Hello,
I just read one of your posts at Tan Talk (just registered today). I am not a store owner, or even a tanner - though I want to start tanning & look hot for the summer.
I've tried tanning before & got a *tiny* bit of tan, but mostly just itched like crazy & had to quit. I was tanning in a 20-minute bed, no lotions, about 7-8 mins each time. Tanned about 4 or 5 times & gave up (the itch). I've read on the site that a salon should give a skin type survey - mine did not. I am completely clueless - all the lotions/sprays/terminology/tan times, etc are confusing. They sold me a lotion for the itch & it did *nothing* to help me. I never returned.
Just wondering if you'd be willing to help me determine what I should be doing to get a nice tan for the summer. Too embarrassed to leave my house - I am *white* and from Texas, where it seems everyone is tan!
When I took the skin survey, I was a type 2C (borderline 3A, I think). I burn first, then tan. I think I could get fairly dark, if I pursue the right plan of lotions, tanning schedule, & bed type.
I would REALLY appreciate your help!!!!!
Thanks,
Kim in TX
