OK, yes. I know they can increase the risk of skin cancer.

But my question is how long does it take to notice a tan on them?

/what time is best to start on?

My mum has one (pull over the bed)
It all depends how your skin is already.. and the wattage of the bulbs..
I think ours is 200W, But go in for 3 minutes, and then tomorrow go in for 4, stay on 4 for a few days..

It may take upto a week.. My mum thought ahh yeah i know they cant be powerfull, she went in for 5 minutes and came out bright red on her chest

they've been telling people to use fake tan creams not just because of cancer but if you use a sun bed now it may make you look good for the short term but after about 20-30 years it'l look worse than it would if you hadn't used it.

Because everyone has money growing on trees..

Personally i've never tanned, but my friend did and it took about a week for me to notice anything.

Don't use a sunbed. Not only is there the risk of cancer but it will screw your skin up when you're older.


If anything use fake tan.
