Do you ever go to a tanning place ?

[low-key]

sometimes, usually before a vacation . I did so today and ohhh, i need my back scratched, lol

 

[tvguy]

Twice. Made me red both times. Never again.

 

[Jingle]

About 5-10 times a year, before summer or vacations to warm places.

 

[Micca]

Nope. If I'm concerned about being pale, I'll just wear more clothing.

 

[hereyago]

Maybe twice, I burned my fat, lol.

 

[dotfurio]

Nah, I'm too worried. My dad and my bff have both had melanoma.

 

[nene0182]

In my younger days yes. Now I’m just lazy and cheap. I embrace my transparency

 

[kyton]

Tanning bed salons are illegal here in Australia so I have a spray tan probably once every 2yrs. My Dad has stage 4 melanoma- which although is not hereditary, our family is even more vigilant about sunscreen usage.

 

[easyas123]

When I was young, yes. I'm the odd redhead that tans. Then I started to have issues and next thing you know I've had several places removed and the inch and a half scars to p Rove it. Scared the shell out of me, now I wear sunscreen all year long and don't care how pale I look!

 

[dish rag]

Never made sense to me to do that.

 

[Disneylover99]

Never. I don’t tan. It’s not a good look for me.

 

[Meriweather]

nope......I tan easily and live in AZ, so tan most of the year

 

[Feralpeg]

No. I've had skin cancer removed four times. I'm done toasting myself.

 

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

Never.
I don't even like to be tan.
I prefer fair skin because I remind myself of Snow White.
Also my dad has had some skin cancer removed (he's a farmer).
And my niece got melanoma at age 5 after a "birth mark" turned into a mole and mutated into cancer.

 

[Happyinwonerland]

Nope. I'm fairly pale, so I use about a bottle of sunless tanner every week. It makes me look sun kissed without the skin cancer risk. And I always use sunscreen.

I did twice back in '05 because my sister, her family and a lot of family friends were all "doing" it for our April cruise. After 2 times of being sardined in one of those coffin looking things with very little on, very very scary in itself, I called it quits.

So......went on the cruise pretty much white as a ghost; sunscreened like nuts so I wouldn't risk being sunburned; and came back white as a ghost.

I used to. I would say 1. there is no such thing a too much lotion 2. make sure you ask if they're newer and/or turbo beds if so do a shorter session 3 I would do Day1:10mins Day2:no tan Day3:10min Day 4 no tan, Day 5: 15mins slowly like that never going over 25mins for lay down. If its stand up just do 5-7 mins per session, lave a day at least between sessions. Tingle lotions are not good for new tanners.

 

[LilyWDW]

Heck no. No reason to increase my risk of skin cancer.

I did, back in 1991 when I was 24. I LOVED it!! I did 10 sessions or whatever it was back then to get a bit tanned before vacation. When I was 30 I had melanoma removed from my lower leg. I was left with a massive scar and was lucky that I didn't need a skin graph. But, even if I didn't have the skin cancer, I can't imagine doing it nowadays.

That is SO scary!!! I hope she is doing well now.
