question about tanning

Post by immortaltech1015 »

Hey guys. Im thinking about laying out so i can tan because im kinda pale now so i was wondering is only occasionally tanning in the sun would age my skin.i didnt think it would do much because im still 14 but i just want to make sure.i think i sould do it gradually though so i dont get burned.

ok thanks

I think it should be okay if you do it carefully. But excessive tanning will age your skin.

Lately some scientists have reccomended using tanning beds during the winter for vitamin D. The reccomended time to spend in the "sun" is only 7-12 minutes, once a week or so.

Will this cause noticeable damage or "aging" of the skin?

And one more thing, what about self tanning lotions?

Any reason why theese would cause acne (except for the fact that some of them might contain water attracting substances) or harm you in any other way?

How do they work?
What do they contain?

No, i dont think so, depending on the power of those lamps, of course ;D
Cholesterol is a precursor for vitamin D, so it helps to consume enough egg yolks (they also contain vitamin D, as fish does too)

I will get an ingredients list form a self taning lotion and post it here.

Thanks for the answer, I think I will try to do 5-10 min in a tanning bed
once or twice a week to get enough vitamin D, and hopefully keep
some of the "glow" I got when I was sailing in Croatia this month :)

I will report back in 30 years if I get wrinkles! :)
