Tanning salons?? how long?

I am 16 years old and I am planning to go to a tanning salon on friday after school. I am going to be going to wonderland on saturday and I want to have a pretan before I go. I am pale right now and just want to be a little darkened before I go. Is this possible?? How long would it take?Tanning salons?? how long?
If this is your first time, you will not notice a change in your tan by Saturday. Here is a little crash course on tanning salons.





-20 minutes is the MAX you can lay in a tanning bed, and if a salon lets you go for longer, then they are not professionals. A specialist at the salon will determine the number of minutes you should attempt for your first time. It will depend greatly on your skin tone.





-Tanning indoors is the same as tanning outdoors, so you will notice that it takes time to build a tan. You will not be magically tan after your first time in the bed. It will take a few weeks of going once or twice a week to get a good base tan. Increasing the minutes each time will help in building the tan, but if you are looking for an instant tan the day before your trip and have never tanned indoors before, it will not happen. Your only option is a spray-on tan (which I do not recommend because it looks unnatural and can get quite messy).





-After your first time, expect to get a little pink and irritated. It can happen after each visit, but can be avoided by lowering the amount of minutes. Nothing is worse than tanning before a big event and ending up red all over.





Just plan in advance next time. I can only suggest you go to that session on Friday and keep going each week so you can be tan and ready for your next trip.Tanning salons?? how long?
First of all, I used to be an avid tanner in thebeds and I refuse now because they are sooo soo bad for you. If you want a little color may i suggest either the low ray beds or, honestly, Jergens Tanning Lotion. Make sure it is rubbed in good and that you wash your hands when you aree done and it works! I went to mexico white as white and used that for 4 days before and it made a big difference. You have to be careful though, that you let it dry before dressing!
first of all


if your going saturday and you wanna go to a tanning salon


your not gunna tan unless you go like everyday until saturday for 20 minutes


which you shouldnt because its not good for your skin


my suggestion


buy sunless tanning lotion


muchh cheaperr than spending your money on a tanning bed in which you wont tan(from experience)


try and get neutrogena, start off with light, my friend has it and i used it twice, and i was reallly dark


its in an orange bottle, its not a spray its a lotion


dont put it on then shower after


try and shower before


and put it on before you go to bed





hope this helps.
well unless you are looking to lay out in the sun for a couple hours then you can't get darker before you go.. and if you go tanning for your first time and u have pale skin , dont go into the tanning bed any longer than 8 mins. and gradually work urself up for a longer time
