Thanks, Chris, for posting this to the board. I didn't think I could post here unless I was a salon owner, or worked at one. One look at me, and you'll know I'm not either!!! haha.

MJ - thanks for the reply. To answer your question, I have never tried a stand-up unit, but I believe I'd prefer a bed (I like the nap - although for me it is a quick one, since I can't stay in long!). Also, I have a flexible schedule & time to work on my tan, and am not in a terrible hurry - although I'd like to see a noticeable change
within 2 or 3 weeks. I would like to leave my house & feel good, ya know?

The lotion I used didn't cause the itching, but they sold it to me to help relieve it (caused by the tanning). I wasn't using any other moisturizing lotions or tanning lotions (bad, I know). I have naturally dry to medium-moisture skin. The lotion was called "Body Drench" and it did very little to help the itching. It was unbearable. I thought I had caught a skin disease from the bed, but after a good 36 hours, the itching would go away.

Chipp, I had heard that if you just keep going, it goes away, so I tried to hang in there. But every time I went, it just seemed to get worse - the itching more severe & would last longer. Putting on moisturizer would help for about 20 minutes. I couldn't reapply that often - I've got other things to do! I really wanted a tan, but I just couldn't stand it.

Anyway - if you or anyone else has more tips on how to tan without suffering so much, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!!![ This Message was edited by: kgirl on 2002-04-23 12:03 ]
