first time in a standup!

[josie3s]

Ok, I knew it was gonna be hot and kind of boring, but sheesh, nobody told me it would be so SMALL! I'm claustrophobic, so that was a little freaky. Other than that though, it was fantastic! I used the less strong of the 2 standups in my salon (like the beds, old, and brands I've never heard of, but well maintained) 10 min in a 15 min max. I'm not going to give up my relaxation time in the beds for good, but WOW, I can already see a difference in some stubborn spots that had refused to tan up til now. They are still paler than the rest of me, but definitely darker than they were.

Now, of course, I have a couple questions. How often should I use the standup, to help those stubborn spots? Once a week? Every 2 weeks? Secondly, would it be wise to go again the next time I tan (probably Wednesday)? I'm impatient, I want to catch those stupid white spots up as fast as I can without hurting my skin!

Well, One season, a standup was all I used, 3 times a week, so it just depends on how dark you want to get. I'd probably, and wiil once my salon gets in their standup, 2 - 3 times a month, just to get a Boost and a quick session in!

You can use the stand up again the next time you tan. If you want, you can use it every time until you catch the lighter spots up. You're still getting the same amount of uv exposure allowed. I just use a standup about once a week or so now to keep everything even.

All I really use is the stand-up, and I love it! I don't have white underarms, or white sides, or white anything!! Everything is tan, tan, tan!

[brownies 3535]

our salon tells everyone to use a stand up 1-2 times amonth to help with white lines and even out your tan!

[BrownJen]

Yea, the stand-ups are kind of small and make you feel claustrophobic. I like to use the stand-ups to even out my sides and underarms. I always get a nice boost in my color from the stand-ups.

[sessa518]

stand ups are the bomb!! cost a little more but they are worth it

[Tan4ever]

I love the standup! It really does even out your tan. No more white underarms!!

[bikini princess]

its true that standups are highly enclosed spaces...kind of like the bathrooms on airplanes!

I use the standup 98% of the time. I usually don't have time to lay there for 30 minutes and this way I can always get my side and under my arms tan too.

[KonaBikeBabe]

Yeah, I rarely go to the lay-down. The stand-up I use is way colder than the lay-down, and I do not get sweaty. Sweaty is gross!!

[DeReKzTaNBaBiE]

Yeah my stand up is a 10 min max and is pretty cold!!! I Love it but nothing beats laying in the bed and relaxing. I have two kids that's my only 15 minutes of quiet! LOL

I use stand ups alot too. They really do even everything out. My arms used to be really pale underneath but now Im a good color all over. The only thing I dont like is I find standing up for 12 minutes annoying. It gets pretty hot in there and its so small. At the salon I go to they have a standup in a large room and they have 2 more with little cubicals attached to them. You have to enter the small little cubical and put your lotion on and undress and then open the attached door to the stand up. Its so annoying. Then after you tan in the stand up you come out to the hot little cramped cubical. Everytime I want to use a standup I ask for the one in the big room. I used to use standups all the time but now I switch it up ever week that I tan so I can relax in a bed. I do 12 in both and they are the same intensity.

Admit it Josie. You liked the fact that it was easier to dance too, huh?

Use the standup to avoid BMS!! (BUTT MOON SYBDROME)

ROFL, ummmmmmm, no. This booth was seriously tiny, and I am NOT tiny. I'd have been smacking into the walls continuously if I was dancing. I did try some funky positions to make sure my feet were getting tan though.

[sessa518]

yeah it does get pretty boring standing around in there. in the one at my salon you can barely hear the music over the fans.
