Tanning Beds w/bands

Good Afternoon All.........This might be a silly question but I just have to ask as I look at my WHITE body!! Is it ok to use a tanning bed with the band? My concern is that I have tanned in the past and have had some internal burning (new bulbs and tanned to long!) Has anyone heard anything about this? I went today and purchased an unlimited tanning session for the next month, but I thought I should of checked in with you all before I did this. I don't see my doctor until next Thursday and of course I want to start using my minutes before then. Thanks for taking the time to read............

AMEN....LaMadem!! I couldn't agree with you more!! I have now been officially tanning for 1 month in a half and I feel so much better. I got my base tan in a standard bed and now I am in the Euro-bed. THis has no UV light and it' equivalent to 6-standard tans. I only go once a week now! As for my scares, I have a tan tummy with a touch of red! I call it my war wonds!lol.........

I had a spray tan today becuase I have a formal thing on tomorrow night. I dont know, I've never been a huge tanning bed user anyway, just every now and then, but since losing weight, my face does look a little older and I just cannot bring myself to accelerate the aging process by baking in a tanning bed. I know I'll look good now but will regret it like hell in five years time.

The first time I had a Magic Tan (in those booths, no attendant necessary) I chose Level 2 and it was a bit too orange, not to bad. But today I had Level 1 and its a gorgeous colour, not really obvious - but enough to take the winter pallor off me and its a lovely golden brown. No stink and no streaking either and I know from previously that if you look after your skin as they recommend you get a good 7 days out of a tan.

I think I'll be doing that weekly this summer, stuff it we can just eat baked Beans to pay for it. I'm a child of the 80's, brown is better to me!

I tan twice a week and have no problems with it. I look much thinner with a brown glow than my normal albino white skin. I think everything in moderation is alright IMO.
