La_madam 20 Posted June 13, 2006 Oh I tried the best of the best self tanners "Clarins" 40.00 a bottle, and the cheap ones too it looked great in the beginning but then found I looked Orange ...totally fake looking to me.. For all my 15+ years of using tanning beds , I see a dermatoligist regurlarly every 6 months and strip down naked and have her examine every inch of me..so far so good I feel happier and healthier with a tan and 100 lbs lighter I know I look better with a tan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenn28 0 Posted July 20, 2006 AMEN....LaMadem!! I couldn't agree with you more!! I have now been officially tanning for 1 month in a half and I feel so much better. I got my base tan in a standard bed and now I am in the Euro-bed. THis has no UV light and it' equivalent to 6-standard tans. I only go once a week now! As for my scares, I have a tan tummy with a touch of red! I call it my war wonds!lol......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted July 20, 2006 I had a spray tan today becuase I have a formal thing on tomorrow night. I dont know, I've never been a huge tanning bed user anyway, just every now and then, but since losing weight, my face does look a little older and I just cannot bring myself to accelerate the aging process by baking in a tanning bed. I know I'll look good now but will regret it like hell in five years time. The first time I had a Magic Tan (in those booths, no attendant necessary) I chose Level 2 and it was a bit too orange, not to bad. But today I had Level 1 and its a gorgeous colour, not really obvious - but enough to take the winter pallor off me and its a lovely golden brown. No stink and no streaking either and I know from previously that if you look after your skin as they recommend you get a good 7 days out of a tan. I think I'll be doing that weekly this summer, stuff it we can just eat baked Beans to pay for it. I'm a child of the 80's, brown is better to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foodstampchamp 3 Posted July 23, 2006 wow, I hope it is okay to tan. I bought a $4,500 tanning bed for my house a year ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iulizbug 0 Posted July 23, 2006 I tan twice a week and have no problems with it. I look much thinner with a brown glow than my normal albino white skin. I think everything in moderation is alright IMO. ~Liz~ 03/10/06 241/187/150ish 5'7'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
