First time Tanner?

Well in my opinion, the stand-up tanning booth works ALOT better than the bed; I feel as if the bed burns your back and doesn't give you as even a tan as the stand-up does. If it's your first time, I suggest you don't stay for the full-amount of time because you will burn if you do. If you have fair skin, make sure you take the time you stay in it in to consideration. The tanning oils can be purchased at the counter [in most salons] and you can ask the person who works there which of the lotions in her/his opinion works the best. I personally like using ones with a slight bronzer in it so it gives a "glow" look.. but that's just me=) Make sure you apply the lotion evenly, you don't wanna burn in some spots and get tan in others! and as for your eyes, I don't know if they'll have these at your salon, but they're called 'blinkies' or something like that, and they are disposable eye protectors made from this goldish-paper and they look like little cones and you put them on your eyes... they don't have a string so you don't have to worry about the tanline. As for "down there" I suggest wearing thong underwear.. it would be pretty uncomfortable for a burn there haha. Hope this helps! Anymore questions, feel free to ask=)
