    im naturally quite pale built have built up an alright tan on the sunbed – try 3 minutes on the sunbed see how you’re skin reacts if it is okay then try another 3 minutes couple of days later and so on and then maybe build up to 6 minutes once a week or something – do you have alot of freckles or moles?

    Im a weirdo… im ginger.. Naturally. but i have medium skin! i tan, i have read on net that eye colour and freckles can be a sign … i have very few freckles and have bright green eyes…my whole family have olive skin boo!!

    i have a six minute one every week for first 4 wk then move up to 2 six mins for 2 weeks and then move on to 9mins for the rest!

    if ur really fair try starting 3 mins once a week. u dont wanna burn or u may not tan…

    hope this helps. good tanning salons should help u if u ask them what would they advise for u xxx

    I’m pale with nearly black hair naturally, I always used to just burn in the sun and was always to scared to try a sunbed! I started off with 3 minutes on a stand up (less powerful than the lay downs) which I increased to 6 minutes over time! This built me up a great base colour and everyone could notice a difference! I’ve been on a few times for 6 minutes since have my boobs done and they’ve been fine :)

    yeh just build it up slowly and use a good accelerator lotion. my friend is blonde & really pale she went on for 3 mins a few times didnt burn so moved to 6 mins twice, no burning, then 9 etc.. i go on for 15mins now a few times a week lol im addicted to the tanning & the different lotions!! ask the girl in the salon which bed she recommends, coz the stand up at the 2 salons i go to are MUCH stronger than the lay downs. and 1 of the salons has a special bed that is least likely to make u burn x

    yeah my stand ups are stronger than the lay downs at my salon.

    try nd get a coin salon, that way you can do three mins then if you feel ok stick the other three mins coin in. Xx

    Norvell Face & Legs is really good for hard 2 tan places, slight bronzer in it though.

    biggest colour change for me is from “Supre Honeydew Hemp” but u can only get it on ebay i think coz its american! :(

    & its really good 2 change it up alot n not use the same lotion all the time apparently, thats why the sachets are good!!

    this is amazingg, no bronzer but it gets u so dark! smells gorgeous.

    Hun, if u ask in salon theyll tell u. def start with three mins. and also use a token coin one (that way u can use three mins then more if u feel upto it.) my tanning shops fab, proper rooms where u can lock door and get changed with the tanning machine in corner. :-) enjoy; be safe; they are addictive xx
