Okay, I am a bloke. Straight etc. Before anyone jumps to conclusions!

However, I used to use sunbeds once a week a couple of years back when I was keeping quite fit - plus it used to really help with my skin. I have quite oily skin and prone to the odd outburst of spots. Quite annoying! So I have started to use them again once a week for around 6 minutes.

The only reason I'm using it is because of my skin - if I had healthy looking blemish-free skin I wouldn't use them.

Does anyone here admit to using a sunbed? Also, is it okay using it once a week for 6 minutes at a time?

As I must stress, it isn't that I want to look like I have a perma-tan - I just hate having the skin of a 15 year old adolescent although I'm in my mid-20's!

All sensible and non-sensible replies welcome! smile

I wouldnt imagine any amount of time on a sunbed is going to be good for you IMO. Only ever used one once years ago at a party my mates mum had one in there garage and I'm sure you can imagine the rest.... Needless to say she wasnt overly impressed.

I do feel quite shameful when leaving and entering such joints on my jack so I end up walking quite quick or even picking up a slow jog. It's okay if I have to wait for a tanning booth because it looks like I'm waiting for my bird.

Imagine you walking out with a fresh tan to be confronted by your mates all pointing and laughing at you.

I've thought about it. I'd never go very often I don't think, but every few weeks in the winter months is tempting. What affect does 3/4 mins have?
