Well i wouldnt start out at 10 minutes you should actually work urself up from about 8 then to maybe 12 over the next 3 weeks, ( u definately do not wanna burn)BUT you probably will not get very dark by just the tanning bed alone so buy a lotion at the salon that has at least 4 bronzers in it. But you will stay dark for about 2 weeks or so, I f i were you i would go at least once a week after that first 3 wks to maintain ur color
Don’t start at 10 minutes or you will burn & throw your schedule off! Start at 5 minutes the 1st week 3x. Then seeif you can go 7 before you jump to 10. If you are getting pinky then do not increase your schedule. I go once a month to maintain for 20 minutes in a low bed so it always looks like I have a light tan but some friends jumped to higher beds & they are so dark it’s disgusting. The lotions do make a difference. Make sure you **** on a piece of hard candy or your mouth can dry out. Make sure you use eye protection. It is so important. Hope this helps.
