   i work at sun tan city & definitly recommed going there! the higher the bed the more color your gonna get yeah its more expensive but its worth it and YES! lotion WORKS! never tan without it! i always switch it up bc if you use the same one over and over it builds a tolerence to it so switch up your lotion and it tricks it up and allows you to get darker! same with the beds, do a different bed each day, and yeah tanning might be bad but it relaxes your body and makes you feel good so theres a PLUS to it !the designer skin called "black" is the best! its $89 at sun tan city but we always have sales! & it has 20x bronzers in it also. the designer skin "bellezza" is really good too but i like black bc it makes your skin SUPER soft! bc its a silicone base. the lotion "black" that i was talking about actually has fade defying formula in it so it helps your tan from fading alsoEDIT TO YOUR QUESTION: yeah the tanning beds at gyms do suck, honestly i hate to say it though. but at sun tan city they change the bulbs every half life! which is sooner than ANY other tanning beds out there! usually they just keep the bulbs till they run out which is not good, but if you want you can look up sun tan city to see if there one where you live! we have a special going on, if you do the regular beds its only 29.99 a month (for the one month) and you get 50 dollars in upgrades to do higher level beds so you can switch it up and see more color. and also its USUALLY 20 bucks to join but you dont have to pay the 20 to join if you join in august! BUT, if there is not a sun tan city where you live just go to your nearest tanning bed and ask how soon they change there bulbs and the sales they have going on. and just find the best one and pick the one that changes the bulbs more.sorry i wrote so much lol

   It's definetly the place you go to.I use to go to this place for so long, and I could barley see a difference, then I switched places, and I kid you not – by the 5th day I was dark as heck.Try looking around for better places. Also, I would ask the place you're going to what they recommend for you.

   Your best bet is to ask somebody working at the salon. They can recommend what would work best for you. I was also told not to shower for 3 hours after tanning, and make sure you use body moisturizer often because tanning drys the skin.
