<p>You know those tanning goggles you wear to tanning beds? Can you get goggle tan lines from them? How bad?</p>
<p>I'm Asian...I want to tan. If I tan for 10 minutes..for five sessions. How dark will I get? I'd say I'm a light, yellow-brown skin.</p>
<p>If you are Asian, you will get dark fast. Why do you want to tan if you are already yellow-brown? Depending on the brand/type of the goggles, there should be minimal lines or none.</p>
<p>Yes, you can get tan lines from the goggles. It doesn't look good. I don't know how long you'd have to go to get those though... I don't see why you would go in the first place with the likeliness of skin cancer and everything but I guess some people will never learn.</p>
<p>We're all bound to die of some form of disease. Anyway, I'm tanning because I'm going to this formal thing. Tans make people looking a bit slimming and I'm a little pudgy so I just want to look smooth and bronze. I'm probably going to just cut it to three sessions at Planet Fitness. It's a stand up tan. I know without goggles, it's bad for your eyes. I'm not going to risk that...although many of my friends tan without them.</p>
<p>Why don't you just do a spray tan then? Several of my friends have done them and they look great. If you do that though, get it done by a person- not one of the machine things.</p>
<p>Or you could just exercise...</p>
<p>if you want to be leathery skinned, then go tan</p>
<p>damn, i thought this site was about google...lol guess i cant read :D</p>
<p>Why is everyone so against it? Funny, because I don't think I'm the only one here who tans indoor. I understand I could be "leathery-skinned" or whatever. I don't have time to work it off..it's in a week and I just got to do the extreme. I will not crash diet either.</p>
<p>I second unwritten02. all the spray tans I've seen have looked great.</p>
<p>I tanned for a bit last year for prom. For someone who is really, really pale like me, the spray-on tanners don't work unless you have some color. You should try the spray-on tanners because if you are already a light yellow-brown, the spray won't turn orange. Try to find a local salon that has the spray machine thingy or buy a bottle from the store.</p>
<p>"Why is everyone so against it?" are you kidding? have you not heard anything about skin cancer ?!</p>
<p>^And actually, a few of my friends were really pale and their tans (they weren't drastic, but obviously they shouldn't be) looked really nice, but then like I said, they were done by a person, not a machine, so the person could choose the correct shade, etc for my friends' particular skin colors</p>
<p>get it done by person or not at all</p>
<p>I've never gotten mine done by the spray machine. I've always used the spray bottle and it's turned orange. All I wanted was one of those glows and instead I looked like cheddar cheese 0.0 You don't want to be too dark.</p>

<p>Same! I read Google Tan lines from tanning googles? HUH?? ;)</p>
<p>Skin cancer only if you tan excessively. This is a three time thing.</p>
<p>i think tanning is dumb. i guess i have no room to talk cause i always stay relatively dark. but anyway, i think some of the most beautiful people are pale....but that's just me.</p>
<p>hey, i go to a school where tanning is a pretty big deal. spray tans do work (even on pale people) and they do look good. on the contrary, i would advise you to not get it done by a person... i have, and it's very awkward and that's enough to make me not want to do it. if you go to an OFFICIAL mystic tanning bed (ask about this), it's really easy and looks really good (and dark) and i've never seen it look orange or splotchy. do NOT go to a non-mystic spray tan bed where you will have to rub the tan in by yourself... it will not look good. go to mystic, and just make sure to use the prep gel, cover your hair, dance around while you're getting sprayed (haha, that's the fun part) and be really careful about not showering afterward or anything. those are about $15... get one now, see how you look 2 days before your event and get another one then if you want to be darker. </p>
<p>because your event is so close, you might as well not even bother going to a bed... even if you go every day, using really high strength UV rays or going for a long time when you're first starting tanning is dangerous and you might burn. and if you use safe, lower-intensity UV rays, especially since you already have medium-shade skin, you're not going to see much significant change by the time of your formal. if you were a month away instead of a week, it'd be different, but mystic tans are safer and cheaper (in the long run) anyway. i know i sound like a mystic infomercial, but i have struggled with the tan-for-special-event problem many a time... just wanted to share my wisdom :)</p>
<p>haha thank you. at least someone here is more informative than others.</p>
