tanning bed the night before?

[hummerboy1]

Hello
I was looking for some opinions on whether or not you believe it is a good idea to hit the tanning bed the night before the show to help dry a person out?

I tried it last year at around 1am friday night for a saturday show. I ended up leaving a big brown sweat puddle of protan in the bed, but I'm not sure if it helped or not ( I can't remember)

When I hit the bed these days, I always come out of it dry and vascular, which makes me think it will help the night before. I am also trying taraxatone for the first time, starting around Wed morning for saturday morning show. Thank you so much for all the great info on this forum.

think about it for awhile....

You get out of the tanning bed and you look great. You've lost a lot of water from under neath your skin from sweating. You look awesome!!! You're hard and vascular, you've never looked better!

How long does it last? a half hour? an hour? two hours tops? Why?

Because your body likes things a certain way. It likes things "normal" It likes water under the skin. That's how it usually is. ... so to get back to normal it will then drive any water you do have within you back under the skin to be "normal" again.

Then what do you look like? puffy and soft.

Unless they have a tanning bed back stage you're out of luck.

Thanks for your reply, mm, but could you leave out the sarcasm next time?

for your sake MM, you better hope its not how he tries to pay back people that give him good advice!

He won't get any more (correct) advice from me anymore.

Most Muscular is right. Cease all tanning on Tuesday. Any trauma (burn) to the skin will aid in bringing water right up under the skin (subcutaneous) and instead of looking more cut and defined you'll appear flat. On Wed. you can begin your Pro Tan application.
