Are you a tanner? Tis the season to tan! I have been sitting outside on sunny days for about 20 minutes and have gotten a pretty good base tan...but now it is getting hot! I have a tanning bed that is much easier in hotter weather. Who tans in tanning beds? What kind/brand of tanning lotion do you use and why do you like it? How many times a week do you tan? Do you use the eye goggle thingies (I am bad and have not been using them but am now!)? I would love to hear your thoughts on this...always looking for the new and improved lotion myself. Right now I am using several; Swedish Beauty Swedish Intensifier, California Tan Climax, California Tan Hempology and Australian Gold Thrust. I moisturize with Olay Quench after my bath at night. This thread is not intended to become a debate about whether or not you should tan or not...not about the risks involved, we all know what they are. I enjoy tanning and getting a little color not to mention the Vitamin D you get from sun or tanning beds. I realize it is not for everybody but for those who enjoy it, let me hear from ya! |
I love to tan outside I tryed the stand up tanning thing & didnt like it I get a better tan outside & the boy's get to run around lol. Personally i don't think there is a better tanner than Hawaiian Tropic I have used the indoor tanning one outside & got double the color than the outside one I don't know why but it worked Really well. Right now i'm using this one. Hawaiian Tropic® The Dark Tanning Oil Not the dry one. |
I tan when I can. Hate the standup beds though..I like to nap while I'm relaxing and that's hard to do standing up! I like the Swedish Beauty line. The Amaretto Tingle and Denim and Diamonds are my favorites....not greasy and they smell good...well, at least they don't stink. I don't use tingle much though because I rarely go strait home and take a shower. I liked the results from Australian Gold, but I think I'm allergic to it....it always makes me itch. |
I always use my tanning bed stuff outside and get a really good tan...just something about the tanning bed products that make my skin feel really moisturized...I hate that dried out skin feeling and at my age sometimes dry skin is the norm...but mine feels soft and moisturized...never dry. I also suffer with Neuro Dermatitis that is seasonal and I swear the tanning bed helps clear it up! |
I've been tanning more and more during the winter and now that i'm working all day everyday I miss the sunshine. I usually tan in the beds (medium pressure with a facial tanner) about 1-3 times a week, depending if I have time. Sometimes I dont' go for weeks and realize it and go back for a couple weeks. I don't hold a tan well. I used Swedish Beauty Hemp.. my sister bought it for me. Now I'm using a different brand with a bronzer and cooler. I think it has a koala on the bottle with a purple top. They usually stay at the tanning salon so I'm not sure. I just buy them at home cause at school it's 2 to 3 times more for them! I always wear my goggles cause i'm scared of hurting my eyes, I'm the only one in my family without glasses or contacts. |

I sing in my tanning bed! :D Turn the radio up and sing away! The acoustics are great! :rolleyes: The Amaretto Tingle...is it really tingly...I don't like that stuff that gets really hot! 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 have become very farsighted in the last few years...don't know if it had anything to do with the tanning or not...probably not...I am just old! :D |
Tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed is one of the worst things you can do for your skin and health. Use sunscreen each day, avoid the sun and be happy with nice skin instead of having blothchy skin, freckles, moles and cancer. |
Normally Jakub and I tan every winter.. this year neither of us had time.. so whenever it is warm here we sit outside creating a base tan for the upcoming summer months.. I keep nagging him to get a tanning bed.. but he says the electricity will be way too much.. so for now we have to hold off:rolleyes: When we do go tanning, though.. We go every other day for the first month.. then we go once or twice a week.. depending on how tan we are (he's normally 5x tanner than I am:rolleyes: Lucky genes:p) But PLEASE PLEASE wear youe goggles.. it's sooo important... If you're worried about the line... then just two minutes into the end of your session.. take them off... no quicker! Here are my top three favorites of all time in order: Australian Gold: Crystal (X Ten) HERE Supre: Smoke (02 tan maximizer) Black Bronzer Here Swedish Beauty: Denim and Diamonds Here |

Thank you! I really don't notice any huge difference in our electric bill and you know who has been in your bed! :D Thanks for the links! I will be checking those out! |
i used to work at a tanning salon, i loooove tanning, no matter how bad it is for your skin....i dont wanna hear it.... anyway i love Fiji brand Nano and i dont remember the brand, but i really like urban princess and hempz black label lotions they all work really well if you like a lotion with lots of bronzer in it that dont streak or stain you....im really fair skinned so i dont usually get up to the whole 20 minutes, but i love to tan it just relaxes you and it is so addicting! Usually i dont wear my goggles i just keep my eyes closed or put a towel over my face, i dont like my face to fry i am soo excited bc my bfs mom is getting a tanning bed this week which means free tanning! haha |
I tan every other day a tanning salon. I had just planned on getting a one month package but it was a much better deal if you did a one year membership so me and my Husband got one. I love the stand up tanners the best. I use Black dark tanning quad bronzer for lotion. I just buy it from the tanning salon but I saw where they sell different lotions over the internet so thats where I might get it next. I use googles every time I tan but I take them off for 1/2 the time I am in there so I dont get white circles. I have priced tanning beds and if we continue doing it after the yr is up I might buy one. I worry a little about having one at home, Maybe it would overheat and catch on fire. I love tanning I just dont have the patience to tan outside |
I am not a tanner but a burner;) I have very fair skin so the sun is not my friend, Also I now take medication the I have to stay out of the sun, so I have to take precaution when it comes to the sun! |
I tan in a bed twice aweek, and I am outside during the weekends (weather permitting). I like have a nice even tan, but I don't want to be orange like some girls that tan every day in a bed. I never use my indoor tanning lotion outside because it does not have sunscreen in it. I use a 30spf screen when I am outside. |
