Answers:
make sure you use a good tanning oil!.!.!.!. greased up skin!.!.!. tans!.!.!.!.!. dry skin burns!. Make sure you keep your skin very moisterized!.!.!. even after keep applying lotion!. I would go for about 5 or 6 minutes your first time!. If you happen to burn!.!.!. go for one minute less next time!. Increase the minutes about once a week add one or two minutes to the length!. Go every other day at the most!. Don't go everyday!.!.!.!. your skin needs at least 48 hours of rest before you hit the beds again! Good luck and I hope your tan looks hot for florida!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The length of time you spend in a tanning bed really depends on the bed itself!. Be sure to buy some really good lotion too, it really does make a difference, plus they smell amazing!. Talk to the people at the counter, they can recomend the lenght of time that you require to get a good base tan!. Expect for the first 2 weeks to be going to the tanning salon every other day!. Most place will start you off at 8 to 10 minutes!. Then you can increase your time by 2 minutes, or if your super fair than only 1 minute!.

Also bring some sort of music!. Either a CD or an Mp3 player!. It makes things so much more enjoyable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I burn wicked easily too :) When I went tanning before my trip to Mexico I started out at like 6-7 minutes!. That might depend on the strength of the bulbs, so maybe 8 tops!. I wouldn't go longer than that your first time!. Gradually add to it after a few trips!. I'd go 6-8 the first time, then skip a day (or 2 if you want) and then do the same time again!. Then (again skipping a day) maybe go 9!. Keep adding gradually like that til you get to like 12 (that was just my place's maximum time allowance---keep adding til you get to that maximum if they have one!. If they don't have one I'd stop at 12 :) ) Hope this helps!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, I agree when people say "Don't tan! You'll get skin cancer!!" I tan all the time and I have been for a few years!. I'm doing good!. You wanna go often if you want to keep the tan for a while!. You should start tanning for 6-7 minutes on the easist level a few times then work your way up to 12-14 minutes!. I reccomend tanning every other day or every few days!. You'll definetly notice a pretty good difference from now til the end of may!. Have fun on your trip and tanning!! Tanning is very relaxing!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i burn easy too!. they usually tell me to go for 3-5 minutes the first few times and then add a few minutes after that!. the people at the front desk should help you with that!. if you're worried about getting burned in Florida then get some SPF 50 sunblock and put a coat of that all over you (don't forget ears, cheeks and nose)!. then you can work down from 50 to like 35 so you don't burn!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

bad idea, you will have leather skin when you get older, but anyway!.!.!.
use a high spf, and tanning oil, don't stay in there for more than 15 mins, and also make sure you get a bed that doesn't have brand new bulbs, also take some alcohol spray w/you, so you don't get other ppls germsWww@Answer-Health@Com

CANCER CANCER CANCER!. Put that in your head now, and when you get it in a few years think back to this day and remember all the people that warned you!. I just can't understand why you would do this to yourself!. Soon there will be no sympothy for your kind because you have all been told!. Oh well, good luck to you in the future!.!.!.!.!.!.XXOOWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would start out at ten min, and then go from there!. If you do okay and you don't get red then you could go up to 15 min and stay there for 3 to four times and then go up to 20 and so on !.!. But the tanning salon staff should totally help you out, mine always have!. Have Fun!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

IIt's best to start with a short period of time!. I would go for only 10 to 12 minutes the first time to see how your body reacts to it!. If you burn easily in the sun, you will burn easily in the tanning bed as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

when you go there they will have you fill out a form, it will ask eye color, skin tone, hair color, if you burn easy etc!. then it will tell you how long you should go!. itll probally be like 3 min for the fist two times and slowly work up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the first time you go make sure you wear the lotion they sell there!. and i would only o for 5 maybe 7 minutes 5 if you burn easy and 7 if you tan easy!.
then each time you go up it by a minute!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well it depends if your pale skinned you will burn easily if your skin is medium you shouldnt lay any more than 10 minutes on your 1st visit! and if your darker skinned and dont burn easily then you could lay longer!. but its your 1st time so you will need a base tan so you probably just to be safe shouldnt lay but 7 or 8 minutes but im caucasian but im dark complected and the 1st time i went in 9 months i burned like hell my skin felt like leather so really start out with no more than 10 minutes and skip a day and lay 3 or 4 minutes longer and then before you know youll be laying 20 minutes every time! and the tanning bed should cut off on its own after 20 minutes oh and there is all kinds of tanning lotion available but the best kind is in a pink bottle and its called pink diamond it has the tingle factor so it will make your skin red for maybe an hour or 2 and it may be itchy and burn but if you use it once your tan will look like you layed 3 or 4 times! this is the best tanner! dont put it on your face but it will burn but your skin wont be burnt but your tan will be hott!Www@Answer-Health@Com
