Ladies that tan in a tanning bed...

I am not a regular tanner but DH got me a 3 months for this summer since He thought it would make me feel better. I have been going for about a month, however I can't seem to get the top of my chest (colar bone) and shoulders to tan. Anyone else have this problem or have any tips for getting "sun" in the parts.

 TIA!

Re: Ladies that tan in a tanning bed...

  • I always had problems with that area and my feet (my legs would tan, but I always had white feet).  I pretty much figured out it was better for me to shift around in a couple different positions that would hit those areas better while I was in there, as opposed to laying still in one spot the whole time.  Thats about all I could do!  But in the real sun I dont tan in those areas either, so I had the problem no matter what...so maybe it looked natural for me not to be tan there...LOL!
  • Are you using a lotion? 

    That was the only thing that worked for me...a high quality lotion.

  • Ditto on the lotion. I always had to use it. Also try shifting the placement of your arms and such. Maybe that will help.
  • Lotion for sure and I would always lay with my chin as far away from my neck as I could get it.  One of the places I tanned actually had some kind of rubber block thing that would lift your head so you could tilt it back and really get in that area.  Otherwise, it might help to turn your head to the side for part of your sessions. 
  • If there is a face tanner it kinda cuts off try moving down a bit
