Rep Power: 0 | You should know that you will be able to even out your "Farmer's Tan" but it must be done in moderation.Usually the best unit to even up a tan is a stand up. Most stand up units are high pressure units. Meaning you need to try a low pressure unit maximizes the total tan time in that unit before trying a high pressure unit. Key here is to tan, not to burn! If you do burn that is damage to your skin and must stop tanning until it heals which will put you further behind in reaching your goal. If quick results is what you are looking for a bronzer lotion will help achieve that more so than rushing to a high pressure unit.Eye protection is a MUST! This is not just your salon trying to make a sale. Tanning without eye protection can and will lead to long term problems such as night blindness or even worse retina burns. Don't sacrifice your vision for a golden glow! There are several styles of eye wear, even ones that won't leave you with "raccoon eyes".The main thing to remember regarding indoor tanning is that the industry is designed to allow you the opportunity to tan without the burning and damaging your skin. You can't control the amount of sun or rays you are subjected to outdoors and the tanning industry is a smart alternative which can control the amount of uva & uvb rays with the types of lamps we use, the amount of time allowed to tan per session depending upon one's skin tone, and the educate we provide regarding our industry. Everyone should use an SPF outdoors for protection whether you are tan or not.------------------Tracie WilliamsSandollar Corporation |

Rep Power: 24 | First off, Tracie, most stand up tanning systems are not high pressure. Actually very few of them are offeredd at all. There are many that are VHR if that is what you might have meant.Big key to help even out that farmer tan is to use a good quality tanning lotion and moisturize. It will take time, but eventually you will see results.------------------Take A Trip To The Coast...Palm Coast Tann mike@palmcoasttann.com |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Farmers tan! HI, I'm 20. I have had farmer's tan for years, it's pretty bad. I really want to take this off, so I need tips on how to do it. I really don't care about tanning all my body, I look good in my natural white, and I don't have enough time for tanning myself. For how long should I cover my arms to get my color back? Or if I have the opportunity to tan for a few days under the sun, I know I'll get burn if I don't use sunscreen, but if I do, I won't get tan ¿will I? So, what's the way to do it? Thanks |
