Outside tanning Vs. Bed

SirTansAlot · 04-09-2001, 03:37 PM

I was just wondering if I should use a tanning lotion or baby oil when I tan outside this summer. I never use baby oil at salons because I hear the oil can damage the acrylics. Thanks!SirTans

First off, I love your name! SirTansAlot! Love it!Secondly, please don't use baby oil in tanning beds. It not only does alot of damage to the acrylics (causing the salon to replace costly acrylics, thereby possibly raising prices), but it also doesn't do anything for the moisture content of your skin! It actually acts as a barrier to keep outside moisture from penetrating! Use a good professional lotion and keep your skin in top shape. Also...make sure you use an SPF--tan smart!

Totally agree with Linda! Leave the baby oil to the babies and use a professional tanning product to get your best results! Most tanning salons should also carry SPF's for outdoor use.------------------Take A Trip To The Coast...Palm Coast Tann mike@palmcoasttann.com
