When I was a child I was always outside playing or in the pool. As I became a teenager I did the tanning bed thing for a while. As an adult I did go to the tanning bed before a wedding I was in since it was December. And I've gone to the tanning bed to get a base tan before going on vacation so I wouldn't burn and be miserable on vacay.
But since my arms and face are the only thing that sees the sun these days I also use Jergens Natural Glow on my lower legs so that I can hopefully wear capri pants here soon (I need to go buy some). A few years ago I had some light tan capri pants and my co-worker teased me and said my legs matched the pants perfectly. I stopped wearing them after that.
After high school my friends mom got a tanning bed in her old bedroom. We used that sometimes. I'm fine with tanning beds as long as you don't over do it. My friend was so dark at one point it was horrible. And she thought she was white!!! After several people telling her it was too much, she slowed down on it.
Tanning beds are not "safe" in that a tan is technically skin damage, so please be careful, and memorize the warning signs of skin cancer as well, okay?
