Guest boy2man Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Just wanted to make an observation on the guys at Sun Tanning Studio. They are generally nice and friendly. Most probably AJ too! Today I went to tan but the place was closed as they were installing new tanning machines. Nevertheless, I asked if I could use the toilet to change out of my gym gear. A tanned Mandarin-speaking guy, probably in his early to mid 30s, who was in charge there, said okay. That's the way! So cute of him, haha. He made my day.

Riko Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Well, it's not that stupid.Singapore is a fast paced place and everyone wants things quick. For only half an hour, you get a tan equivalent to lying on the beach for like 4 hours. Not to mention the harmful UV rays. Although I'm not really a fan of it, I actually wanted to try once, but even then I had no time.And since this place is like 2 minutes walk from my office, I might just drop by next time. Heehee.

TopChinese Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Oh please.. if I blindly follow the in thing, I'll be having babies with some woman now. Tanning parlours are still dangerous for skin cancer.. you can die from too much tanning. Why get a tan if you can't afford the time/mood to relax in the sun. Its your money, go spend it on some cute boy locking you up in some coffin with bright lights for all I care. I'm not going to pay good money to get cancer. I'm getting my tan the natural (and free) way. At the pool doing my laps.. or lazing with my dog at the nude beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiyoh... in thing must follow meh?I mean, I'm not disputing the fact that it is kinda ridiculous to have a tanning studio in a location where it's perpetual summer... but it's just faster than normal tanning.And yeah, after reading the 'test skin type thing', you're right TC, it still does emit UV rays. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonely Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I thought UV rays are the ones that make you tan? But I guess it is like smoking, the direct link to cancer is not medically established.But one thing to note is that tanning DOES cause premature aging of the skin.

waves Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I have been to STS a few times. I agree that the staff there are very friendly and helpful and the whole place is not too bad, though a bit small and cramped. And you get to see cute guys most of the time. But the price is really quite steep, as with all indoor tanning parlours in Singapore. Actually suntanning, whether indoor or outdoor, can be equally harmful. I suggest using self tanners as another alternative. Works well and is not harmful at all. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Driclor Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 - Do a full body scrub before going for the tan then apply the normal sun tan lotion.- Do a full body scrub before tanning, apply fragrance or anything that contains alcohol... this is not very advisable as it will burn your skin.

GachiMuchi Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 There are 2 types of skins. One that tans easily while the other turns red like lobster.Which one do you belong?You won't see the effect of the tanning salon until after a few hours.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 i'm trying indoor tanning now. And yes, you do not get the look just after 1 or 2 sessions. It can take up to 6 sessions just to build that base tan. Especially for fair skin people who burns easily. I prefer indoor tanning to get the effect quickly, ie, you get to tan nude for 10-20mins which is equivalent to 3-4hrs under the sun. No need to flip front and back in the pool or beach which means you get divided hours on your body. Expensive yes, but that the price for convenience and time. Once you get the base tan up, you can pop by beaches or pools bi-weekly or monthly just to maintain the tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest just checking Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I heard those indoor tanning salons are like death shops giving you skin cancer.

Tight Ass Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 People who want a nice tanned colour should refer to the ideal specimen I have. Wear a G-string, apply lotion on the cheeks, rub it in circular motion, leave the outer layer untouched and the color will swim neatly around and across the butt. If you still cannot get the color similar to mine, you are fxxked!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 tanning salons in singapore is seriously overpriced. i think natural tanning is of course still the best, but if time doesn't permit and i have money to spare, i will go tanning salons.i have also tried fake tan. those self-tanning cream. if you do it correctly and get a good one, the tan can last a week without streaking. but the whole process is a chore.

sgboy82 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Suntanningstudio (www.suntanningstudio.com.sg) is the cheapest among the 3 tanning salons in Singapore.I am paying a monthly fee of $70 for unlimited number of tanning sessions for 3 years. Of course, this promotion was loooooong over. You can pop by the studio to ask them about the price and latest promotion.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 sigh...my tan don last long....my skin turned reddish orange after sun-tan...then it becomes pale after sometime....so sad...I think that is normal for starters. Alternatively, you could have tanned for too long till you are sun-burned. Alot of people think they can achieve a tan the next day if they stay longer under the sun. In the end, what you get is not a tan but burnt skin. No point in over tanning, once you get burned, your skin peels, you are back to square one with fresh pale skin. Its better to do it slowly over a period of time. After every tan, moisturizer have to be applied coz the skin can get very dry and starts peeling even without a burn. Once your skin gets accustom, the peeling stops.I chose fabulous tan for their convenient locations. They have many packages and if you can find people to share the package with you, the price per tan is actually quite reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerra Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 the one with the most publicity and celebrities going should be Fabulous. but i have been signing packages with sun tanning studio for yrs. so far so gd thats why don't bother to go elsewhere. they have gd discounts during holiday period or your birthday. i usually wait for their 10 + 10 package. although they have rules that u can only use tanning lotion bought from them. but buying them from ebay is definitely much cheaper. i remember i bought 2 bottles of tanning lotion; step 1 and step 2 the first time i sign up with them. its about $300+ just for the lotion. subsequently i have been buying from ebay. it cost less then a hundred plus shipping. i still have many unused sessions which is going to expire soon. pm me if you would like to try out.

ixmog Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 @Chunky MunkeyI had signed up with Bronz and I don't think I wanna change for the moment. Fabulous Tan is definately out of my consideration as it is the most expensive. Thanks for the suggestion. if u need volounteers to apply on the front let me know.....or the staff would likely fight over the chance already.ha ha ... I don't need extra service to apply lotion on the front. Applying on my back is good enough. Anyway, I tan nude. I never like tan lines. I'm now in the process of getting a base tan to even out the tee shirt tanlines I got it from the Phuket trip. Hmm ... I quite satisfy with the result after 2 sessions. I'm getting that golden bronze tan. Seriously, I'm not into those pro-bodybuilder tan colours. They had deep dark brown tan which I think it's too extreme. Isn't golden brown french fries or McNuggets tan colour nice ? I'm using a tanning lotion named Dark Secrets by the brand Swedish Beauty but also manufactured by the company Australian Gold. This lotion has a 3 times bronzer DermaDark which doesn't stain clothes or streak your skin if it wears off. Not like some sunless tanning lotion which leaves your skin orangee or yellowish colour with streak pattern on your skin when it wears off. It has a mild light frangrance of cocoa butter which doesn't empower one's nose. It is also moisturizing and so it's good to leave it on after the tan till end of the day I get a shower. A good recommended product for indoor tanning. Anyway, Australian Gold is the main company manufacturing tanning lotions for the brand Swedish Beauty, California Tan and Carribeen Gold. Buying tanning lotion from the Internet is much cheaper. After tanning, in order to keep the tan, I need to maintain my skin well moisturized. There are after tan lotions which they calledit Tan Extender. Basically, these lotions are moisturizer made from hemp seed or sunflower seed. Some moisturizer has additional bronzer in it. Therefore, you get another boost of bronze. Anyway, I'm using the Carribeen Gold Pretty 101 tan extender moisturizer. Also, lightly frangrance. Finally, I do not know, will I catch more attention in the gym's men locker room when I take off my clothes. Vanity ? I don't deny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
