Will 200 tanning minutes be okay for me?

Also which level should I tan on? I'm not a fair skinned individual I'm naturally tan. Not super dark or anything, but I have a olive tan complexion. I just want to be summertime dark for my upcoming prom. I have no idea which level I should tan on or if 200 minutes will be enough for me to achieve the bronze tan I'm looking for in time for prom. The levels go from 1 all the way up to 6.

Thanks!

    I'll let Lisa tell you about tanning beds.

    Google her and see what she looks like 2010.

    "Plastic Week: Lisa Gastineau On The Dangers Of Tanning Beds"

    She had 2-3 melanoma moles removed, one by her nose. She had nose surgery just to get her nose straighter, so she can breath again. She got those moles from a tanning bed.

    Tanning beds aged you by 10-15 years!

    A new study conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology has found that tanning bed exposure can be dangerous when tanners self-diagnose skin problems and use the radiation to treat skin eruptions. The study specifically found that a tanning bed user that used the radiation to treat a mild skin rash caused by an ibuprofen allergy developed a much more severe reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). When left untreated, TEN can be fatal.

    Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease. An estimated 68,130 new cases of melanoma were diagnosed in the United States during 2010 and about 8,700 people died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. Two million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the US each year, according to the EPA's Sun-Wise Program. That's more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer cases combine!

    I've been protecting myself from the sun since age 9, but no matter, I got Discoid Lupus. Google that one. It was like someone punched my chin and it gave a purplish mark. It took 12 years for that to fade, so now I'm using a wide brim hat or umbrella for protection. Gene Simmons & Shannon both have been seen hold an umbrella during an event. They were invented before beauty products, for a reason. Google also Bullous Pemphegoid another skin disorder. My husband's aunt recently got MELANOMA IN HER LUNGS, and in hospice now. When only last Christmas, she was behaving and very happy like she's 35 again! She's almost 84. She was a golfer and did stained glass.

    i know probably loads of people say this but you should get a spray tan instead. tanning causes premature wrinkles, increases your chance of skin cancer and is quite bad for you. look after your skin while you're young or you'll regret it when you're older!x
