Buy Tanning Bed

I’ve never been to a tanning salon. But I’m thinking about going to one. I know its popular amoung us teenage girls,and all the health risks. But I’m wondering what its like inside,is it scary at first,and how long do you have to stay in for to get a nice tan? Would you suggest spray tanning,or a tanning booth? Thanks ?

* Note * Please don’t give me the details about how tanning poses a risk to your health,my father is a dr and I dont need to hear the same things. Thanks?

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!

I have a few questions. I just recently went to hawaii and got a pretty good tan, but its fading fast. So I have some questions to help me get a tan back here in ohio.

1. There are two types of tanning lotions right? Theres the kind that give you a tan without being in the sun and the kind that help get a better tan while in the sun. Am I correct?

2. Whats a good tanning lotion to use while in the sun? I don’t want one that turns you orange. Is Hawaiian tropics any good? If so what kind?

Anyother tips about using lotion? Does it really speed up tanning? Once again I don’t want the tanning lotion that you rub on and its a fake tan that goes away. I want the lotion that helps you get a better tan outside.

I just bought a 1998 tanning bed. It comes with a ballast box seperate from the bed itself. What does this box do? Will it make my light bill higher vs one without a seperate ballast box?
