Lotion Sample Packets

Lotion Sample Packets

Im so scared to go tanning?

Okay so I recently started working at a tanning salon. Im 16, I got my first spray tan about 4 weeks ago, and yesterday, my boss told me that Im going to get off of work tomorrow a little early so i can go tanning. Im so scared... Im white, I have dark red hair and i burn pretty easily...

Can someone tell me basically everything I should know about going tanning? Im seriously like so scared. And whats it like in a tanning bed? Is it hotter than it is during the summer?

She also told me to bring one Tanning Lotion Sample packet (she gave me like 7) and im afraid that i will burn if i use one...

PLEASE DONT TELL ME ALL THE RISKS OF TANNING, I AM AWARE OF THEM!
uhm i cant not go tanning... my boss wants me too considering i work at a tanning salon and i need to be tan to work there....

Since you're new at tanning, you should only go in for a short amount of time. Just ask your boss how long she recommends you staying in there, because you don't want to burn. It depends on what kind/how new the beds are as to how long you should go in your first time. When I started, I did 4 minutes. And even that gave me a slight burn. (But I was only like the 4th person to use the bed, so the bulbs were really new and powerful.)

Anyways, the lotions won't make you burn more, they'll just make you tan more. If you go only for a short amount of time, you won't get burnt.

As for the heat, it can get hot in the tanning beds. BUT almost all tanning beds (that i've seen) have fans in them that make it feel better. Like, you'll feel warm, but you'll have the breeze of the fan on you to make it feel good.

But don't forget to ask your boss how long you should go in. And If you start feeling too hot, or if you feel like you're getting a sunburn, just get out. (:

Luck!
