My Use Of Tanning Bed Accelerator
Tanning has not always been my thing. Matter of fact, I only went to a tanning salon one time on a free trial. The trial was for three free tans in the stand up tanning tube as long as you purchased one tanning bed accelerator.
I jumped in the little tube, rubbed the accelerator all over my body and got in the tube. The limit was five minutes for the first time. After five minutes was up, I got out hoping to see this beautiful dark tan on my skin. I looked down at my arms only to find lotion covering my still pasty white skin.
A few months later I decided to go fishing with a group of friends. Where is my tanning lotion? Here it is! I grabbed it and was off. We got to the beach around eight AM. I rubbed my Suntan lotion (which was actually tanning bed accelerator) all over my skin. I fished, and rubbed more and more on throughout the day until we finished around four PM. I was expecting to see this beautiful tan glow on skin, but found out- to my surprise I was red as a ripe tomato.
When I got home after the long ride from the beach, I was in so much pain I slept for the next two days. And it was not a good sleep. It was a painful sleep that woke me up every time I rolled over. I guess it didn’t take me long to realize that you should NEVER wear tanning bed accelerator when you go outside tanning. It’s definitely not tan lotion and not made for the direct sunlight. What made it worse was that I just got hired for a new job and was so happy to experience my first day at my new job glowing red like Rudolf in front of all of my new coworkers.
If you use tan accelerators for the purpose it was made for, the tanning salon, then you will see great results. If you use it for the wrong purposes; as I stupidly demonstrated, it will not work out so well for you.
Take it from me, you do not want to accelerate the sun power burning your skin, It hurts. And even after all of the pain and burning and glowing red, I am still white as snow.
