Should I go to the tanning bed?

Question

I have a huge ball to go to in about two months. I got this gorgeous black dress with crystal beading, but it makes me look a little bit washed out. I was considering going to the tanning bed just up until the ball. It would help me be more confident, I'm sure. Should I?

Answer 1

I say YES... do your research and ask  and make sure that the salon you use has BRONZING bulbs. They are better then cheap bulbs salons buy that will take you longer to tan and bronzing bulbs help you tan faster and look healthier. Also buy some tanning lotion from the salon it is expensive but does make a big difference. I prefer Australian Gold Idol.. it is great.. Also use a sticker or leave on underwear something to help you gage your tan.. cuz you don't want to over due it.  Good luck and have fun at you Ball!

Answer 2

dont go on a sunbed because u have 2 pay a lot of money for creams which u should use on a sunbed plus u have 2 pay 4 each sunbed u have ur best bet is 2 days b4 have an all over fake tan st tropez is the best it may cost u around 30 pound proffesionally but still less than u would pay 4 sunbeds and cream and u wont get skin cancer i had this on my wedding day and every one said thats what made my dress look lush was the tan  

Answer 3

Only if you like wrinkles and skin cancer!

A much better bet would be to use a self-tanner. There's some out there that build up color very gradually. Much better use of your time and money.

Answer 4

I would say no. Tanning beds can be very dangerous and have been known to cause skin cancer. Plus they can get pretty expensive. It would first try one of the new lotions they have that are supposed to make you look tan, they work for a lot of people. And since you have 2 months they have plenty of time to work.

Answer 5

ABSO-F***IN-LOUTLEY! i use the beds when evr im feeling a little washed out and when something big is comming up. i find having gone on the beds,.. that i actualy catch the real sun better!!

ALOT of people think that they are real bad for you,.. BUT the only people that had any bad side affects are the people that used them more often than they changed there pants! (using them 2-3 times a day or summat like 10times a week!) trust me,.. They make you feel glorious and glamorous! don't over do it and take the consultants advice at the salon as to the best course (how often how long you use them) for you!. Best of luck!

Answer 6

apply your own self tan the night before, tanning beds have the risk of developing skin cancer

Answer 7

There are a lot of self tanning products that are safer than bathing in rays that will cause you to look older, skin cancer, nasty brown spots, wrinkles, the list goes on an on.

Tan fat looks better than white fat but damaged skin looks bad no matter what color it is.

Don't go.

Answer 8

Well,  tanning beds cause cancer.

My aunt has gotten 4 small tumors and cysts removed from her face because she's been using a tanning bed.

So NO, I would not recommend it.

I used an airbrush tan for my Military Ball last year! It looked great! =D

It looks so real!  Here's a link! =]

Answer 9

you really shouldn't, your dress sounds beautiful but it isn't worth it, most people get skin cancer from tanning beds

Answer 10

Of course you should!  I can't believe how anal people are around here.  LIKE:  OMG, NOOOOOooo DOOON'T go to a TANNING BEDDDDD!!!!   It will ruin your life FOREVER!!!!!  

We don't live our lives by some strict code.  Here's my strict code:  what don't kill me, makes me stronger.    Life is meant to experience things, to have fun, to learn, geez.. (end of rant).

Anyway.  Everything (including tanning beds) is fine in moderation; just don't overdo it so you get burned or that leathery look from too much tanning. I would start about a month b4 the event; go 2-3 times a week.  The week b4 the event, you could even go a time or 2, just moisturize daily for the prettiest, softest-looking skin when the big night arrives.  Have fun!

Answer 11

No!!! very bad for use sunless tanning lotion every night until the ball....much better and it works for me...I have no idea what brand it is because I get it at the salon but you could ask around
