No it doesnt.. it just stops u from burning in the sun! The SPF numbers are how long you can stay in the sun without starting to burn... so in theory the higher the number the longer it will take to burn. U will tan regardless! x

There is no way to get a quick successful tan without the use of lotions. In tanning beds it takes your body 5-6 minutes to begin absorbing UV lights. Therefore in a 10 minute bed you are wasting more than half of your session. Tanning lotions provide moisturization (which is KEY) and help to accelerate, maximize and intensify your tan. However, if you are completely opposed to using a tanning lotion, use a moisturizer before you get into the beds. The moisturizer with plump and hydrate your pores making them more apt to quickly begin absorbing UV lights. I would reccomend Total Immersion by California Tan.

Accelerators, maximizers, and intensifiers are all sort of "generic" terms for tanning lotion.

These lotions generally have no bronzers. Accelerator is a term most used to describe a "beginner" tanning lotion, something to help start your tan. Do not be afraid of these words, it doesn't mean you will burn. They will help you tan. You should never tan without an indoor tanning lotion.

Maximizers and intersifiers are generally the "second step" tanning lotion for a more experienced tanner - HOWEVER - it DOES NOT mean you can't start out with these lotions.

The maximizer lotions have extras for the more experienced tanner such as Theraplexin, which increases the body's rate of DNA repair by up to 400% and produces a deeper darker tan for an extended period of time. This does not necessarily mean that a beginner can't use this lotion, but it does mean the lotion costs more.

Bronzer lotions enhance your tan with "extra color". Sometimes bronzers are just cosmetic color, the kind that will just wash off. Some bronzers are a derivitave of DHA which is a type of self-tanner. Some bronzers today have dual, triple and even quadruple bronzers. Designer

Skin makes awesome "low maintenance" bronzers that will not streak or stain or turn a funky color.

When you sunbathe, you are lying out for the sun's harmful UV rays to hit and tan your skin. This is dangerous because these UV rays can damage skin by burning it, making it age / wrinkle faster, and have highly been linked to skin cancers.

The perfect temperature for sunbathing is 28-29 degrees Celsius

no you can not because when we are born using common sense we can only eat sleep and pooping in fact you can get a suntan by using cream and rest in the heat .Which causes a good old fashioned suntan.

Actually i have. It makes you tan faster but it does burn you a little more the first time you do it:)

Not unless a service has actually been performed like a Spray Tan because otherwise it would just be like going to a fast food restaurant, pay for the tan at the counter and proceed to the tanning booths.

For a long time, the only way you could tan at a tanning studio was in a tanning bed, which is primarily UVA light. Research has shown tanning bed exposure to be linked to cancer.

You can also get a spray tan at some tanning studios now. A spray tan is a good alternative for two reasons: less link to cancer and shorter time spent in achieving a tan.

While tanning at a tanning studio is not terribly expensive, one can also save money by skipping the tanning studio altogether and purchasing over the counter tanning lotions. But beware - if applied improperly you may end up looking a bit too much like George Harrison.

Use 1/2 oz of MelaPower plus 1/2 oz of MelaBright and spray the spot with Mela PreSpot. Email me if you want to know how to get these awesome products.

Excessive use of tanning booths as well as prolonged exposure to the sun has been shown to induce premature ageing in peoples skin.

LOL, no, not unless you are shaving the skin clean off your face along with the whiskers. You should probably stop before you get that deep! Phil

Purposely tanning is never a good idea--it increases the risk of skin cancer, prematurely ages skin, and can cause painful burns. Sunblock should be worn whenever your skin is exposed to the sun for long periods of time.

If you insist on tanning, it's probably better to wait until 6 weeks, when your hormone levels have all returned to normal. This decreases the risk of melasma, dark patchy staining of the face

Yes, iodine, which is known to be used in spray on tanning (as well as home spray and creams).

It has been found that iodine used for certain hospital xrays is causing kidney failure.

I have been using Mystic Tan for the past 2 1/2 years and have developed severe kidney failure. BEWARE!

Tanning Pills normally contain an ingredient call L-Tyrosine. This ingredient helps increase melanin production. The more melanin that is created...the more it will rise to the surface of your skin. In basic terms...UV Light will cause the melanin to react, darken & spread out on the skin. Thus a tan is created.

The body naturally produces melanin...but kick starting the production using a tanning pill will work. Note: This same ingredient is also in almost all indoor tanning accelerators that are available for purchase when visiting a tanning salon. Whether applied topically or ingested, it basically works the same.

Having a base tan is considered slightly protective because a base tan provides you with sun protection comparable to an SPF 4. Without a base tan you are more likely to burn or damage your skin when exposed to sunlight.

Yes, but you should wait until after your initial shower from your spray tan appointment. You should also keep in mind that spray tanning is not a sun protectant and you will tan/burn just as you would before the spray tan.

If you get a doctor's note you are able to tan, it is advised that you tan in a stand up bed instead of laying on your back, it could cause harm to the baby.

No you have to be 16 to tan in a salon, therefore they don't hire under that age.

I will use/apply a "progressive sunscreen" that reaches a top protection value depending of the exposure. The more sun received, the quicker protection developed. In that way, the different parts of the body, that receive the sun with different proportion and intensity, will equal the amount that reaches the skin and therefore the final suntan of the whole body will be even.

There are several patents ongoing and hope the product will reach the market soon.

Spray tanning has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. The major advantage that I would say is there is no chance of getting burnt and as far as anyone knows, no chance of getting cancer.
