Hey Guys.
Whats your views on tanning beds?
Do any of you guys use them?

-The reason i ask this question is because I'm thinkin of going on them... but due to all the 'Go on the sun-bed & get skin-cancer' thing, i dont really know what to do.?

Thanks for your time,

I have a tanning bed in my gym and yes I use it. I change between using sunlamps and self tanners.

Don't ever overdo one thing and you'll be okey (ask for more info at the gym proposing the sunbeds).

i do like tanning beds but my skin doesnt. I dont burn, and even though i moisturize like crazy and exfoliate, i find my skin starts to look "old" and im only 28, so i dont use them anymore. I do miss having a tan but i'm not fond of using self tanners.Plus a lot of cancer runs in my family on both sides.

I used a tanning bed (stand up)for a month and loved it. Was allowed to use it only every other day and for only ten minutes per session, but it worked, though no one seemed to notice. I don't tan easily, I usually burn, but that is probably because I over-exposed. You need to be aware of the possible side effects of skin cancer. I've never used the "lie down". They take longer--have to bake on both sides.

you can take one of those tanning showers. :)
it takes about 2 mins and yo're nicely brown for the summer.
i think it costs a lot though...

Just don't overdo it and turn orange. I hate that "fake'n bake" orange colour.

*shudder*
