Hi All,

I went back to the solarium recently after a 10 year + break to color up for my upcoming holiday. As it is summer here in Australia, I have got some color on my arms, face & feet (go figure). I am a type II and get good color, just need some time to work on it.

The salon skin typed me and suggested I go into a 10 min bed for 8 mins. No lotion or sunscreen. The bottom tubes were 160W, not sure about the top. My stomach and the tops of my thighs sizzled....

Fast forward to a few days ago. My burn healed so I tried a different salon and went in for 5 mins only. The beds are all 160W on the bottom & 140W on the top, no weaker beds. I got burned on my back.

What is going on?
