I tanned in preparation for our wedding and I'd go about 3 times a week (just building up the tan, that was never for the maximum amount of time). After the wedding I kept tanning off and on for about a month but I haven't since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-156213 Fri, 11 May 2012 17:18:57 +0000 heartsnsunshine 156213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started in highschool to get tan for prom... then used it alot in college... and then some before my wedding... It's a bad habit... But after my wedding I decided that I wont go anymore... Glad I made that decision... a few weeks ago I saw this article floating around on facebook... Its much better to be pale and have great skin when you are older than tan now and look much older when you do age...</p> <p><a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.com/advice/health/skin-cancer-death-1009" rel="nofollow">http://www.cosmopolitan.com/advice/health/skin-cancer-death-1009</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-156196 Fri, 11 May 2012 16:46:15 +0000 Andrea 156196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I have never used one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-156193 Fri, 11 May 2012 16:44:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 156193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy a month of tanning about once a year.<br /> For that month I go 3 times a week and it's usually in preparation for summer, vacation, prom (back in HS) or something like my wedding.<br /> Last time I tanned was before my wedding (I bought a month) but since then I have been spray tanning twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-156080 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:08:15 +0000 heffalump 156080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, they really freak me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155936 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:28:30 +0000 chopsuey 155936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tanned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155926 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:17:11 +0000 MamaMoose 155926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 5 times in my life? All during high school or college. Now I just spray tan if I need a tan quickly for a wedding or something. I love spray tan : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155920 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:11:19 +0000 obxwife 155920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be honest, I do use the tanning bed. Only a few weeks before vacation each year to get a base tan before the beach and that's it. I have never been a serial tanner... I don't want wrinkles and leathery skin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155912 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:59:55 +0000 Shimmer 155912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never have and never will! My mom has skin cancer - not from sun exposure/tanning, but still - so I avoid the sun/UV rays like the plague! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155892 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:42:54 +0000 HLK208 155892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did about twice a week until I found out I had skin cancer. I have a huge scar on my leg from it now. I do miss laying out in the sun though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155817 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:10:57 +0000 mrsjyw 155817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to during college. And then post-college I would to "get a base" going before vacations. I don't use them anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155689 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:53:27 +0000 lilteacherbee 155689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to :/ I went to them once or twice a week, on and off for a few years especially right before my wedding. Then last year I had a scare with a suspicious looking mole on my skin and I stopped going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155656 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:28:05 +0000 mrs. bird 155656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never have, never will! I'm as fair skinned as they come &amp; had many bad sunburns when I was younger:( I don't tan really, I just burn. That &amp; I worry about wrinkles &amp; skin cancer, so I'll just get a spray tan if I need a tan for anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155651 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:24:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 155651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes all throughout high school and college, and occasionally afterwards if I was in a wedding (and for my wedding.) I find it very relaxing, however for the future I will probably stick to spray tanning to avoid wrinkles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155639 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:17:23 +0000 Alivoo01 155639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Never been to one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155591 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:02:17 +0000 hilsy85 155591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one once in college. My skin felt tight and uncomfortable afterwards and I didn't really see a difference, so I never tried it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155586 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:00:52 +0000 DillonLion 155586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in high school and college. It was not smart. But I enjoyed the act of tanning, I would always put on music and be able to take a nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155585 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:00:48 +0000 Honeybee 155585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never used one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155580 Fri, 11 May 2012 09:59:30 +0000 purrpletulips 155580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used them off and on in college but not really a fan. I burn really really easy so I have to be careful even in the no-burn beds. I agree that it was really boring and I don't like to be hot so that made it more unpleasant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-tanning-beds#post-155575 Fri, 11 May 2012 09:57:49 +0000 mediagirl 155575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I used a tanning bed once in high school but was SO bored that I couldn't keep going to get tan for prom. :) </p> <p>Were you/are you a tanning bed user? </p>
