Q: What is the maximum time limit to be in the tanning beds? If i go tanning for 15 minutes every day, how long will it take for me to get bronzed? (my skin is pale) When you get the spray on tan, do the people spray you or does a machine do it??
WHOA NELLY!!! Listen to me my fair-skined-sister ~ DO NOT GO INTO A TANNING BED FOR 15 MIN! You will come out burnt to a purple crisp! We light skined ladies should generally begin our tanning treatments with 5 min sessions 3 times a week (with at LEAST one day between tannings.) If two days after you go you are NOT AT ALL pink, then it's okay to go again.
After two weeks of 5 min tanning, you can up it to 8 min (still following the "No tanning if you are pink" rule), and the next week up to 12, then 15. Once you have reached your desired level borzed-godesshood weekly treatments of 15-20 min should be all you need.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to protect your eyes while you are in a tanning bed. GOOD GOGGLES ARE A MUST!!!

Good Luck!
