Tanning beds...? How do I use them?

Question

I will be going indoor tanning soon and I was wondering about the tanning beds...this may sound a little weird but I'm kind of scared of the beds lol.

How do they work? Will someone do it for me? How do I use one? Someone please explain

Answer 1

Im not a lover of tanning beds to be honest with u there are two types the lie down ones which basically u shove a token in it obviously u strip off first, shove the token in for the amount of minutes u choose to go on do not be tempted to go under more than 5 mins for the first time as u will fry! u lie on the bed and pull the lid down over u until it is fully closed, its a bit claustrophobic for my liking lol, then there are the stand up cubicles strip off shove ur token in and walk in and stand and tan again for not too long try going first thing in the morning as the day goes on the hotter the beds get with constant usage I ended up with severe sunstroke using a hot bed after someone I was only in it for 2 minutes I had to be rushed to hospital and Ive never went on one since! why dont u fake it its safer than the beds

There you go =) Though I honestly don't suggest using tanning beds, since they really can cause some serious skin problems like skin cancer.  I recommend using the lotions with a hint of color that build up your tan over time.

I understand that your scared. My first time i was scared haha. Okay wuts gonna happen is they will give you a bed and you put lotion on then sumtimes the people who work there pre-time them and if thats the case just get in when your ready and close the top part and it should go on. But if you are gonna time yourself. Then put it on how long you need too and then MAKE SURE YOU FIND THE THINGS THAT GO ON YOUR EYES. those are the most important part becuz they need to be protected. Anyways put them on get in the bed press start and pull the top part down. Then when your time is up it will go off and you can get out. Thats it really

The other answers are pretty good. The only thing I would add is to just be open with the person in the salon. HOPEFULLY they are qualified, curtious consultants.

When I have new clients, I always make sure to be specific and answer all their questions because we've ALL had a first time, and when you're new to it, it's a little weird. (:
