Re: Itching but no burning?

Your absolutly tanning too fast!! The common misconception is that if you are a level 2 it won't matter how long and how fast you expose your skin!! Truth is that each time you expose your skin to UV light you are shocking your skin! Give your skin time to adjust to the UV light if your salon has the standard tanning beds as well as the high pressure opt for the standard if your just starting out move your way up to the high pressure beds after your base tan is satisfactory and even then take it slow! No matter what skin type you are your skin still has to have time to adjust. Your basically training your skin to accept something new.
Also take a water bottle with you spray it down with the water and wipe with a clean towel if your allergic to the sanitizer this will nuteralize the solution .
If you use a tanning lotion when starting out use the lowest accel. possible in fact don't use anything at all for the first 10 sessions accel. and other lotions tend to aggrivate the itch and most certainly DO NOT START WITH A TINGLE!!! A tingle lotion is for tanners who have hit their tanning platuea and need a little more.
Hope this helps
