I went tanning the other day, I burned some , I know its bad, it was 10 minutes in the tanning bed, I ordered smoke accelerator heard it was good from someone, haven't received it yet, I was in the tanning bed with no lotion whatsoever, how can I get tan without burning lower minutes and go many times? or is there a secret thanks Scott.

well it all depends on the strength and max tan time of the bed. if you burnt at 10 give it a 2 day break and go back for 8 then take atleast 1 day off between sessions. only move up if you didnt get red.

yes smoke is good. what do you mean you ordered it from your salon i hope.

YOUR SALON SHOULD BE ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS

The first time you tan, you will get a bit red, unfortunetly. But I think 10 is a bit much, 8 would have been better--CTM was right. Make sure you always buy lotions directly from the salon, however. There are a couple of reasons: You know that what you're getting is fresh, genuine and new. The second is so you can take a sample that most salons have at the counter so you prevent wasted money if you decide it's not the right kind for you. And you want to make sure it doesn't stink too bad. :-) But good luck and PACE YOURSELF. Try the samples, take it one minute at a time, moisturize and you'll be tanner than tan in no time!

Oh, and ALWAYS USE LOTION!!!!!! Bare skin burns, dries out and doesn't produce results. Not a good way to start your tan.
