slpbailey 2 Posted July 23, 2017 Don't understand this tanning mindset, especially when you seem to be concerned about your health, exhibited by your desire to lose weight. (Unless your weight loss is totally based on appearance and not health). Tanning beds are one of the worst things you can do. Your skin is your body's largest organ and you will be subjecting it to cancer and skin damage. I'm not judging you, but hopefully giving you some information about tanning beds that maybe you've missed and would like to do more research on. 2 Bits and southernbellair79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmandaWho 158 Posted July 24, 2017 I'm about 2 months out and I've gone a few times. People will say what they want but bottom line is, I'm not trying to be pale in my wedding dress and I work 2 jobs, 7 days a week so getting to the beach is about hard.

Joann454 1,329 Posted July 24, 2017 I was at the beach in three weeks. But all my scars were covered. I would suggest keeping them covered for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The 147 Posted July 24, 2017 I would suggest never as they are a major cause of skin cancer, which is why they are banned in Australia. 1 Iconcinnity reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karcares 34 Posted August 3, 2017 When I was in my 20's I went to a tanning salon, loved being tan and loved laying out in the sun. Now, in my 50's, still love being tan but care more about age spots, wrinkles and skin cancer. Since surgery I've been using Jergens self tanner. Love it, everyone at work says I'm glowing and it isnt aging my skin. Think about it, just saying. 1 Joann454 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
