ummm. don’t shower an hour before or an hour after,

and invest in a good quality tanning lotion. make it a part of your tanning regimen, it really does help!!

keep your skin hydrated..

Don’t even do it you could easily contract skin cancer its very dangerous I’ve had several biopsies and thankfully negative. Skin cancer is the highest fatality of all cancers and its not worth your life to get that just right look.

I loved to tan when I was a teen and young adult and then I paid the price later don’t get a tan in the sun and really don’t do it on a tanning bed I call them cancer beds!

I know this probably sounds stupid, but when I used to go tanning (haven’t been recently because I’ve been sick) I only went a lot until I reached the right shade I wanted..
Aftet that I’d only go about 2 times a week, but would also use Jergens Natural Glow Express self-tanner. I’d mix it with a little bit of regular lotion, especially around my hands, feet, knees and elbows. The regular lotion also helped with the smell a bit, but it’s so worth it. It made a huge difference and I loved the color of my skin. It never looked fake or streaky. Just make sure you exfoliate before you apply.

Here’s the self-tanner:

Here’s how my skin looked using self tanner and occasional tanning beds:

(and without a tan I’m EXTREMELY pale, so this was like gorgeous color for me.)

exfoliate before you go tanning, any kind of tanning. sunbedding make sure you dont go for too long to start with, ease yourself into it.
lotions can be a bit of a mare to get even, or you could go for a spray tan.

instead of tanning bed it should be cancer bed

anyone who “assumes” that obviously hasnt read anything about tanning beds.
