[relax]

Hi!i wanted to ask some of the experienced tanners,who have been tanning for 5-6 years or more and have been using indoor tanning lotions, moisturisers etc, how your skin is-have the lotions and moisturisers helped????
i'm referring to the facial area - how often do you guys tan the face - any other advice for taking care of the face???



i am 21 now so i just wanna know what i can expect or hope for

Use sunless if you want to take care of your face. View these photos of twins-one baked, the other one didn't. http://www.antell-md.com/sunskintwins.html
http://www.sunless.com Sunless.com is a good web site.

regarding the pictures of the twins, i've seen these pictures and article before, and it is really compelling. The thing that i think is interesting is that the article says nothing about the more sun-damaged twin using tanning beds. Her tanning exposure occured outdoors, in the natural sunlight under varying, unregulated conditions. She said nothing of what lotions she used to try and keep her skin healthy, and she also didnt say whether she was a smoker or not.

All of these factors have an effect on your skin.... so do climate conditions, diet, excercize, general health (no two people have the same health history, even if they have the same parents, and are twins).... all of these need to be taken into account when looking at the more skin-damaged twin's situation.

agree with mountaingirl.....that's why it would be nice to hear from someone who has been using tanning beds and lotions and moisturisers - and hear if their skin is bad or normal......

OH my! After looking at those pics, I don't want to tan my face anymore!! Well maybe by the time I'm that age I will have the guts to get a face lift.

Yeah, from Don's previous comments he probably would. He never responded to my last post on the other thread, lol.

hey, i have been tanning for about 10 years all togather. i always stop in the fall and winter but anyway my skin is great but i have a lady massage me like once a week and my husband but while they are i have them use a great lotion which i have switched to hempz and love it but ordered some angel to try as well. i do not tan my face. i put make up the color the rest of me is. i take 2 wash cloths in the room with me and double layer them on my face b/c that is one place you really dont want wrinkles and stuff. i sure dont plan on getting botox till iam 45-50. lol for real though. this site is a very good site as well. i never really cared to discuss tanning but since this i am really excited. and i have learned things i may have questions on as well.

I have also stopped tanning my face and am using an st on face along with a bronzer - works really well. I just put the towel over my face when I'm in the bed
