Tanning

**AmonRA** · 04-26-2003, 05:00 PM

So how do you BBs get your tan? I try to take extra long runs outside or play soccer when sunny. Anyone have a good method besides going to the tanning beds?

3 days a week, just hang at the beach all day. Brink lotion, water, food, ball or frisbee, girls, dope, money. Bring everything and set up camp there for the day.

I live 200 miles away from the nearest thing you can call a beach. And the outdoor pools here are closed until mid May.

they can leave you orange if you use products not for your skintone or is just a plain crappy product. My tan looks great i only have to re-apply 2 times a week. Dont wanna damage my skin in the sun or on the beds.

**AmonRA** · 04-26-2003, 06:51 PM

lol if you don't apply evenly, don't you get spots on your skin that are darker than others? I dont have a gf currently so I can't reach everywhere

**hardknuckle** · 04-26-2003, 07:31 PM

Get some good sunless lotion, don't buy the Neutrogen 10 dollar ****. Buy some real good lotion, exfoliate before applying.

Well, it's not exactly the safest/healtiest thing to do. You need to weigh the risks and figure out if the risk of skin cancer (and the other, more cosmetic, side effects of sunworship) is more than the benefits of getting a tan.

**sup_builder** · 04-26-2003, 11:11 PM

What is "tanning" anyway? Just making your skin look a little "brown" and shiny?

**loverman** · 04-26-2003, 11:14 PM

its making your skin darker

**jay81** · 04-26-2003, 11:57 PM

Well, it's recommended by doctors you get at least a good 10 minutes of sunshine a day for your health so there's nothing unhealthy about it. Just stick to times outside the middle of the day during the times of year the sun is particularly strong. I would avoid tanning beds though as they are potentially very harmful, much much higher concentrations of the uv lights that cause cancer.

Pretty sure that's for the vitamin D, which you probably get in your diet anyways.

Yup for vitamin d, although you'd have to drink quite a bit of milk ( all milk in western countries is fortified with vitamind d ) to get the adequate daily amount. There's really not many other foods / drinks really that contain significant amounts of it. A bit of sunshine is good for you anyway.

tanning salon and outside get pretty dark

**stone fox** · 04-27-2003, 04:05 AM

i dunno about the histeria surrounding tanning beds. ive never actually heard of ppl getting skin cancer from them just ppl saying you will.

i mean im sure youd have to seriously over do it for it to have any potential to do any harm. 6-7 minutes twice a week couldnt be too bad...if something like that was enough to put you in danger tanning salons would be illegal.imo

The concentrations of certain types of uv light is enormously higher than in normal sunlight, in just minutes on the tanning bed you get the same amount of bad radiation you would from an entire day ( morning - evening ) on the beach, it's worse again because it's so concentrated in such a short time period. Health authorities everywhere warn against using them ... so do so at your own risk.

Tanning beds used to be more dangerous than they are now. They pretty much only produce the good lights now, unless you stumble across a bad place. Peace

**andy1** · 04-27-2003, 07:52 AM

what are some good companies that make sunless tanning products?

**McButterPants** · 04-27-2003, 07:53 AM

Check the webpage that EAE put up, it helped me out. Peace

**hardknuckle** · 04-27-2003, 09:31 AM

Yeah, some people have to stop being pussy's. The tanning industry is growing like crazy, I'm sure people are going to make sure it's a safe procedure. Aside from cigarettes, I don't know of anything, that's been proven to be dangerous and has remained on the market. You guys don't need to worry about skin cancer, if it were a serious risk, indoor taning would be prohibited.

I think I'll pass. There's lots of things on the market that aren't too good for you besides just cigarettes.

**rattlesnake316** · 04-27-2003, 12:54 PM

i just go to da beach, go for a swim, and dry off in the sun. It works for me.

If you get bored, just bring some booze and go on bikini patrol. time will fly by then.
