Pfft! Posted by: HSV-Dee 18 Jan 2011 5:03pm

I am a redhead with freckles etc and I successfully obtained a beautiful brown tan using sunbeds over an extended period of time. It's not exposure to the UV rays that's the issue, it's the length of exposure that doesn't the damage. Managed carefully and responsibly it's not dangerous. Anyway spray tans are disgusting, unreliable and look fake. I'll have one using my own pigmentation any day.

Gradual Tan Moisturisers Posted by: hokohoko2 20 Jun 2010 11:52am

There are many moisturisers available that build up a gradual tan.

It's a good idea for Consumer to test the range of gradual tan moisturisers.

I hope you do so before the summer season returns!
Cheers.

Ban them! Posted by: Craig Shearer 27 Aug 2009 1:24pm

Sunbeds should be banned except for strict medical use. These types of operations prey on people's vanity at the risk of skin cancer later in life.
