I really want to start tanning, like in a tanning bed. I don't want to do spray tans or tanning lotions, I've tried a lot of them and I just never can maintain a good color. ANYWAYS, I was wondering if you ladies had any tanning tips or safety advice on how to keep from getting burned. Also if you have any tanning lotion accelerator faves, I'd like to hear feedback on them!

-ALWAYS use tanning lotion! If I don't use lotion I fry in there lol
-make sure you move around in the tanning bed, if you just lay there with your arms to your sides then your sides won't get tanned
-rotate the tanning lotions you use because your body gets used to them after a while (my favorite lotion is Pink and Proper)
-don't shower right after you tan because the tanning lotion needs some time to take full effect, so wait a good few hours until you shower

What brand is that lotion? Also, how often do you tan? I'm pretty pale currently.

It's Swedish Beauty Pink and Proper. It works really well I definitely recommend it! I used to be super pale too (you can tell by my pics lol) and I've been going like every other day for the past month and now I'm much darker all my old foundation looks practically white on me!

How long do you tan each time?

I started out at 7 minutes and gradually go up every few weeks, so I'm currently at 9 minutes. If you have very pale or very sensitive skin I would recommend starting out even lower, at maybe 6 or even 5 minutes and gradually go up.

And don't tan twice in a 24 hour period, make sure there's a whole 24 hours in between tanning sessions. Don't want you to get burnt. 😊
