    I don't chase money. Money chases me.

    I use "Fake Bake" so maybe once a week or once every two weeks.

    I don't go to tanning beds..... they're horrible for your skin. Plus, I live in Florida and there's free sunshine outside. Why pay for what you can get for free?

    I go to the beach maybe once or twice a week (and wear spf) and then occasionally use a self-tanner if i look a little pale

    I live in Fl too...but esp. during hurricane season(aka ..now) it ALWAYS seems to rain whenever I have time to lay out!

    I go to a tanning salon...I tan about 1-2x a week

    I'd use self tanner or fake bake...but i am allergic. And I look sickly when i'm pale

    Maybe once or twice every month or so. I use self-tanners more often, but when I wanna be super dark, I'll hit a stand-up then go home and self tan. Always have SPF on my face and chest and prefer to tan outdoors than a tanning bed.

    I never tan in beds or outdoors. In fact I always have to wear clothes that cover as much skin as possible because I am hypersensitive to the sun. I don't use tan lotion because it makes my skin look yellow or orange, not tan.

    Hm, I thought the question was for those that tanned? lol, anyways..

    Last week I only tanned once , but normally I tan 3-4 times a week. I'm addicted, it's the only time I get ten minutes to myself!

    Oh yeah..I do not tan my face. I wrap a towel around my head when i tan and use SPF outdoors. Skin on the face shows sun damage quicker so I'd rather just match my face to my body with makeup and bronzer.

    VeganAvery, I hope you're mentally prepared for a Portland winter!

    Oh ya, I don't tan. I would like too, but I'm scared of the beds.

    Twice a week right now..I'm a natural redhead, so its kinda hard to get a tan, but I'm trying! I probably don't count for this thread though, I'm only up to 15 minutes... I have mixed feelings though, I enjoy tanning, the heat, the solitude (for my teeny few minutes) but I hate the idea of damaging my skin. Oh well, guess we can't have it both ways.

    ^^ UP to 15 minutes?? The max time in my salon is 10 minutes for stand up and 15 for lay down. I do the stand up now for 10, but it took me months to build up to that. How long is the max in your salon??

    Same, 20 is our max. Although theres some big mega ultra stand up has too many bulbs to count bed where the max is 10 or 15, I wouldnt know, never used it..that thing scares me...

    I go 1-3 times per week depending on how busy I am. I retain a tan ridiculously well so I am a tanaholic this time of year. I hit the beds May-August then I stop for the rest of the year. Been doing this for at least five years. I don't tan my face, either- just throw a towel over it and use a gradual self tanner daily.

    Max time on basic beds at my tanning salon is 20 minutes, "VIP" beds 15, and "Platinum" (high pressure) is 12. I rotate between the three types of beds and honestly, I HATE doing the Basic... it really does help to get me darker, but I always expierience a slight burn with my first basic bed session.

    Can I just say, I LOVE the new tanning salon I've found! They have this thing called the "hydration station" and it rocks!!! It's basically this pod shaped thing you lie down in and it gives you a full body, 20 minute mineral steam bath with light & aroma therapy- it's soooo relaxing... they say if you do it before you tan it deepens your color up to 40%. I put it to the Pepsi challenge and I was impressed. Although your head isn't in the pod, you get a little steam on your face so I like to put on a mud mask on before I jump in it so it's like a psuedo facial, too.

    I go once or twice a week and only high pressure ( less burning rays ) and I never tan my face! I wear SPF 50 when I am laying out and always moisturize.

    Yup, that's the name!



    There's a video... it's long and cheesy, but it gives you a decent amount of info. Apparently, it's great for sunless tanning, too.

    I try to stay completely out of the sun AND tanning beds. I use the sunless stuff about once a week, although it is a pain in the butt to maintain, it's much better for you.

    I used to tan 1-3x a week for about 1.5 years until I started esthetician school and found out that because of tanning, I have the skin of a 35 year old, and I'm only 23. My skin wasn't thick and had a lot of hyperpigmentation.

    I try to tan every other day. Though its been over a week since i've gone I look horrid pale and the fake bake makes my skin look yellow.. and when I do a shower show it makes my skin look streaky and its just nasty, plus it rubs off on everything. I love the tanning beds.. sooooooooooooooo relaxing.

    When I have a tan, I go about twice, maybe three times a week. But I don't always have one. I also use fake tanner.

    I worry a little about destroying my skin, but I confess it's low on my list of life worries. I don't plan to dance for very much longer, and when I don't dance, I don't bother tanning. I just don't make as much money when I am pale, so that's that.
