use a body lotion before you go on the sum bed. it can prevent sum burn all together but it can help.

Make sure you use lotion everytime, but not sun screen.Theres no 100% way to prevent sunburn, because going into a tanning bed will sometimes cause your skin to burn in order to get tan, so ur best best is to just use lotion and remember to always use eye protection.

You're not in the sun.

To prevent from getting a sun burn when you are in a tanning bed, start off tanning for a few minutes then gradually increase the time you tan each time you go in a tanning bed. You can also wear lotion too.

well...i myself lay in my grandma's tanning bed a lot i lay for up to 27 minutes at a time BUT i doo nott think that you should start with anymore than 10 minutes at a time..once your used to the 10 minutes work your way up to fifteen and if thats not good enough for you try 17 and work your way to 20. I don't really suggest that you lay more than 20, i only lay 27 because i have really dark skin already...

I would take a good sunscreen along.The people rinning the place should be able to give you the best advice though.

I work at a tanning salon, so I can tell you just what you need to know. :o)
First of all, if you go out into the sun without any sunblock on, how long does it take you to burn? If LESS than an hour, you want to go three minutes for like three times. If more than an hour, start out with five minutes, then do that three times. If after three sessions of five minutes you didn't turn pink at all, try seven mins. Basically, go up in 2-3 min. increments if you're not turning even the lightest shade of pink. Do not wear sunblock in the tanning bed, it defeats the whole purpose. By going slow, then increasing by a few mins. each time, the melons in your skin get used to the tanning, & that's why eventually you can go for twenty mins. without burning. Ask the salon you goto for the best lotion for you.

You have to start out slow. If it is your first time, 5 minutes is plently. And then you gradually add on to that. Also ask at the salon what they recommend.

Tanning beds can be REALLY dangerous if you don't use them correctly. Put on plenty of sun tan lotion to protect your skin and don't stay in long. Burns cause skin cancer so watch time as you get tans.
