If you tan, drink, eat red meat, smoke or drive fast, you're going to die.chefann said:Except that everything causes cancer, so you might as well do what you want and die happy.

Get an extreme closeup of an elephant.Jennie4PC said:I have gone before but I dont tan in the beds I fry. So I havent been for 8 yrs. A girl in my HS did tanning beds and she made herself so dark you could find her in a dark room by the whites of her eyes. I wonder what she looks like now.
I always envied those that went to Florida on spring break and came back with such great tans. Now I look so much younger than they do! They look 60 or more and I am told I look in my early 40's (we're 56).dannyzmom said:I used to go in college when I was young and dumb.
Now that I live in Florida and I see all these 40 year old women who look like leather-back turtles...I coat myself in SPF 30 before leaving the house every day. I don't want to look 75 when I was 40.
Thanks but you haven't seen me in person. Well... I have been told that this picture made me look older than I looked in person when I met a cheffer once...Gina M said:Beth - you definitely don't look 56! I've never gone to tan - I have very fair skin and love my 30+ sunscreen - my 2 sons have very fair skin and my daughter's is somewhat darker - but I figure I certainly can't expect them to use sunscreen if I don't! I figure my skin is going to look good for a long time if I'm lucky.
Yeah it does!Paige Dixon said:Too bad tanning is so bad for us, it really camoflauges cellulite!
Jilleysue said:I use to , I like the spray tan for an event now...lightly of course. I wouldn't look like pumpkin...LOL
A golden glow looks nice
Oh! I like that one!Paige Dixon said:Pale is the new tan.
... or uneven!dannyzmom said:Where do you go for the spray tan? I would love to try it but am SO afriad I'll come out orange!!
jasonmva said:I am a religious tanning bedder! I take off the winter months but starting early Spring right through until late Fall. Which reminds me, I need to start going because my cruise is in 5 months.
BTW - My BF hates it if we start going at the same time because I always get darker than he does. What can I say, it is the Italian in me. (No comment KG)
Shawnna said:I love to go to the tanning bed. I always go in the spring to prepare for the summer months. Like everything else, you have to be smart about it. You start with a few minutes and work your way up to the full time. I usually buy a unlimited package and tan as much as I have time for for 1 month and then I am ready for baseball season and the swimming pool. The salon I use has 10 minute beds. I start at 5 minutes for several days and then move up to 6, then 8 and then the full 10. I don't burn and then later, when I am in the sun I don't burn. You just have to tan in moderation. Too much can leave your skin looking like leather...and you can get too dark. I have been tanning for about 25 years and everyone still says I look younger than I really am. I depends on the person and whether or not you abuse it.
raebates said:Actually, I do tan a bit. The problem is I'm so white no one can tell unless they see where I'm not tan.

Debs Tan by the mall in Coral Springs. She does a good job. You wear a thong and topless...well I do but its up to you. They determine how much..just very light.
It comes out nice. I have done it before![]()
You that French place? Targeaux? (Tar-ghey.) We used to make a day of it, starting there then buy clothes at Jock Penay and later, have lunch at Chez Renaldo.chefann said:I've use the Neutrogena spray-on that you can get at the drug store or Red Dot Boutique (Target). It works pretty well. Like any fake tan, it works best when you've exfoliated, so invest in a good body scrub (I like the Spa salt scrub from The Body Shop) and use that before you spray it on. The spray is nice because you don't have to rub it on, and it's more even than the creams.

AJPratt said:So I was driving home the other day and saw a Grand Opening for a tanning salon. I'm not sure why if these are so bad for people why they still have them? Has anyone ever gone or do you still go?
PamperChefCarol said:The same reason that people tan outdoors. Everyone knows that tanning is bad, but people still do it. It feels good, it makes them feel good, they think they look "better" with a tan, etc.
All I know is that I have been religious about sunblock on my face and at the young age of 50, my face hardly has a line on it. And none of those nasty brown spots.
Never could handle laying out. Too boring!
Some people enjoy the appearance of a tan and may feel more confident with a darker complexion. Tanning can also provide a temporary boost in mood due to the release of endorphins.
Tanning beds emit high levels of UV radiation, which can increase the risk of skin cancer and premature aging. Indoor tanning can also lead to eye damage, such as cataracts or macular degeneration.
There are many safer alternatives to tanning salons, such as self-tanning products or spray tans. These options provide a similar appearance without the potential risks associated with UV exposure.
Despite the known risks, tanning salons still exist because there is a demand for them. Many people enjoy the appearance of a tan and may not be aware of the potential dangers.
As a company, we do not endorse or support the use of tanning salons. It is important to prioritize your health and well-being over temporary beauty trends. There are many other ways to achieve a bronzed look without putting your health at risk.
