don't use tanning lotion the first time..and only go in for like 10 min. then if you can stay in that long with out burning..you can use lotion. also only go like every other day..ppl who go everyday are asking for cancer. and you should try the hemp-ology lotion it works really well...gives you a nice realistic looking tan :)

I used to work in a tanning salon for four years. You are trying to get a tan way too fast. You must gradually get a tan. Right now you are sunburned which means your body is going to get rid of all those cells you just killed and all the tanning you've done has been for nothing. Buy a tanning lotion that is meant for use in the tanning bed. One that you use outside is NOT recommended. It can ruin the acrylic on the tanning bed. If you can afford a tanning bed lotion, as they can be quite spendy ranging from $15 for the cheap stuff, (where you might as well just use a moisturizer), and up to $45 for the awesome stuff. Back to your problem... you itch because your skin is dried-out. You need to give your skin a break and go back to the beginning. When you start tanning again start with going half of the maximum time allowed in the bed OR LESS. If you burn the first time go less time the next time. If you didn't get ANY color don't go anymore than 2-3 minutes more than the last time. You really must gradually work on your tan in a tanning bed go get the best tan for your money. BTW, if you decide to go for that lotion I recommend something with a bronzer and without the hot stuff... your tanning salon should know what I'm talking about. ALSO... if you have very pale skin and have never been able tan outdoors you will not be able to get tan in a tanning bed and is not recommended that you try to do so. Also, always use those tanning eye covers... you can do severe damage to your eyes without doing so, and over time at the very least you can get uncorrectable night vision problems.

try cocoa butter cream at night-it's a little greasy feeling-but it is definitely one of the best that i have tried- have you changed your face cleaning regimen?  are do you tan in a tanning bed?  even though you have to wear the funny goggles don't think that the sensitive skin around your eyes aren't exposed.  if using a different cleanser, it may be to harsh.  you can also try the Avon Anew eye moisturizer and line diminish, it comes in a tube and I love it!  I always have an extra on hand

hmmm. It sounds like an allergic reaction to UV rays, meaning photo-sensitivity. I'm mildly photosensitive and I get the same kind of rash if I go out with out the SPF50 sunscreen than my doctor recommended. Give up on tanning and talk to your doctor. It sounds like you're photosensitive.

Everything must be done in moderation.  If you lay out in the sun too long and get serious UV burns you are just as prone as if you stay in too long or excessively use a tanning bed.  Since the UV bombardment of a tanning bed is a conscious decision one would think that it would be less prone to abuse.  Sometimes when you are outdoors it is easy to not realize you are getting burned.

You might try seeing a regular dermatologist.  I had a series of procedures like this in a clinical setting by my dermatologist to treat a skin condition.  \n\nAfter all, UV treatment is what you get at the tanning booth, so its not that special.\n\nYour link doesn't work.

everyone tans differently hon. It depends on your skin type. I can tan fairly fast and get very dark. Just don't get inpatient and stay out too long and burn. Have a good summer.

I shelled out the money and did a few sets of mystic tanner.  Since it is topical and works more as a covering and doesn't actually make your pigments change, it hide (but did not totally cover) my spots.\n\nThe doctor gave me a active sulfur cream.  It was horrible and black and smelled and you have to leave it on for 20 minutes 2x daily, but mine went away in about a month, which is a lot better than the several months that website says.

There are several methods for tanning rabbit and rabbit is actually quite easy to tan.  As for a method that uses battery acid, I am unfamiliar with it.  I'll look through some of my literature and will post more about it if I find something pertaining to battery acid.  If you are interested in other methods of tanning, you can post further questions and I'll try to help.

NO! As someone who has SAD, I can tell you from experience, research, and conversations with professionals that tanning does not count as using full-spectrum light. If you are looking the "look-better, feel-better" route, go for it. If you are looking for light therapy, check into an actual full-spectrum lamp.

Good old fashioned Eucerin.  Not the stuff with alpha hydroxy acid.  Look for the tub.  It has the consistency of crisco.  Slather up baby.  Then it wouldn't hurt to hit the tanning bed once or twice a week.  It really does help

There are certain things about your situation you didn't mention, like what is the natural ethnicity of your skin colour. Its cold hearted to suggest asking Michael Jackson, who has never darkened his skin and remains a mystery how it was lightened in the first place (he claims to have vitiligo which looks much different than what he is suggesting). You are obviously troubled by this. Tanning, if your skin has the ability now, is unsafe as there is risk of skin cancer developing. See a hair dresser about hair colour and see a doctor about your skin condition. I wouldn't take a pill that claims to alter hair colour. Hydroquinone is not available in some countries due to cancer risk factors.

Tanning bed and I think I need to start going back.

I know what you are going through, I also have that problem.  It's called hyperhidrosis.  I use a roll on liquid that dries your skin out.  Ask a dermitologist what you could do, there are a few different options.
