ok well ive decided to go tanning for the very first time you see im not the type of girl that would normally do this but its something i want to do but the only problem is i have no idea how to like i know you have to wear something like a bathing suit but how do you adjust the temperature? and how do you know when its done? the lady told me there was two options but i forget the names of both how do i get a nice tan with out turning orange and without coming out the same i was before?? help!!!

When I go tanning (I'm not sure if this is how it works for where you're gonna go) I go up to the front counter and the lady asks me how long I want to tan for. I go in there and tan & whatnot, and the bed automatically turns off when your time is up. The temperature is already set. It's not like in movies how the girl always has to turn a knob, it's already set for you, so you really don't have to do anything at all. You don't have to wear a bathing suit, a lot of people go naked when they go tanning because of tanlines. If you want to though, that's fine. The two options that the lady probably gave you were bed or booth. A booth is where you stand up in, and personally I think that it works better. It's not as scary as it looks. I was freaked out when I first stepped into one, but it's not bad once you get the hang of it.

A bed is what you lay down in, and it's usually in a separate room.

You won't turn orange from using a booth/bed, but you might turn orange if you get a spray on tan.

If you don't want to come out the same as you were before, you might want to ask the lady at the front desk what's the longest time that you should tan for your skin tone. You might have to go a few times before you see drastic results if you have really fair skin.


Hope I helped. =)
