An important question from a new tanner :) - tanTALK

lukey81 · 08-09-2005, 12:03 AM

Here's the deal...I went tanning for the first time ever today to get a base tan for my trip to Hawaii. First of all, I only went for 7 minutes in a stand up bed and it was sort of scary...I am burnt now...red, but doesn't really hurt, I know burning is bad for me. The salon told me to come back on Wednesday again to do another session. When should I go back? After the burn is healed? Should I mention it to the people when I go back? A response would be greatly appreciated

Go back when your not red and let them know that you burned and you need to go for less time.

Also make sure you use a good lotion and moisturize moisturize moisturize.

7 minutes for your first time? What is the max. time on that unit? 2 to 4 minutes for newbies in my 11 minute vertical, only.

I go back to complain, then find a competent place.
