Tanning bed question

[SteelWeaver]

WOW!!! Thank you everyone! This is amazingly helpful. Unfortunately, the karma machine is hanging on me, so if you didn't get karma, it's not because I didn't try!

So the Step 1, Step 2 products are not like self-tanning lotions? They just make it so that you tan faster, right?

FyreWomanGoddess, it's not that I haven't tanned before - just haven't used a bed. I come from sunny South Africa - you just have to walk outside for a year-round tan. It has been a while, though.

New@ - yeah, it IS a BB show, sanctioned by the Japanese Federation of Bodybuilders (JFBB), but this is Japan, the land of mindless rules. No offense to any Japanese people, but sometimes it seems like those in authority here make rules simply for the sake of doing so. From a Western perspective, it's pretty stupid, but I think it serves the purposes of "wa" or social harmony here. Anyway, there's nothing I can do about it. At the 3 shows I went to see last year, everyone looked kind of dry-skinned - I don't think they were wearing any oil, although they were pretty dark. There was a clear contrast between the guest poser and the contestants. I'm sure there are ways around the rules, but I have to talk to more people here about this.

I heard Pam makes you too shiny, no?

Uh, one other thing - do I shave/hair-remove before tanning? Everywhere? Should one remove even arm hair before a comp.?

Step 1 helps you build up a tan. Step 2 helps your tan get darker. Step 3 are the moisturizers.

I just got a job at a tanning spa part time while in University.

1)you should go naked, there is really no reason not too.

2) tanning lotions accelerate the absorption od uv and other rays in the skin by raising red blood cells to the skin.

this practice is not necessary till you become adavnced or have to get tan really quick.

3) always! wear goggles, in the bed for your eyes.

actually the best thing to use are quarters!

seriuosly disinfect the quarters and put them on your eyes, it works much better, and only costs 50 cents

4) more is not always better, I think 3 times a week is the max one should tan.

hope this helps the women

sincerly,

a dude

Forgive me...don't the quarters get hot?

forgiven......No

seriuosly I am not joking

when the owner who happens to be my freind said to a customer
"use quaters" I thought he was joking
but he was not

and the customer upon leaving the facilities, actually went out of her way to thank him, and said how it actually felt better and more effective than the goggles.
