Please do not respond if you want to tell me the dangers of tanning. Thank you for your concern, but I am an intelligent, capable adult. I have a few questions. I have just started indoor tanning and am finding that I am not tanning evenly. I looked on this forum and have found info on changing body positions in the tanning bed to get a more even tan. How do you do lie on your side? With the bed slightly opened? How do your goggles stay on?? I have been using them carefully w/o the strings to avoid a white line. Also I have been using an inexpensive indoor tanning lotion. Is there really a difference? I have only gone twice, 8 minutes the first time and 12 minutes the second time. The second time I got a little red, but used aloe vera gel and the red went away. Is it safe to go 15 now, seeing as I will need to switch positions a few times? How do you keep track of how long you are in each position? Also, how do roll over? Just open and turn the best you can with the goggles on? Thanks!

For some ppl the legs are the last to tan, especially guys. When I tan I will lie half of the time with my knees up and arms above my head to help to eliminate the smiley face on my bum, and to tan more of my underarm. The next time I tan I may lay on one side half of the time and the other the other half. You can open the bed to move to whatever position you want then close it as much as possible. Your are suggested to wear eyewear but I will admit I don’t just keep the peepers closed. Depending on your skin type and if you had an existing tan tells a lot when your deciding whether to go longer. If you only got a little red the last time at 12 minutes I don’t see anything wrong with going 15. bring a watch with you to keep track of time. Lotion is great if it is the right kind for the tanner, 1st time tanners should’nt use any of the HOT lotions like the more experienced tanner. Just a suggestion 1st timers I always recomend Aust. Gold Accelerator with no bronzer and its cheap.
