Hey skin geeks, just popped over from hair geek
Im off to Egypt for a week in March and I want to go with a light tan before i start my hols and then hopefully come back beautifully darker
I never use sunbeds, I am a spray tanner at heart and always have a spray ten weekly lol but I know once I jump in a pool the tan fades 90% and goes patchy.
So my question is, is it actually healthier to have a few sunbeds before my holiday? I was thinking about this as an alternative to my spray tans but also logically, by having a few sunbeds, this would build up my skin defences, pigmentation (sorry dont know the facts just typing as i ponder this lol) making it a bit healthier when i do get in the real sun as i'll have a build up, meaning i'm less likely to burn? I always wear factor 50-30 in the sun anyway, as im really wary of skin cancers, But is this actually better? Or am i completely wrong and in fact its still mega dangerous and makes no differnece to when i get my skin in the real sun? .
Hope that makes sense, any advice you got is appreciated
