Tanning beds.
I have never gone tanning and I'm kind of confused. I'm not really comftrable with people seeing my body and such, so how is it like?? Is each tanning bed in one room or all together? Do I use lotion? Any tips. Thanks a lot. I have gone mystic tanning but I can't go now.

I admit i'm a fake bake fanatic. It's a quick and easy way to get a tan since the course load i'm taking on this year leaves me little or no time. And i can tell you i'm not the only one stuck on this latest trend; it's normal to see girls walking around with a mid summer tan during winter! Even so i highly recommend you skip the beds and hit the beach. Tanning in general causes damage to skin cells and leads to problems later in life such as skin cancer and aging so rub on that sun lotion as often as you can.
Here's some facts about tanning beds:
Fake baking is a $2 billion-a-year industry in the United States.
It is NOT a healthy alternative to suntanning. (especially since the UV rays are hitting directly onto your skin 5 inches away)
Ask the experts at the tanning place how long you should tan for, since skin types and colors may vary the time.
Most people tan weekly at an average of $9 for a standard session. ($469 a year)
Tanning beds can cause the three main skin cancers: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
tanning lotions wwill accellerate the your tan time and prevent burning. It also moisturizes and prevents cell breakdown.
salon tanners were up to two and a half times more likely to get skin cancer than people who had never tried indoor tanning techniques.
For each decade earlier that you do it, your skin-cancer risk climbs by 10 to 20 percent
Tanning salons usually offer discounts for regular bakers. Admittance comes in one time only (up to 30 minutes on the bed), all-you-can-tan (weekly, monthly, season passes), and some even offer yearly. The tanning salons on campus are a lot cheaper ($3-4 per session) than the ones off campus. The ones on campus don't change their bulbs and god knows whos been on there before you. Fortunately, there's one about 7 minutes off campus and i can pick up a chai latte on my way there :)
Tanning salons SHOULD be offering individual rooms for each person allowing you to go au natural (avoiding those skanky bikini tattoos) and they should offer you a one time use DISPOSABLE bikini and eye protective wear.
In the end it's your body, your choice.

my sis works in a tanning place, so i have seen it. ok there are seperate rooms with doors and tanning beds in each one, so it is private. so ya, but big warning, tanning can increase your chances of skin cancer, and kills brain cells...so dont say i didnt warn ya.

Each tanning bed is in it's own separate room. You MUST use some kind of lotion with a higher SPF around 20 or so. The tanning beds' lights are concentrated, so they will burn you alot faster and alot worse than the actual sun. A half hour in there without tanning lotion will have you peeling for months.

okay well it depends how tan you wanna get.
i do it-
i get a meduim tan like a beachy tan, it looks like i went to the beacch i lay in tehre four about 15 mins. but i keep it on the meduim tempature.
you dont nessicarily have to use loition, if you burn easily, then id reccomend a spray on. not the gooey lotion. its like dry oil and it keeps you feeling cool when you are getting tan!
usually if you want a friend with you you would be out of the room when she is changing then when shes in the booth thing she would holla at you and tell you shes ready for you to come in. but thats if you was a friend with you
in my area.. well most of NY its all a 1 room 1 booth, or 1 room 2 booths. if theres not a 1 booth open you would wait or take a 2 booth and just be by yourself in there untill its really crowded. then you get dressed and such.!

Tanning beds are normally each in a room by theirselves. There would be no one to see you take your clothes off.
You don't have to use lotion, but for a quicker more effective tan it is recommended.
Tanning stickers are very useful in keeping track of how dark you have gotten. And dont try to lay for to long your firts few times or you will just end up burned and peeling. If you have never been I would suggest laying only about 10 minutes for your first visit and slowly increasing it each time after that until you are laying for the full amount of time.
