I went to the tanning bed yesterday for the first time this year. I stayed 15 minutes. BIG MISTAKE. I am SOOO burnt! I have never been this burnt from a tanning bed... the backs of my legs, arms, back...etc are soooo red! My face is the worst though...I even burnt my eyelids...i forgot to wear the goggle things... Anyways, I put some of that blue aloe gel stuff on last night, and it took away the redness a little on my arms and legs, but the burn is still so SORE...Its my own fault! I have to have a tan though... I am one of the people that looks much better with a tan than without LOL

Is it just me or do tanning bed burns hurt worse than SUNburns???

OMG, I have to tell you guys about this-- one of my husbands friends has been going to this place where they charge 12 dollars to spray paint a tan on you--- its supposed to be very natural looking, not orange, and doesn't streak. The only problem is they say chlorine can streak it. Have any of you done this? Would you try it?

I explained what the spray paint tan is like in a comment below

Date: 3/8/2002 10:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 14572    I get burned all the time when I go... I stopped going for alomst a year, but then I figured I would start up again, I burned horribly the first 2 times, now I am looking pretty tan though...Even though I have lost 2 layers of skin over it ...lol   
Date: 3/8/2002 10:15:00 AM  From Authorid: 25438    Not if chlorine streaks it....how often do you need a tan when you are not going to be in any kind of pool. I swim ALL THE TIME in the summer..I guess it would be o.k. in the spring or something?? OH and get aloe vera for your sunburn...its great on tanning bed sunburns1  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 47930    just a lil tip when you go in ask if they are new bulb b/c that is why you are so burnt. never use the new bulbs first or you can get really bad burnt i know alot about tanning beds so if you ever need some informatiop please feel free to ask me....hugs....  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 16845    I don't do the suntanning I burn way too easy....besides I've got the red *Technically strawberryblonde* hair so I wouldn't look good with a major tan anyway LOL  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:18:00 AM  From Authorid: 48206    i didnt know tanning beds could burn, that's how much i know about them! lol  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:19:00 AM  From Authorid: 10915    Well I don't need a tan. I am brown enough and get darker during the summer. LOL. No, never heard of painted on tan before and tanning beds, hmmm. Are those things safe? I have heard that the radiation of the UV rays give cancer.  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:23:00 AM  From Authorid: 24856    Ewwwwwwwww, Ouch. I quit the tanning several years ago. The damage to my skin is not good. I have moles that did not exist before, so I stopped tanning.  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:26:00 AM  From Authorid: 16442    Yeah, they have come alomg way with the tan in a can stuff. I don't use it because I am known for being pale but I know people that use some of the better over the counter ones and they look natural!!  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:26:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 9130    Blue Knight-- I'm using aloe vera gel... I think it may be helping a little...  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:26:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 9130    Girlie-- Lucky you! LOL  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:28:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 9130    Let me explain about the spray on tan... You go into a room, get undressed, you put some kinda creame over your fingernails and toenails... then you stand on this little thing and all these nozels point at you... they spray on like three layers of stuff, i think it only takes about 45 seconds, then you towel off put back on your clothes and leave. It doesn't stain your clothes or hair... your not supposed to take a shower for four hours afterwards though...  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 10915    LOL! Just stating my thoughts. Go Tan go!!!! LOL  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:30:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    Lady BCAR (AKA my trainer) uses the spray tan in a bottle, I forget what brand. Just spray it on and rub it in. I've never seen chlorine streak it, or I certainly would have made fun of her (and gotten in big trouble). Try Noxema on the burn.  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:32:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 9130    Becky-- I typically tan easy and don't burn often... they MUST have had new bulbs and just didn't tell me...if you are pale skinned you ought to try the spray tan thing... it is supposed to look natural for anyone even if you have REALLY pale skin... or so they say! LOL  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 15997    This was ur first time tanning in a year and u went 15 minutes?????? Are you crazy??? LOL...u should have started out at 10 or 12. u even forgot to wear those goggles...dont u know u can do some major damage to ur eyes???? what kind of tanning place did u go to that they would even allow u to go in for 15 minutes without asking you when was the last time u tanned and without goggles???? the people who run that place should get in trouble...i work at a tanning place and we are very strict about tanning. sorry u got that burnt but i have to say its not entirely ur fault...the people running that place need to do a better job. Try putting some Noxzema on ur burns...it works. *HUGS*  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:35:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 9130    looneygirl-- you said on my post last night that you work at a fast food resturaunt.  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:36:00 AM  From Authorid: 16845    LOL @ Bcar....  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:37:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 9130    looney girl i did ask her she said to try 12 or 15 minutes and i could turn it off sooner if I wanted to... as for the goggles, I know VERY few people that even wear them... I usully get the little foil sricky things that you can stick on your eyelids but I forgot about it...  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:38:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 9130    BCAR-- yeah, I know Noxemas supposed to be good... i'll have to buy some...  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:40:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 9130    Kathy-- the loss of skins worth it though isn't it... all for the sake of looking tan...LOL  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:40:00 AM  From Authorid: 50405    OWOWOWOWOW!!!! It hurts when you get burned! I got a big puss bubble on my back from just laying in the sun at the beach and I was wearing sun blcok. It really hurt..so I guess you didnt get burned more seriously
Love,**Frony**
Date: 3/8/2002 10:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 18527    I swear by Noxema for burns... they also sell this methol lotion in a bottle that's really nice  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 14572    Yes, the tan looks good, but I miss the missing skin...LOL   
Date: 3/8/2002 10:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    I burn if I even LOOK at the sun. I'm scared to death to go into a tanning bed for fear that I may turn into a permanent lobster. I have actually heard of that spray paint tan before and I've heard that it does look natural also. But I've never seen it on anyone. I tried that banana boat sunless tan stuff last year. But a word of advice.....when you go to sleep, HIDE IT FROM YOUR COUSINS. They may get the glorious idea to make you look like a spotted leopard in the morning.....  
Date: 3/8/2002 10:53:00 AM  From Authorid: 18870    awww Big Mistake...I go but I always start out at 5 minutes for the first few times and work my way up...I hope it feels better soon, I found that if you put the gell in the fridge and get it cold, it feels much better on the skin... *huggles n love*  
Date: 3/8/2002 11:00:00 AM  From Authorid: 28848    I have just stated tanning this season and the first time I went I only layed for ten minutes and was burned worse than I have ever been burned. My suggestions for you would be to constantly move around in the tanning bed and use your eye goggles. If you move around more, you're less likely to get burned. I hope you feel better.  
Date: 3/8/2002 11:02:00 AM  From Authorid: 28848    Oh and the spray on tan...YUCK! LoL!  
Date: 3/8/2002 11:03:00 AM  From Authorid: 30621    I loved the tan I use to get from the Texas sun. But I have learned to enjoy my tanning bed now that I live up north. But yes a tanning bed burn dose hurt more. The price we pay for beauty!!!!  
Date: 3/8/2002 11:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 15997    Dizzy i said that i used to work at a fast food place...i dont anymore and i havent for over a year. sorry maybe i typed something wrong, but i work at a tanning and video store now.  
Date: 3/8/2002 12:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 18527    I've always wanted to do the bed thing to get an all over tan... I hate having those 3 white spots (under the bikini if you get what I mean)  
Date: 3/8/2002 12:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 8184    Ouch! Sorry about what happened to ya Dizzy!  
Date: 3/8/2002 1:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 49041    I suggest bronzing creams, they give an even tone if applied right. Good luck!!
Date: 3/8/2002 7:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 48689    It totally ruins your skin. It leaves splotches on you!
