| Hey all. I just started tanning about 2 weeks ago, and I've gone 6 times (all of them have been in the Ruva bed). 4 of the times were just fine and I have tanned nicely. However, there have been 2 times (at the same tanning salon and in the same bed) where I have had problems with tanning. The first time this happened, I was going to tan for 10 minutes but got out after about 8 because I felt very hot on my back area. I looked in the mirror and I was extremely red wherever my body was touching the bed - from my shoulder area down to my thigh area. I figured they must have not wiped the sanitizer off enough and it had somehow irritated my skin. The next day, the redness was mostly gone. Just today I went tanning again, and after about 1-2 minutes of being in the bed, I felt an extremely odd sensation on the front part of my legs and my stomach/chest area - it felt as though I was being poked with pins all over. I got out (and the sensation continued) - I looked in the mirror and I was already red where my skin was touching the bed. This was only after 1-2 minutes of lying in the bed - and the redness is gone already, so I'm thinking it must have something to do with the sanitizer. (That doesn't explain the prickly feeling I got all over my legs, stomach, and chest, though.)
Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know what could be going on? I don't know if I should stop tanning for a while - I haven't had problems most of the time, but I don't know if it will just get worse. If you have any ideas, let me know. Thanks! (And thanks for reading all of this if you got through it all!)
