No, you're just laying there. If you want to burn calories you have to be active. The best activities to burn calories: running, raquetball, uphill cycling, swimming and anything that vigorously uses the large muscle groups.

Nope.

They just burn your skin and make you look a lot older very quick = ). It's really quite simple.

The answer is YES, you burn approximately 53 calories per hour while resting. As for the increased aging process while tanning, I have tanned for well over 25 years & I have silky skin like a baby. Everyone guesses me to be 5 - 10 years younger than I am. The reasons? I have always used very good tanning lotions that are made specifically for indoor tanning (most have anti-aging & special skin emollients for the indoor tanning process & honestly aide in excellent skin care.

After tanning you should use a good liquid shower soap like Bath & Body Works brand, then lotion down your entire body with a good lotion after showering. Bath & Body Works or one of the after tan lotions like Kiss or Angel. If you prefer an unscented lotion try C.O. Bigalow also sold @ Bath & Body Works. C.O. Bigalow is made by Apothecaries that have been in this business since the 1800's & is a top of the line lotion but is priced reasonable. You should also use a good facial cleanser & lotion, I have sensitive skin & L'Oreal products are reasonably priced & excellent for your skin in aiding with moisture & anti-aging.

I used to be a beauty consultant & I know what's good for your skin. You also need the Vitamin D from the sun for good health & also aides in battling depression. Tanning beds also provide this. Yes, with over exposure it is not healthy for anyone. I tan approximately 1-2 times a week, more if I have a special occasion to attend. Sometimes more, sometimes less. You can go 4-6 weeks without tanning & with good skin care; not completely lose your tan & with 2 - 20 minute sessions you can regain most or all of the tan you lost, but you gave your skin a break which is important. Everything has its pros & cons but tanning is good for you as long as you are aware of the safe limits & you take good care of your skin & body.

Beauty starts from the inside so eat healthy, drink a lot of liquids & use a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement & you're good to go. You'll find your immune system improving, your skin & hair to be in better condition & your emotional/mental well being has improved. Family Genes do play a role as well but not as much as you might expect as long as you take good of yourself.

  • To tan means to make brown by exposure to the sun. This doesn't burn calories.
  • However, the informal meaning of tan is to beat. This activity can burn calories.
  • You may burn calories through practicing Sauna (wet sauna or dry sauna) or of course by practicing sports and/or walking/running

No it will not burn any calories. No more than you would burn laying around anywhere.

No. Tanning oil only absorbs as far as the fat layer in the skin. It doesn't absorb into the blood stream.
