Face protection - tanTALK

Kel423 · 08-27-2005, 03:06 AM

Hi! I am new to this forum so I am sorry if this has been talked about before, but what is the best way to cover your face while in a tanning bed? I plan on using sunless tanning lotion on my face and I want to try and protect it while I tan the rest of my body. Is there a better way to do it besides just using a towel?

Thanks for your help

No. Happy tanning.

You could always do what I do and use an spf. Just be careful not to get it anywhere else on your body!:-)

What is wrong with just using a towel?

No it is not wrong to use a towel - except for the fact that i have to wash and dry it. They do make face protectors for the bed. Ask your salon professional. Most of us are up on new products. I carry them and i also carry air protectors beacause the UV light will harm colored hair. A towel will also not block out all of the UV rays.

A towel & other fabrics only provide an SPF protection of 5 to 6 %, so thats why it won't work.
