I got tan this summer.......... 3 days ago

Started buying a tanning package…..then went to Hawaii….laid out during the summer. Looked good but won’t tan so much in the future. Getting older and need to take care of my skin. Luckily I have olive skin so I tan well.

Yesterday was pretty sunny, so i put on my spf10 sunscreen and tanning lotion and lay out on my deck, half an hour each side, no burn and a definate improvement in colour, have to keep finding time to do this

I am very pale naturally, when I lived in europe I got a nice healthy tan, but here in NZ I just burn and freckle (ick!) – coz we have no ozone layer. I would like to work this summer on safetly developing a healthy tan again as I feel I look much better with one! Any tips or advice would be great

I really want to do this... 1 month ago

...mostly because it would be one of the easiest goals to knock off my list in a hurry. Also, I really enjoy the experience of tanning, bad for me as it is. I always feel relaxed and upbeat after lying in a UV bed. On top of that, I have to admit that I feel better about myself with a tan. I’ve been pale, pale, pale for over 3 years. And I’m bummed out by it.

I figure if I go regularly this time, then I can be tan by the first couple weeks of November. I’d like to get some color in time for Halloween though, so that I can feel confident in my get-up. :)

Getting a base gradually 2 months ago

Going tanning again today. The intense dose of UV and vitamin D, combined with the warmth from the bed, seem to work like an anti-depressant for me. (Not that I advocate using a tanning bed… they’re still really bad for you. It’s a guilty pleasure.)

Today will be the first day I can go in the bed for the full time. Should start seeing some color soon! :)

I'll be tan soon! 2 months ago

I will make time to tan today. :) If I keep going through the end of the month, I should definitely see some color soon.

Oh no =/ 4 months ago

Unsettled weather here in Germany, so for now it’s not really fun to lay in the garden…
I want to have a tan! Hope it gets better soon =/
