I might have to try that and the Denim and Diamonds...do you buy them local or off of a website? If a site, can you post the link or PM me! Thanks!

I don't think that the gym I go to is ready for me to sing in the tanning bed! I actually got the stuff w/ a package I bought a while back...but someone else posted the link for you. It's really good...no tingle, but has a build in bronzer.

I agree with the other, wear the goggles, the line is not that noticeable, and when you get outside in the sun it will tan and you won't be able to tell.
I always feel better after tanning

Thanks for the site! Looks like I will be ordering from them as my bottles are getting low!

I used to love to tan..until I had to have 2 spots of skin cancer removed from my chest last year. I'm 47 and now regret all the hours of laying in the sun, but I still miss the glow and how it makes you feel. It's pretty hard to stay out of the sun in Az. Sucks getting old!

I'm Irish so no tanning for me! I've always been fair skinned and I like it that way. Even without tanning I have had a spot removed off my shoulder. I'm the girl with the big, dark sunglasses and the large brim hat. I am happy with my skin and the fact that I have no wrinkles though I don't judge anyone who chooses to tan.

I tan in the beds too! I'm fair skinned so I tan that way I don't burn in the sun. Starting out I tan 6 days a week. I work myself up to 20 mins. Once I reach 20 mins, I then go to 2 to 3 days a week to maintain it. I use Brown Envy (has a slight bronzer in it). Then move on to Emerald Bay's Mojo with a tingle factor of 7.

This year I stopped for a week and lost just about all of my tan so I'm having to restart again. Now I am using Brown Envy Dark (it has more of a bronzer than the original). Tanning is me time and I get to relax! I might even get to squeeze in a nap at that time too!

I definitely have fallen asleep in my tanning bed and then it scares the poo outta me when that thing shuts off...or when hubby comes in there and grabs me when I am about dozed off! Gotta start locking that door! Oscar followed me in there the other day and I said "NO...lights will hurt your eyes!" I could just feel a cold nose right in the middle of my session!

im a tanner also! i work a very stressful job (i work on an acute psych ward-its a locked unit) and when i get off work it helps untangle my nerves lol.. i know i shouldnt do it, but i do. im at 30 mins now, so ill be going once a week- or just slightly more.. maybe 5-6 times a month.. i dont like to get really dark (that aged cow hide orange lol).

Oooh...sorry about the spot you had to have removed! I am going to be responsible and go for a full body check here really soon...I don't have health insurance so I have been putting it off but I know I need to go. All of us sun worshippers need to do this from time to time just to be sure! And thanks for not judging us...I really can't explain how the sun makes me feel...I just adore the summertime!

Sorry about those spots and having to stay out of the sun...especially in Arizona! I can't imagine...the sun is SO intense out there! I used this stuff on my face you might want to try...I think you can get it in beauty supply stores...I had my beautician get it for me. It is called Fake Bake and is a stain that is streak free and leaves a really pretty color! Not hard to apply either! If you like the color of a tan it might be just the ticket! Can't help you on the feel tho...sun has its own special feel for sure...warms you all the way thru!

I love tanning!! for outdoors, i use mauibabe (mauibabe.com) which is AMAZING! for indoors I rotate, but my fave right now is Lime N' Da Coconut, when you use it you dont stink after! lol, but for color I would say Perfectly Dark gives me the best color.

Crystal Faces is my fave for face lotion.

I went to that site...that stuff looks interesting...I love to drink coffee...putting it on my skin...hmmmm

Does anyone use a lotion for their face? The one that I'm using now says it's not recommended for the facial area. My face is fairly sensitive but I feel like I need to be putting something on it. Any suggestions?

I tan, i do it almost every summer, i tan in a stand up for about 7-9 minutes since it's stronger. I get a base tan and then tan with the real sun and just get darker and darker. I use the lotion they give me, it comes with the deal and it smells sooo good! i love it and i also bought a lotion to put on after that has hemp in it from Beach bum tanning cause i love the smell but that's not where i tan at. I need a tan now cause im sooo white but lately ive been working a lot so haven't had time but im going to start real soon! I'm excited! I use the stickers for my eyes so i dont get the goggle lines
