Anyone use sunbeds? ;x

Well i went on for the first time in about 6 months yesterday, I was used to 100 watters for like 6 mins at a time back then and they got this new place in my town so i checked it out.
She suggested i use the 200w sunbed for 10 mins since it was my first time in a while so i did and now im completely ill :/
My skin feels cold all the time and i keep getting tired so im sleeping in the afternoon etc..
Has anyone had the same scenario? If so how long do the crap effects last?

 

I never use sunbeds, but my girlfriend works in a tanning salon so, from the little you just said, my advice is don't return there. They didn't make a very good recommendation on what to use. The girl should have most likely recommended 2-3 minutes on a 200 watter. Probably 2, since it's been 6 months since the last time you tanned. Then you should have worked your way up to something more standard, like 5 or 6...

But I'm more or less guessing at that, running on bribes of conversation I picked up while waiting for Kate to finish working.

 

well, it seems like you got sun poisoning.

 

i know that ~~

CanadianGuy can you ask your gf how long i will be poisoned? :teeth:

oh yeh i got a big burn on my back

 

maybe you should just go out a bit more...

 

...a guy paying to get a tan... what is this world coming to? :lol:

 

I suggest you face your fears, and go back and tan for 20 minutes on 200 watts.

 

He does that and he'll come back out with a lot more than just a burn on his back... Massive dehydration comes to mind...

 

Yeah, I use sunbeds. To irradiate cell cultures! Living to todays world causes enough systematic harm to your body without microwaving your nads, me thinks.

 

ATM i'm working by an international sunbed companie, so all my tanning sessions are free ... now if i only wanted to use a sunbed :scratch:

 

i scared to use tanning beds.. never have and probably never will.. i'll barely even lay outside..

i got an absolutely horrid sunburn summer before last.. had blisters the size of golf balls on my arms.. they were so heavy with fluid that they sagged.. that sucked hardcore

 

My ex-girlfriend went to the tanning salon a few months ago...she got some bad blisters on her yoo-hoos. That was quite unfortunate.

 

hmm.. mine didn't blister, but they peeled horribly and got gross big bloody scabs on em.. where they burnt to this day is still a little more red than the rest of em, heh

hmm.. the nastiest part was when i was peeling the burnt skin off of my nose, the skin i was peeling off was like a smoky black color.. that's how bad it was burnt, it wasn't totally black, but it had a black tint to it

it was my fault though, sitting in the ocean in the direct sunlight in massachusetts in the middle of the summer is stupid, especially from 9:00 AM- 3:00 PM

 

Yea, that doesn't sound too cool. I knew a girl who did that down here in Florida, she fell asleep, woke up and could hardly move. She missed school for about a week or two.

The worst is when the days are hot but overcast. You sit out there and think that you aren't even getting a tan, and then you get into your car and you realize how burnt you really are.

 

its only tannable sun in england for like 1 month a year though, and ill need a base tan for when i go surfing or else i will blistify a purple bloom..

 

Almost like that old Volkswagen commercial...the two guys go to the gas station on a long road trip and each has 1/2 half of his body red...so then they switch sides :lol:

I think it's stupid to pay to get a tan....its like buying dirt in a bag, or water in a bottle, or air in a can...buying what should be free.

 

like i said, england dont give free tans so we gotta buy em :/

 

Wait... tell me again why you NEED a tan? :lol:

 

I hear tanning beds can give you something called Melanoma
-Nah, that's just fancy talk for Sexified!

 

well its a resistance for when i go surfing, if i go to sunny spain pale as a milk bottle, im gona fry in the first few hours no matter how good the sunblock is im wearing so i dont wana spoil that cos surfing r teh pwn

plus a tan is healthy for my skin (not in heavy doses as its bad for you) as well as attracting teh foxeh ladies
