Yes, and you probably should.
Yes, and I think they actually provide it there, but usually for a charge.
yes. its not a bad idea to bring your own because it can be expensive there
You say you dont want your face to get old and leathery-looking, but that’s exactly what tanning does to it. Yes, you can wear sunscreen, but that defeats the purpose of trying to get a tan on your face. Try to keep the tanning to a minimum (Puh-LEEZ don’t end up looking like Magda on There’s Something About Mary)and cover your face with a damp washcloth or do-rag for a portion of the tanning process (if you’re in there for 10 minutes, cover up for 5–if in a bed). If you’re really worried about wrinkles, slather your face with sunscreen and opt for a facial bronzer instead.
You have to use the tanning lotions made for tanning beds. You can get them in a store or at the tanning salon you go to.
As long as you only put the sunscreen on your face you most certainly can use any sunscreen in the tanning bed.
The reason why you cannot put the sunscreen on your body is because there in mineral oil in almost all tanning lotion. Mineral oil causes the tanning bed acrylics to crack much faster.
