    Spray on tans.

    Eventually the melanoma lesions you get in the tanning booth will turn very dark.......is that what you really want?

    Ask the tanning salons employee which lotion they would recommend. Tanning places usually sell lotion that is specifically for tanning beds, and a lot of the time there are ones that give a light tan, or ones that let you get your darkest. Also if your tanning salon offers a standing up tanning bed, use that, it will allow you to get the same tan as a lying down tan bed in half the time.

    Ask the people at your tanning salon about the different beds. Usually the more expensive beds provide a darker tan, and they are sometimes even a little less harmful than the other beds. If you tan in the bed and then get a spray on tan right after while your pores are still warm and open you will get a great tan.

    OK first of all people need to keep their Opinions to themselves. You asked what type of lotion should you use in a tanning bed to get a deeper tan> Not hey everyone what is your opinion on tanning beds>>>>uurgh that is so annoying, anyway, I would use a tanning lotion that has a bronzer in it, and always moisturize after you tan because that will help maintain the existing tan and make you skin soft and all together make you look better!! Good luck!!

    Use a good bronzer lotion, California Tan if possible.

    And I love all these people that just shout out how tanning beds kill people yet I'm sure you all walk around in the sun. 8 minutes two times a week isn't going to give anyone cancer. You're more likely to get cancer when you're letting your skin BURN.

    Try a sample of each of these...Simply Divine by Swedish Beauty, Drama Queen, Bohemia and Spellbound all by Designer Skin. Those are the best lotions I have tried and you should find one you like in one of those!

    use some lotion made especially for tanning beds that may also be tinted so that you get a little fake tan too. and make sure to order a side of chemo, because sooner or later that tan is going to catch up with you and give you some wicked cancer

    Source(s): my dad has squamis cell skin cancer and i have a friend that has melanoma. shes 22. let me tell you, nothing looks better than a big scar across your back because they cut off your skin cancer. think about that while you're lathering on your non-spf proof lotions and oils

    I really do not find thid question amusing... Twice a week? My mother survived through the worst type of skin cancer and never went tanning and you are tanning twice a week bacically asking for skin cancer.. Have fun when your skin gets wrinkly, you get age spots and cancerous moles all over your body!

    YOU DONT. TANNING BEDS ARE THE WORST POSSIBLE THING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE THAT YOU CAN DO TO YOUR SKIN.

    YOU SHOULD BE TANNING 0 TIMES A WEEK.

    STOP. YOU ARE GOING TO GET SKIN CANCER. I GUARANTEE YOU.
