret spot. thanks for responding.

wow. that's pretty cool. i dont know if USA has many of these beaches if they do i dont know where they're at. i dont live near a beach either. i live in the middle of the country. too bad i dont live near the beach i would be there everyday. i love water. i'm a pisces. thanks for sharing again.

at first i was scared i would be claustrophobic too and then i got in and loved it. thanks for responding.

that can happen to you. but i know a woman about 40 years old and she has been tanning for about 25 years and she is beautiful not wrinkled. her secret is a natural bronzing tanning lotion with lots of antioxidants and vitamins in it and i used it yesterday and i felt so nice afterwards. if you dont use the right things tanning can be gross.

wow. it would be great to do a research study on tanning beds. i know they're not healthy for you however if you use the best lotion out there it helps protect your skin. i know a woman and she is about 40 years old and she has been tanning for 25 years and she looks great. she uses some really good lotion and it has loads of vitamins and things that you need for your body. such as they recommend you go in the sun unprotected for 15 minutes so you can get your vitamin d. over 50% of your vitamin d comes from the sun itself. so it doesnt always make you look old or leathery if you use a really good lotion then you will look great. most of the people at the beach dont do that because they use the cheap stuff from walmart. not the stuff from the salon and they dont tan inside much.

i envy you. you're naturally tan. thanks for responding

i'm pretty pale myself. makes me feel good about myself too. you have a point about driving every morining. it's dangerous too. i love spray tan as well. i got it done and it doesnt look fake at all. it's not orange like some people said. i think it is worth the money. it gives you a quick tan.. thanks for responding

spray tan is much healthier and it looks great too. i've gotten a spray tan and i loved it. it made me so dark. it is much safer. thanks for responding.

isn't it amazing how darker skin people want lighter skin and light skin people want darker skin. it's like straight hair girls want curly hair and curly hair girls want straight hair. thanks for responding.

if you use the right lotion then it's not as bad as some may think. i love it so much and as you said it makes your clothes look better. i am much happier tan than i am white. thanks for responding.

sorry to hear about you auntie. there are safe ways to tan now. they have a laser spray tan that you can get. it's an all over spray. it looks just as great as a tan from the beds. you don't have to worry about the sun rays or skin cancer. too bad they didnt have these when your auntie was tanning. thanks for responding.

it's great to even talk about it because you can feel the warmth. it's so cold here today that i dont think i'm going anywhere. i let mine warm up a little before i get in. it's way too cold to just jump in. thanks for responding.
