Your body's response is key to using a tanning bed. You will know when you have had enough time tanning and should never spend more than 15-20 minutes doing so. If you are new to tanning, always use the lowest setting first in order to see how you will react such as being aware of skin irritation. If you feel that you are able to handle the lower settings then gradually increase the setting over time until you find just what it is you like and what is best for you. Always consult a physician before using a tanning bed if you are pregnant. While most doctors will allow it, be sure and use shorter periods of time than you would if you were not pregnant.
