lol.. You girls crack me up! My skin is fine. That is what tanning lotion is for. Anything is bad for you if you abuse it. Cigarettes, energy drinks, soda, liquor, you name it. Three to four times month will not hurt you and your skin will not be dry I promise you that. I know mine isn't but each person is different.
I have been going now for three months to get rid of a uneven boy tan. Which is now gone so I can wear shorts and skirts without looking like a nun that has had her legs covered for a decade as well as low cut tops. Love you girl but a measly 7-8 minutes of your life; 3 times a month for 4 months will not take a decade of your skin off.
It was either do tanning for a short time or look like a clown in public until my tan lines disappeared. Arizona is not a place where you can get away wearing pants, and "t-shirts" until summer time.
Once summer weather hits I won't be doing the tanning bed scene anymore. It's served its purpose as a fix early in my transition when I went full-time.
