Hi
I was just wondering...
1. can you go to a tanning bed like every other day or should you out more time is between or does it really matter...?
2. do the UV rays or anything mess up acrylic nails?
2. how long/or how many sessions does it take to get a good base tan...?
3. Has anyone tried any really good lotions that work really well...
by the way...i dont need people telling be how it will harm me...i know the outcome...i am only doing for a month...

The fact is that just because something happens to someone does not mean it will happen to you!! As for tanning - you can go everyday. I would suggest giving it like 5 minutes the first day and then maybe even 5 on the second day. SLOWLY move up so that you get a tan and don't burn. It may feel really slow - but it's worth it. No, UV rays will not mess up acrylic nails at all. Getting a good base tan depends on your skin. Even fair skin can get a great base tan in a month. Like I said, go slow. For a lotion - use something with a bronzer. Stay away from tingle factors for now - those lotions are for when you are already tan. Since all of the lotions work differently on people - use a few different samples from the front desk. If you use them right they can last 3 times. Oh yeah, get a triple bronzer if you want color really quick. If you tell the person there you want a triple bronzer sample they will point you in the direction. One thing I do recommend is the eye protection. I think it is worth it to spend a few bucks on a pair and they don't leave tan lines. ALSO - when you use a bronzer - make sure to get an extra towel that is wet so that you can wipe your hands REALLY good. It may stain if you don't.

1&2. Go once every 24-48 hours to build your base. Depending on how well your skin is doing, you can decide whether you can go once a day or once every other day. A good rule of thumb is if your skin is not pink within the 24 hours after your session, you can probably go again the next day without any problem. If your skin is pink, feels dry and itchy, or you get a rash, this is a signal that you went for too many minutes and need to take a break until it feels better and then start over again.Once you build up your base, you really don't need to tan as often. So depending on the type of bed you are using, you should only go 2-3 times per week to keep your tan, even less in stronger beds. This is where I see many people go overboard, tanning every day when it is really not necessary. Many people enjoy the relaxation time that tanning provides, but tanning too often can and will speed up your aging process and potentially cause other skin ailments over a long period of time. Just like everything else in life, moderation is key!
2. No. Not at all! UV rays don't mess up acrylic nails!
3. About the lotions i personally use Babie tanning lotion. Or Australian Gold dark tanning Accelerator spray is pretty great as well. I use them both!
