Tanning? only once~?
Even once increases your chance of getting skin cancer. 1 in 4 people will get skin cancer in their life times. Pretty scary huh?





In tanning beds the UV rays release Endorphins which seep into your body which makes you addicted to them. One time might not seem like much, but then you will want to go again and again and again. Don't go. I have fair skin but i use jergans and it makes me have a nice glow and it's not orangey or streaky.
Reply:Well going to a tanning bed once wouldnt give you much color, not enough to notice it anyway....I wouldnt recommend going at all.





Instead, try a sunless tanner.
Reply:take it off
Reply:dude, once is harmless. the person who works at the tanning place will no way let you go for that long.
Reply:Well, it wouldn't be an entirely isolated event because it will add to all over UV exposure in your life. It's not worth it.. don't do it.
Reply:DON'T TRY IT... if you even do one you will get addicted.. so DO NOT TRY IT!!!
Reply:I don't think you get skin cancer from going once. My sister goes all the time and her skin is fine. But, I'm not an expert.
Reply:ok... my mom owns a spa they do spray tans and it matches up with your skin tone and you cant get burned... i wouldnt suggest tanning beds my sister went and she was total burnt and then her doctor said not to do it again cuz it can ruin your skin... so i would go with spray tans from a salon/spa... and with spray tans you can go like 2 times a week... you dont put any make up or mostirizes on the day of the tan or the night before





i hope i helped =]
Reply:Tanning one time would not be worth the time or money. Tanning takes time to develop and if you end up going to a tanning salon, make sure to start out with a very short time 5-8 min especially if you go late in the day - the beds will be hot. Tan every other day for about 2 weeks and then increase your time 1-2 minutes every other session. Tanning beds can be very safe if done correctly and sensibly. If you turn pink, do not go back for at least 48 hours, and decrease your time a little. A good tanning salon will not let you overdo it due to the high cost of tanning salon insurance. Ask a lot of questions, and make sure you let the salon know if you are taking any photosensitive drugs as you can burn.





Good luck and do not be scared.
Reply:The tanning bed has a lot of IR and UVA rays those are bad or the skin so I recommend tanning lotions, aveeno has a good one that let you choose the level of tanning, and wont harm your skin
Reply:no you wouldnt only if you do it in the sun and do it sparingly because if tanning was deadly than hollywood would be gone. if you are that scared get a spray on tan!
Reply:You are not going to get cancer from one visit.


It is possible to burn just depends on your skin and the length of time you lay. I tan myself indoors and out it is your choice.





Take a look at the link. It's your choice in who and what you want to believe!
Reply:Using a tanning bed once is very harmless. Although I would have to admitt there very relaxing and you'll most likely get hooked (I did!) But using it more than a couple of times does put you at risk of developing skin cancer. I've been tanning since I was 14. And dont have it yet but whos to say I will develop it later in life. Plus you must check out the local tanning place find one that is very sanitary and trusty. And if they dont provide you with a baking timer bring one your self and set it! Good Luk my TANNING friend!!!
Reply:tanning only once won't tan you... burning happens from over expossure ( people in a hurry to tan) you should start at 5 minutes every other day (if you are fair skin and burn) after a week try it for 6 minutes every day.. if you tan easilly start at 6 minutes every day and gradualy work your way up every other day to keep the tan...(never tan more often than 24 hours)
