Sunbeds in Dublin city center

NewFrockTuesday

Im sick of fake baking every week and have decided to use snbeds for a while just to take the blue/grey tinge off. Can anyone reccommend good clean sunbeds? Stand up preferably. I work in Dublin 8 - just off Camden Street and pass down to O'Connell via Suffolk Street on the way home.

Thanks.

You must be kidding! Sunbeds are a sure way to getting skin cancer.
Ask any dermatologist or your own GP.
Stay clear of them.
If you are unconvinced google skin cancer and sunbeds. You will get all the relevant facts and stats you need to support avoiding them.

Your skin is pale, deal with it there are worse things in life.

If you want to use them, then do not over use them. 1 session per week starting as 3 mins in teh stand up, increasing to 5 mins over5/6 sessions. Do not have more than 20 sessions per year. Always use a moisturiser - ask the salon staff for recomendations.

yes you MAY get cancer from sunbeds, you could also get it from the natural sun. The risks of getting it SOLELY from the sunbed would be slim.

The main danger is to those who become addicted to use - tanorexics

chartbusters on corner of kevin street and patrick street
i think thats what the roads are .. its at the end of new street approaching christchurch
they have em as far as i know

i for one do not condone the use of these.... they give off 15 times the UV that the sun does ... which is a hell of a lot ... meaning your about 100 times more likely to get melinoma i.e. skin cancer alot quicker
stay with the fake bake ... it looks alot nicer trust me

i go to one on D'olier (sp?) street they have both stand up and Ly down sunbeds.. tbh i prefer the stand up ones seem less claustrophobic.. they do packages like buy a half hour get one free.. hope this helps

I hope everyone condemning her for using sunbeds has never smoked a cigarette in their lives...

Just be smart and don't over do it.

No I haven't. Then that may be because I've watched people close to me die of cancer and know how dreadful a disease it is and can't fathom why someone would intentionally put themselves at risk.

Or even rickets.

Why exacerbate the risks of contracting melanoma by using sun beds?
Yes people who smoke are also increasing their risk of contracting cancer.
No I am not trying to be Mr Perfect merely offer an objective opinion on the matter.
It doesn't matter how brief the time period using the sun bed you are exposing your skin to a highly intense exposition to unnatural rays.
Stay awy from them and stick to the spray tan.
Don't let vanity take over from being healthy.

Same as. I can't fathom smoking any more than I can fathom sunbeds. Why any one would pay to endanger themselves so unnecessarily is beyond me.

They're everywhere OP, but if you must tan, I would strongly recommend that you use the Fake Bake. You'll be grateful in the long run that you invested the extra time to protect yourself.

I never smoked and while I have been in the sun it was for a walk and used suncream. Yes, you can get cancer without being on a sunbed or smoking but why increase your risk for the sake of vanity?

OP, sorry, people who are anti-sunbeds are not trying to get at you, they just care for your health.

Not true, the instances of skin cancers caused by regular users of sunbeds has been increasing hugely. And as a previous poster said, you do a hundred times more damage to your skin under those lamps than you would being out in the sun.
