Rep Power: 103 | Re: why am i not going brown? 1. Do you normally tan if you are in the sun? If not, you will not tan in a tanning bed either. Unanswered. 2. The "solarium" that you go to, when is the last time they changed their lamps? Unanswered. 3. How long have you been going full sessions? OK. If everything else checks out, you should be seeing color. 4. what kind of tanning bed are you using? Unanswered. 5. what kind of accelerator are you using? OK. Nothing special. You may want to try a little better lotion, but it won't do any good if you aren't getting the proper amount of UV exposure. 6. what kind of after sun are you using? Try a moisturizer designed for tanning.

Rep Power: 21 | Re: why am i not going brown? sometimes like going out at night even though I am dark in certain light if I look at my legs or arms I look pale and then I think geeze I must be slacking eekkk! but then I see a picture from that night and realize I had great color..Or I have a lady who is dark dark dark like the color of Mahogny wood whenever she leaves the salon I feel pale!!! A few tips use a digital camara and take a picture, a picture is worth a thousand words and if you have color it will show up.....If that doesn't work perhaps your platue is a light shade and you need a tingle, heat or good bronzer to jump......and if all else fails inquire at your local salon about air brush tanning:)~ |
