so i have weird skin on my body.  i used to go to the tanning bed about 5 years ago...  i know its bad.  but i swear the only way my skin looks perfect is if it's tan.


do i go to the tanning bed covered in sunscreen and see if that works or do i just deal with the crap skin?

I am the same way, my skin tends to be a little splotchy when it is pale.  I go to the tanning bed for a little every spring.  I think the key is to not burn (start slowly) and to stop when you have a decent base tan (not get taneorxic).  I keep my makeup on, which has an spf in it and am sure to use a lot of moisturizer afterwards.  I just keep up my tan in the summer by laying out radomly.


I'm a firm believer that just about anything in moderation is ok

Happy to be your tanning enabler (as long as you don't turn out as red as him, hehe)

I'm going to be the voice of dissent here. I know tanning looks good now but it's soooo bad for your skin! Go with sunless tanning - you'll thank yourself later.

i usually self tan at home, and go tanning twice and it's just-enough, but not too much.  i've heard jersey girl tan is a great brand.

i know that it's bad for you...  but my dilemma is i either have blotchy icky looking skin, or go tanning a few times and have better skin.  the sunless tanning is what i have done for a while now, and it doesn't make my skin look any better.  it really sucks.

In the long run, its not worth it.

It's going to make your skin worse and worse, and causes cancer.
