7 Steps to Safer Sunning
1. If possible, avoid the sun.
2. Use sunscreen.
3. Wear a hat.
4. Wear sunglasses.
5. Cover up.
6. Avoid the UV rays of tanning beds.
7. Check skin regularly!
There are products that contain the active ingredient Dihydro-xyacetone (DHA). When you wipe it over your skin, the DHA works with the amino acids and proteins in the superficial layer of your skin to create a tan.
After application, it takes about 2-3 hours for your tan to appear, depending on your skin color and chemical levels in your skin.

My Dad just got married on March 11, 2006 and I was one of the Bridemaids.
The dress that my stepmom had for the bridemaids to wear was very reviling. I was very white. So I wanted to get color so I decided to go to the tanner.
The first time I went into the bed, I was so scared. After my first time of going, I was so red. I have never been back and I will never go again to a another tanner in my life.

My name is Jamie and I have major issues with my body. I'm 5'7 and I weigh around 135.
I know that it seems a normal weight, but I feel like my thighs, stomach, and my butt area is huge.
I also have the palest skin. I try tanning but I seem to get no color, and I tried the spray on tanning but that just makes me look orange and splotchy. I wish I could be more confident in the way I look but I seem to always find something wrong with myself.
If anyone has advice on what I could do to feel and look better please let me know.
