What tanning lotion are you using? |
If you burned the new skin it is a good old fashioned sunburn. Take it from one who has spent their entire life in the burn-blister-peel cycle. The itching is horrible because as soon as you scratch one spot, it travels to another, then everything itches and you can't relieve it. Noxema, aloe lotion, iced tea all help. You may have stayed in too long. You may start developing little blisters which will pop and you'll start peeling. Be careful you didn't get sun poisoning. Now, there's some wicked itching, if you did. Good luck. Let the burn turn to tan before you back into the bed and if you peel, make sure you let the new skin grow back before you retan. I don't know much about Yorkies, but I am a professional burner expert.:D |
One more thing, if you used the standing kind, there's a good chance they let you stay in too long. Those are far more powerful that the lay down beds with bulbs. |
none so i know it isnt that ... i have tanned this way everytime i tan ( i had a reaction to a tanning lotion so never used them again!) and now all of a sudden i am itching i just dont know why and my legs and arms dont itch ! its just where iwas whiter! lol |
hhhmmmmmmmm well just like RoxyJosMom says...maybe you stayed there too long. I know I was itching real bad once but it was because of the tanning lotion. |
Sometimes what you eat or even medications you take can cause a reaction. Like any itchy rash but without the rash. See if you can get ahold of a list of things that react with tanning beds.....you would be surprised what you should not eat or use while tanning |
that happens to most people when they first start going to the tanning bed. Once you get in cycle of going, it will go away. |
Put your finger on a spot where it itches. Push in then take it away. If you see a whiter imprint of your finger, sweetie, you got a burn. You may be taking awhile for the redness to show. Or maybe your base skin coloring has enough color that the red won't show as well. I am a redhead with freckles and pale skin. So it's pretty obvious on me. I get burnt when the sun reflects off the snow. If I get sun poisoning, i get it everywhere but where the freckles are - they just keep tanning. I spent my youth burning myself trying to run the freckles together so I would finally have a tan - doesn't work that way.:D |
thanks for all of the responses!!! i really appreciate it ... now does anyone know what can help like what i can put on it or anything like that ! lol ! that would be very very helpful! lol ... oh yeh ...i am pretty dark complected except for wear my bikini passed this summer and i usually dont burn easy! |
Noxema, iced tea, aloe lotion all work. I don't know about Lanacain or Gold Bond. They might. |
iced tea ... explain plz? |
If you are dark complected, then, like GraciesMom said, alot of medications will react to sun light. If you are taking a prescription, look for a sticker with a sun on it. Anything else, check the labels. |
LOL - drinking it won't help unless it's Long Island Iced Tea.:D Actually, if you make up a batch with teabags, then just pour it over the burn (if you are burned). It helps with the pain and the itching. It's a very old remedy. I prefer to let it be luke warm or a little cooler. If you are burned, everything will feel alot colder on your skin. Noxema works great but it is like ice when you put it on. Again, this is if you have a burn. |
ha i had never heard of that! Thanks you guys you have been very helpful! |
