the burning of the heels are not unsual, i have one bed in particular that burns everybodys heels!! lolol its because of the ends of the bulbs are exposed under the acrylic usually its covered up by tape on the acrylic, i didnt get them on mine when i ordered new acrylics. anyway, its nothing to worry about. just hold your feet up lolol

Holy crap. Why can't salon owners understand that you need to know what the equipment does before you use it. I get so tired of the bigger means better mentality in the industry. I'm sure the educated 1/4 of us wouldn't make as much money though if that were the case. Step 1: base Tan -Step 2: darker (bronzer, tingle stc)- step 3: maintenance (protect your investment!);)

I didn't say bigger is better. More advanced is better though. In high pressure less is more and even the "educated" should agree that less UV exposure is better than more exposure. What do you think is bestr for the tanner, 3 - 5 times a week in a base bed to maintain or 1 - 4 times a month in a high pressure? It usually seems to be that the people who don't agree that the more advanced/more expensive is better usually aren't willing or able to make the investment.

too much too fast, over exposure. Ever checked out the tanning vitamin (Vitatan)?

The same thing happend to me recently. Before Memorial day I went tanning for the first time to look good in my bikini and oh my gosh- I got so fried. It was terrible. I went to the medicine cabinet when I got home and applied my Atopalm. I got a sample from my friend who works in the skin care industry and it's awesome. It's a pretty thick white cream and I think they use it in the doctor's office for people with skin problems.

Try taking benadryl and use sarna anit itch lotion

I had the same problem as Tootsie did when I went tanning for like my second time, and I used a sample packet of lotion that had hemp in it, so I just assumed that it was the hemp that made me itch ( like when people make those hemp necklaces, they itch if you dont soak them). So after that I have never used a hemp lotion. But after hearing this, I might try one again.
