Tanning Salon (Solariums)

[Salar]

Does anyone use them?
Last year i went in one for the first time and it was ok, nothing spectacular, i got a bit of 'me' time and got away from everything. But today i was pretty stressed out (plus someone i haven't seen in ages thought i was sick because i looked so pale) so i decided to go to a tanning salon. I got my 'me' time which was good, nobody could disturb me or do anything whilst i was getting a tan (it's the middle of winter here, so no sun at all)
surprisingly when i came out i was in such a good mood, i don't know why. It's as if my body really did needed sun. Mind you my lips are a bit... weird and my face is hot.

And to top it all off... i smell like coconuts... i just want to eat myself (that just doesn't sound right, but i'll just go with it)

I fear there is an increased risk of skin cancer. It's just not natural to be under such intense light & can't be healthy imo.

I've started. Want to get a bit of a tan before I go away.

Do you mean a sunbed? if yes i use them every now and then

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Been twice, dont see the need to go back.

yep, I use them cuz I'm very pale and real sun doesn't have any effect on my skin, I guess I should sunbathe for one whole year to notice a difference. So I prefer sunbeds, they are very relaxing and I smell like vanilla afterwards

 

[k69atie]

^ same as me, i am really pale, so i only go on to give me a bit of colour, they are relaxing, but they don'tmake you smell nice over here

lol, it's the skin I inherited from my grandma, it just doesn't tan In winter I look as if I were dead

 

[Salar]

nah i tan very quickly it seems. When i got home today my family look at me in a very weird way. Straight away they knew i went to a solarium (mum hates it).
During summers i go black (well not black black but very very olive) and in winters if i don't get anything i just go this pale olivy colour. But it seems that i haven't gottten ANY sun for ages since i tend to go out a nights, work or study during the day and rarely be outdoors during the time the suns out.

 

[Ghetto_Ghost]

absolutely never

lol, I have to go like 6 or 7 times till someone notices I look a less pale

but why does your mum hate it?

Nope dont really want a tan! Whats the point? You go brown, or in my case, go red, go threw a lot of pain, then peel! then go brown, then it fades pointless.

Plus the chances of skin cancer is there, and when your older you will have skin like a rhino!! No thanks!

 

[Preach]

i've done it a few times but it's a chick thing i think lol. i do it a few times a week for about a month before i go to somewhere where i'll get exposed to a brighter sun. i know what you mean about feeling good, i kinda do too lol.

 

[PuffnScruff]

nope cant say that i ever have. or ever would. i just dont want skin cancer.

 

[HitEmUpOutDaParK]

^me neither, though I'm sure there'll be some sort of cure for it by the time I have to worry about it. No need to waste time lying down to change my appearance anyways, I'll deal with what I've been given naturally

 

[S O F I]

No need, I tan during the summer. When winter comes, I go pale just like every other white person. Also, like rizzle says, it seems like too much of a chick thing. I don't want to get laughed at.

LO, yeah sun does have an effect on your happiness, therefor it's possible that u feel better afterwards. I myself don't use it and wouldn't spend time&money for it. I love the sun but I won't pay for it. Damn sun, come out and stop that damn rain.
