Tanning

I'm just curious, how many of you girls go tanning?

If I were any paler I'd be see-through.

In the summer I get a farmer's tan from being on the bike 2+ hours per day, but it never lasts. Damn genes...

I'm not a girl, by the way. I'm just bored.

I'm from the tropical rainforest,so there is no need.. really

chicken... the more roasted the better :evil:

BTW Moiselles, i really like your new avi and siggy... I didn't know almudena but now i'm glad she's in the BZNTM competition

I haven't been tanning in a long time, but I recently just started and even after two sessions I see a big difference and I like it.

Thanks, Taben. I Almudena. Wish she was more popular, though.

:yuckky: I absolutely NEVER go tanning. My skin freckles and spots really easily, and I want to avoid wrinkles. I used to tan a lot, but people like Liv Tyler and Nicole Linkletter finally made me realize I look just as pretty when I don't abuse my skin...

but still, sometimes I wish I was naturally golden.

If you don't go fry yourself and drink lots of water and don't smoke or drink ( on a regular basis ), then I think your skin will be okay. But, if you are naturally very fair skinned like Liv Tyler or Nicole Kidman, I'd put on SPF anyway.

One of my friends wants to start tanning...I really don't want to, i dont have pale skin so i dont need it..but i guess it would still be prettier but im scared of what it can do to my skin .

I'm not naturally paper white, I just freckle madly.

So where do you guys usually tan? The beach? Backyard? Salon?

Backyard, and at the beach when i go on vacation

i've tried to get tans in the beach but i end up getting really red. im hispanic, you'd think i'd be a little darker but no, it's awful

I don't have to tan. My skin is naturally tanned... thanks dad!

i am white and i am dieing to get tanned but my skin just gets red few days

Have you tried a self tanner? Maybe that would be better.

^ but the sun always feels better. :neo2:

Personally, I avoid going in the sun without a UVA/UVB SPF 30 sunscreen. Tanning looks nice temporarily but when I get old, the liver spots, freckles, wrinkles, and scaley skin will be not worth it. Not to mention the fact that you get most of your propensity for skin cancer in the future before the age of 18! I do use tanning lotions though.

is that the one they do in Salons?

I have a very pale skin and I like keeping it that way. however, when i want to get tanned, then i go to a salon, somehow sunbathing is not good for my skin, no matter what i use (hmm...... ozone, we are missing you over here !)

Sunbathing isn't good for your skin no matter what complexion you have. Use the fake stuff. Spray on, that moutiruzer slow bronzer stuff, whatever! (has never tried either of these, feels her freckles will disappear if she does)

I use a ton of sun block. A tun. On cloudy days, in the middle of winter. And when the sun's shining and I'm out, I reapply every two hours. Seems silly now, but I'm 23 and have been doing this since I was 16. When I'm 50, my face is going to look fabulous.

is that the one they do in Salons?

No. You can buy it at stores. I've never tried them, but I know Estee Lauder, Neutrogena, and umm... Loreal have self tanners.
