Re: First time tanning.

AG is not my favourite, but ask for a base builder or Step 1 lotion.

Re: First time tanning.

Do you know the average prices of tanning? Because the gym I work at it's 5$, a session Seems kind of exspensive.

Re: First time tanning.

Depends on your location. There are no real standards.

Re: First time tanning.

Every other day for a week to ten days, unless you get over exposed and turn pink. Start out slowly. Depending oun their beds and lamps, you should not go over 1/2 of the maximum session time. ie. 20 min bed, only go 6-10 mins. depending on your skin type.

Re: First time tanning.

Here I recommend 3 in a row, take a day off, 3 more and take 2 off, or every second day as long as you see no redness or itchiness. Hopefully you will pick a salon that actually does a skin analysis and will develop a schedule for you.

Re: First time tanning.

Neon, I also tell people that if they can't do everyother day, to do 2-3 days in a row, but they mush take a day or two off.

The skin is still processing the UV for up to 48 hours. Thus, day 3 they fry, even though their time is still the same as day 1 and/or 2.
