I'm following this thread b/c I do use a tanning bed. Actually, I bought one for my home. I tan in moderation and don't over-use it. However, I suppose that any use is bad for you. I've had so many years of laying out in the sun.... For those of you who do this and were asking about lotion, I recommend Ambrosia Maximizer (w/bronzer). But I'd have to join the wiser voices and say that it really isn't good for you. Another tip--when you tan in a salon, ask how new the bulbs are, b/c you can get burned easily with new/hot bulbs.
