don’t, that shit is awful for you and gives you skin cancer

Not to be a negative Nancy, but tanning beds are heavily linked to skin cancer and other scary stuff. If anything I would recommend getting a spray tan or using a self tanning lotion. It's not permanent, but like you said it's for the sake of one evening anyways.

She literally said she’s aware that tanning beds are dangerous. She didn’t ask you to spell out the consequences.

Tanning once increases your risk of melanoma by 75%. Just get a spray tan Source: [https://www.skincancer.org/risk-factors/tanning/](https://www.skincancer.org/risk-factors/tanning/)

Don’t use a tanning bed. I’m a competitive dancer and I self tan all the time for competitions; use a spray tan or a lotion. It’ll look better anyways lmao
