Warning to those who try to ramp up their tan just before the trip, with a visit to a "capsule" instead of a tanning bed.
Do NOT keep your arms up for more than a couple of minutes. Your armpits have never seen sunlight.
Damn this hurts.

Hydrogel will heal you much faster. Talk to your MD.

Just get some good aloe and start slatehring that on. You'll be good in no time.

I have started the tanning process already. We start out abuot 6 weeks in advance and go 2-3 times a week. We start out REAL slow because we know there are parts that haven't seen the light of day for months....
