Rep Power: 0 | We are new to tanning and have gotten these racing stripes down our back. We are stuck with the salon that we use due to personal reasons (very dear family friends). Is it the bed we are using and if so are there any tricks we can use to help eliminate these stripes? Thanks, Panicked!!! |

Rep Power: 0 | Twenty minutes the first time I got the stripe. The second time, I went for the same amount of time, but I shifted my body over to each side every few minutes and the stripe did not appear. Do I just need to shift every time or what is the trick? |

Rep Power: 27 | without skin typing you i can't say for sure. but we never let anyone start over 10 mins, (depending on skin type) some start at 4,5 6 mins. but never over ten. and then we only increase the time by 2-3 mins. until they get to the full 20 session. _________________ Mitzi Getting Ready to Rock in 2003[ This Message was edited by: Mitzi on 2003-03-15 17:42 ] |

Rep Power: 0 | There may also be a slight difference as to how your back meets with the bed. Somtimes your shoulder blades and bottom push you back up forward and you can get some lighter shades. Once a week we use a stand-up tanner just to fill in any tanlines. |

Rep Power: 0 | Believe it or not, we just rotated to the left for awhile and then to the right for the next few times that we went and now we have gotten it all to even out. Our problem was that we must have been trying to rush it all to fast. Thanks for all the input. |
