Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me. I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.
I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)

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??
hey! ok first of all, the time you are allowed depends on the tanning beds and how strong the bulbs are. once you pick the place where you want to go, you can ask them what they recommend for a first time, and what is the maximum they allow. i go to the stand up tanning booths at hollywood tans, and the maximum allowed on those is 11 minutes... and when i went in for the first time i went for 6 minutes!
if you want a nice looking tan, then you CANNOT be going tanning every single day! especially if your skin is pale! i made this mistake a month ago, and went every day... needless to say i looked like a lobster and i was in so much pain i couldn't even sleep. yes eventually the redness turned into a tan... but the skin was so dead, it peeled away! so go 2 times in a row for a short time, then continue to increase the time overtime and start going every other day until you get a tan. after that you can go like every 3 or 4 days to maintain it. also, if you want you can use a little bit of sunless tanner (i use loreal sublime bronze) to even out your tan (your legs may be lighter than the rest of your skin) and make your skin look darker you can.
and to answer your last question, as far as i know the spray on tan is done by a machine! :)
