I have never tanned before (other then the old fashion way, in the sun) and we have free tanning at my club. I am natually pale (half Irish, half Polish) and I like the pale look, but would like to get a little color just to even out my skin. I am actually a bit afraid of tanning (UV damage and cancer and all that) and don't plan on doing it often or getting really dark, but like I said, I would like to just pop in to smooth out my skin tone and maybe from there, start using a self-tanning lotion. I was just wondering if there is anything I have ot do before I tan? Any lotions, sunblock, etc? I would assume not because girls tans before their shifts and obviously you can't wear any lotion. Also was wondering about burning and how long to stay in to get different levels of tan...? This is such a foreign thing to me! Also, can it damage you eyes? What do you do when you're in there? Just stand and wait? Close your eyes?

You can buy the goggles, and it really is necessary because that many harsh rays can do extreme damage to the eye even with your eyes closed. The goggles are only a few bucks at a beauty supply store. Invest in some. Start at a low level and work your way up, be sure to moisturize.
