How long should a person tan in a tanning bed?!


Question:

Answers:
tanning beds aren't good for anyone but if you must go only start at 5-7 min then increase by 3-5 minutes after your 1st visit but the maxim in you should ever stay is 20min even if there is a timer for longer also new studies show that a tanning bed is worse for you then the sun

Other Answers:
Not very long. Tanning beds are bad for health. Use an ointment/lotion or something else instead.

Don't tan in a tanning bed, not only are you getting ten times the radiation but they tend to change your DNA. If you must tan get in the sun.

never. i don't know how old you are, but, teen/young adults skin cancer has risen 20 %. Yea, it's that bad. Try not to tan, period. If you must, do it naturally, and only a little.

I DONT RECOMEND TANNING BEDS NOT ONLY ARE U EXPOSING YOUR SELF TO STRONGER ULROVILET RAYS YOU ARE ALSO PUTTING YOUR SELF IN A SITUATION TO CONTACT OTHER DESEASES ETC YOU DONT KNOW IF THE PERSON WHO TANNE DIN THAT BED BEFORE U HAD CRABS OR SCABIES ETC . THE OTHER THING U R ALSO PUTTING YOUR SELF AT RISK FOR SKIN CANCER JUST LIKE REGULAR TANNING IN SUN WOULD DO IF U FEEL THAT U HAVE TO HAVE THAT GOLDEN TAN TRY GOING TO A PLACE WHERE THEY HAVE THOSE TANNING SPRAY BOOTHS ITS ALOT SAFER IN THE LONG RUN , BUT NO MATTER HOW FAIR OR DARK COMPLECTION YOU ARE U STILL NEED SO MANY MINUTES IN THE DAY IN THE SUN FOR VITAMIN D
