I have prom in a month and I don't want to lose my tan after I get my tattoo.  Is there a possible way to simply cover it up while you're tanning?

You need to make sure that your tat is COMPLETELY healed before going....if it is, put the highest SPF you can find on it and bandage it with the non-stick gauze (curad works the best) and tape....Make sure it is completely covered so you don't lose the color...if it gets too hot or you can feel it burning, either put a towel over it or get out!!Good Luck!!

Because of the genetic nature of your skin it will see a tatoo as an invasion and it will do its best to erradicate it from the skin. The problem being that you wont have a great deal of your tatoo left to see because the keloids will take it away. Unfortunately this will happen on any area of your body ,so it is better to leave the tatooing alone , or go for transfers or try henna tatooing which can stay on the skin for a long time . They can actually be pretty cool .

Use the lotions they have now with a small amount of self tanner in them. In about two weeks you'll have a really nice, even, natural looking cancer free tan that won't age you one bit. I use them and they work great. I don't do the lying out in the sun thing anymore. I'd rather be white as ghost and still look 25 when I'm 45 than worship the sun and look like a raisin by the time I'm 35.

put on sun tan lotion that is about 5 spf.  it helps you get a deep tan, but not burn to easily.  If you are in a place nobody can see you, then tan in the nude.  Also, if you get wet every 10 seconds it will help you tan because water attracts sun.  You should stay out for about an 1 and 1/2 for the best tan.  good luck!

Stand up tanning booths give a more even tan because you are standing rather than having pressure points from an acrylic surface.  You also don't have an acrylic surface between you and the lamps.  You'll also tan the sides of your body.  Most lay-down style beds don't tan the sides well because there are no lamps there.  So, you will get a more even all-over tan in a stand up.  But, not all standups are equal.  Some are stronger or have more bulbs than another.  So, you need a combination of a standup combined with a high quality unit.  The more bulbs the better.  Just be sure to move around (put your arms up and then at your sides and then up again).  You want to move around to ensure you get UV all over.\n\nHot lotions increase circulation in the skin while tanning.  It's activated by the UV light/heat.  The increased circulation helps you tan more evenly and may help you get darker as well.  They are good when you reach your tanning plateau and you want to break through it.\n\nA hot bronzing lotion, like Shrine, is a hot lotion combined with a bronzing (self-tanning) complex.  So, it increases circulation and, at the same time, applies a self-tanner to help add color to your skin in addition to the tanning that your body does.  If you don't want to put a self-tanner on your body, then don't buy bronzing lotions.  You can buy plenty of non-bronzing hot lotions.\n\nBronzing lotions are sometimes sold in salons where the owner doesn't take care of the beds properly.  So, instead of getting the full UV from a bed, the owner chooses to use old bulbs and you get half the rays.  So, they attempt to make up for that by selling you a self-tanning lotion so you appear to get darker even though it had nothing to do with the bed.\n\nGood luck.

I have done it once it kinda turned me orange. When I sweat the day after it came off on a white shirt of mine. But I don't think I moisturized properly before or after. So make sure you moisturize especially on your knuckles and elbows, really any joints you have or else it will look discolored from the rest of the pigment on your body. I would wait 4-6 hours to shower.

it will take some time to get a nice tan. don't rush in there and bake for the 1/2 hr. they will put u on a chart for how long each time til ur skin is ready to be in there for the 1/2 hr. and i think its about the same danger as the sun. maybe a lil more but u won't have to be out in the sun all day when u can just lay in the bed and get one.

Depends on what kind of sunless tanning you're doing. If you decide to go the mystic tan route you will look a little orange the first time you go, but its a layered effect you need to go more than once for it to look real. Now if you are buying something at the store to put on your self, your best bet for something that looks real is the L'Oreal sunless tanner. That is the best thing to use. It doesn't look streaky or orange.\n\nBut if you're still worried about looking like an Umpa Loompa then just go natural. Embrace your own beauty. Red hair with fair skin are beautiful, look at Nicole Kidmon. Natural is always the best.\nGood luck!

Ive had that happen before.  Aloes is good- but ALWAYS make sure you shower right after tanning- b/c that rehydrates your skin and put lotion on right after the shower.  You can tan- but cover those bad boys up.  Especially because you dont want skin cancer.  the boobs are very sensitive to things like that- so be careful. either put a towel over them or hold them or wear your bra or bathing suit top.

There is lotion that will protect you from burn rays of the sun and thus help your tan get darker.  There are also self tanning lotions you can use indoors to get a fake tan.

I know you're not supposed to, but pop it and then put some toothpaste on it before bed. It probably won't be gone, but it will be better than whitish green! Dab on a little (emphasis on a little) concealer before your date. Have fun!!

You're mom is smart, tanning beds and laying out will ruin your skin.  You'll look great now, but pay later.\nI haven't tried the spray on tan, but there are some good sunless tanners out there.  I use Jergens Natural Glow.  It dries fast, covers evenly, and has a nice natural color to it.

Nudists work up a tan just like anyone else. Sunscreen, exposure and shade when their skin has had enough sun. But because they don't wear clothes unless nature or society outside their group requires it, nudists also get wind burned which helps keep their skin tanned so they can withstand more sun.\n\nThink about driving your car with your window down on a cloudy day. You are wearing a t-shirt and your arm is resting in the window. Even though the sun is hidden behind clouds you can still end up with your arm looking sun burned from exposure to the wind.\n\nThe combination of sun and wind can keep their skin tanned longer so they don't need as much protection as a non-nudist does.

Hi Aarti,\nYes there is a way to remove your tan instantly. You will need to purchase a Bleaching Cream which comes with an activator. Wash the areas well with soap and water and pat dry. Mix the Bleaching cream with the activator as directed and apply a bit thickly on the areas. Wait for about 30mins or as directed by the product. You should have lighter skin immediately. Keep using everyday till the tan goes away. \nHope this helps.\nTC\nLove\nAngel Doll
