tanning( for people who tan!)
i want to start tanning again, but the last time i did a couple years ago, i had some problems with it. my back got darker than my front, and my sides didnt get tan at all, and neith did under my arms. so i just have a few questions. :)
are all tanning beds the same? do they turn you orange for a while, then you get tan? ( i turned a little orange when i did it.)
could the reason i turned orange be because of the lotion i was using? should i not use a lotion? i was thinking that maybe i could use this lotion in there: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) i use that when i lay outside sometimes, and it always seemed to work really well. or should i just get a super good lotion that's made for the tanning bed?
any tips or just anything that anyone can tell me would be greatly appreciated. :)

Okay I think I can help with this a little bit since I work at a tanning salon.
The reason you were tanning in some areas and not the other may be the bed you were tanning in. Was it the lowest level bed that is really small? This happens alot because you cant spread your arms, legs, etc. There are different level of beds and I would recommend using a higher level bed. You'll see a more even tan and get better color. You should not be looking orange at all. As for lotion, ALWAYS use lotion. Lotion is used to hydrate your skin, without it, this is where you're going to get your wrinkles and your skin will look like leather. Also, if you don't lose lotion you lose 5 minutes of the tanning because your skin isn't moisturized. So always use lotion. As for what kind of lotion, different people like different lotions. Personally I like a bronzer, some people don't. I think they work well. At our work we sell step 1 lotions and step 2 lotions. They each do something different for your skin so you alternate every time. Also, some people love the tingle lotions. This will cause you to be really red right when you get out because it brings all the red blood cells to the top of your skin, but after an hour the redness goes away and it gets you pretty tan. Don't use lotion that you use outside, definitely buy an indoor lotion. Either one with a bronzer or with a tingle. I hope this helped, if you have any more questions send it to my inbox!

okay i ALWAYS used to have these problems.
the only wayy that your wont and uneven tan is if you go in the standup bed not the laydown one.
when your in the standup there should be a place over your head where you hold onto so that it tans your whole body evenly. (even your sides)
and the for tanning lotion. you have the one with a bronzer in it and you need to spread that one out VERY evenly. but i suggest you use a tanning lotion that doesnt have a bronzer in it.
AND DONT USE REGULAR TANNING LOTION THAT YOU USE TO TAN OUTSIDE YOUR POOL WITH.
its not healthy and it wont work.
hopefully that helped:) if u have any questons to be afraid to ask!
