Planning to go over tomorrow and ask to borrow a cup of coffee?
Spent the whole day outside. I have been tanning since June, cannot get brown, but I sit in the sun for twenty-five minutes and am boiled pink.
The tanning beds use only one of the two types of rays, and I think they have intensity settings.
An old boyfriend of mine had his own tanning booth, he had serious psoriasis and really needed it in winter to keep that under control. He had different bulbs and different settings, depending on whether he wanted a light burn or a tan. Some of them he'd only do for about a minute. The commercial tanning places might be pretty conservative on what they use.
BTW, there's a place in town here called "Jamaica Me Tan" - I always thought that was a cool name for a tanning parlor :~)
