sun tan lotion protection

[bubbles4920]

can you wear sun tan protection on a sunbed? wanting to start tan off before going on holiday abroad. only want to do certain areas so wondered if i could put spf on before i tan.

Just cover the area you don't want tanned with towels. Sun tan lotion will make a horrible mess of the sunbed.

im also concerned that my skin will age so think i need to add spf, does this work on a sunbed with the uva, uvb lights?

If you are worried about your skin ageing you should not get any sort of tan, except out of a bottle.

Your skin tans because it is damaged. It is your choice.

i know its dangerous, wanting to start off my tan before i go to the carribean where the sun is very strong. i never tan naturally in just a week so want to start it off beforehand, thats why i want to know if i can use an spf factor on a sunbed with uva uvb rays or whatever they are. do you know if i can?

btw, most of the time at home i do use fake tan ie st tropez but after a while it comes off and particularly looks a mess on my feet even after exfoliating.
