im about your age and i tried tanning but we had this talk about tanning at school and it really scared me.so i stop and now i use tanning lotion which i would recommend ur mom or someone puts it on you so its not streaking. it works about the same i have tanned once since i started using tanning lotion and it was for a big dance so just a little bit of tanning wont hurt to much. but i would stop

It's bad for you at any age. Exposing yourself to the ultraviolet rays of a tanning bed not only harm your skin (you'll get more wrinkles as an old person), but mess up the structure of your cells, meaning you will be prone to skin cancer. Tanning beds don't directly affect your ability to have children, however, something like cancer could potentially stop you from having any.

Yes, a lot of people do it, and you won't notice any adverse health affects right away. However, the sunless tanning lotions (preferably the ones with DHA as an active ingredient) are probably a safer alternative, and they are probably cheaper as well =]

Four times a week! That's terrible, you should do it for like twice a month! Dude, you're going to die of skin cancer. I suggest stop going tanning all together.

Tanning lotion does dramaticly help, and I would advise you to ask the workers at your tanning place to recomend a good lotion for you. There are many out there to choose from! Also is there a reason why you are tanning ( vacation) or do you just like being tan. Either way I personaly think that 4 times a week is a little much. I would tone it down to possibly once a week, you will still see the same results. You also have to take into consideration which bed you are using. Each bed will give differnt outcomes.

You can go tanning and still have children! Don't worrie about it there is no link between the two that should cause you to worrie.

I hope this helped and message me if you still have questions, Best of luck!
