AT the BEACH? BACKYARD OR TANNING SALON? Is it HEALTHY?

I've got a permatan

i tried going to a tanning salon a couple of times and i hated it. i'll never go back. i can deal with incidental tans, like when i go outside and run around a lot in the summer. i don't mind being pale, though.

you got jokes today I see....hahaha

tanning will wrinkle and age your skin, although it looks sexy in the short run. I saw this documentary called "something about mary" that presented the scientific findings of too much tanning.

I don't tan. I freckle and burn. I burn if I'm in direct sunlight for 15 minutes without sunblock. And I don't like the way it looks on me either. I prefer being pale.

You never asked.

CarrieMpls said:

That explains a lot.

Novabreaker said:

absolutely not. complete waste of time and it prematurely ages your skin.

People are doing the SPRAY TANS.... I also like the JERGINS for your face or the SUNLESS TANS.You can use TERRACOTTA BY GUERLAIN or NYC TAN... I like that stuff with FLUFFY BRUSHES. DIOR also makes a GREAT SUNLESS TANNING PRODUCT.

I do tan I go red for about half an hour and then i go golden thought have to be careful- the Australian sun is not good for the skin!! I like fake tans- they are great for when you don't get to go out in the sun. I work in retail and some times i have more hours indoors during summer than outdoors- though this summer my intentions will be quite the contrary to this factor!! Stuff it. I'm goin-a-galavantingz!!

I choose not to tan. I am trying not to get any skin cancers.

Metal and sun don't go together.

YES! No it is not healthy for your skin but that doesn't stop me from hitting the tanning booth once or twice a week.

i did it quite a bit this year for the most part, i enjoyed it .... i tanned most everyday this past summer as well, got pretty damn dark i miss my tan....

pippet said:

hi sweetie

i NEED to get that picture dont i ?????




i will make the effort again to get that this week, i promise

miss ya

i would say no normally - i don't want skin cancer
and then i was only going to be cutting the grass for a little while this summer

When I lived in Santa Cruz and was five minutes from the beach, I would load on the sunscreen and go lay out on the sand or on my deck. I look much better tan - healthier and stuff. I can also pull off the light hair. Now that it's November and my tan is gone, I've changed to dark hair. I might have to do the Mystic Tanning shit when I move to London. But I burn very easily and have naturally fair skin so I have to be extra careful.

Novabreaker and Carrie, I'd like to marry you both.

I lost my brother to melanoma, so I'm pretty cautious about sun exposure. I spent my youth in the sun with a glowing tan, but now I'm pasty white and perfectly ok with it.
