Fess Up -- Who Tans??

[sarahinva]

I have learned sooo much on this forum regarding how to live a healthier lifestyle. Now that spring is right around the corner, let's be brutally honest -- who's gonna visit the tanning beds? I'm ashamed to say that I am!

 

[wendymin72]

I did it for 2 seasons. Loved the look! Hated the time and the $ I had to invest in it so I stopped. Don't have the patience to lay in my backyard or visit the beach every weekend so I will be white once again this summer! lol

ETA: I must admit, I would have continued going tanning if I was more willing to part with the cash and give up the time for it...

Have a great work out!

Me neither. During the summer I am the sunblock queen. My DH likes to joke how pale I am. But I've really taken care of my skin so I'm proud to say that I have no lines/wrinkles. My best friend is 1 year older then me but looks a lot older b/c she tans constantly through the summer (both at the salon and at the pool).

(ya know they TAN hide to make it into leather... and i don't want my skin looking like leather!)

Ya'll keep talkin ~ you may shame me into getting "sprayed" ~

 

[desertbriez]

now that i would consider if the price was right and after i researched (which i haven't) i found out it was safe!

but i don't think we have any spray places here in the boonies!

I wonder how Cathe looks so dark in Hardcore ~ ya think it's the bed or the spray?

 

[desertbriez]

she posted she went to a tanning bed.. i was disapointed to hear that (sorry.. but i was! she's so health conscious otherwise!)

oh, believe me ~ you couldn't be any further out in the boonies than i am!!! the local tanning salon just started the spraying last year. i'm considering it ~ i'll probably feel like i'm a car in a carwash!

 

[desertbriez]

Not me! I'm naturally tan.

I do use sunblock year round. Mostly my face and neck during winter months.

 

[desertbriez]

OH... and i'm totally guessing cuz like i said.. i haven't researched at all.. but i think you may need to still wear sunscreen/block to keep from getting burned in the sun cuz i can't imagine the spray ads any uv resistance/protection!

Let's face it, all UV rays are harmful for the skin. So there is no way I would ever go to a tanning salon. I get burnt just being out in the sun for 15 minutes! I'm very fair (which sucks) and can't get a tan if I tried! x( SPF 1 million for me!

 

[wendymin72]

A friend of mine got the spray on tan at Hollywood Tans last summer and hated it! They sprayed her palms...who has tan palms?? And the "tan" was uneven and orange!!! Just be careful that it's a good color spray tan and that they do a good job.

Have a great work out!

I am SO WHITE right now that I have to go. If nothing else, I need to just get a healthy glow back. I use bronzer so people are not really aware of how white I am (compared to my norm, which is medium toned) until they see my skin.

 

[sarahinva]

oh my goodness ~ thank you!! (i'm assuming you're talking to me ~ but you know what you make out of yourself when you assume!) anyways, i think your right about getting burned. unfortunately, i've never seen that friends episode. I'm more of an Everyone Loves Raymond kind of girl. Love it love it love it. Just never could get into Friends.

Tanning beds are so bad for the skin as already mentioned. I will not be using them. However, I do use the spray on tanners. When I went on vacation last November, I got so many compliments on my tan. I admitted that it was a fake bake.

Cathe did post that she used the tanning beds at the gym a couple of times before she used the spray tanner.
