Angie, prolonged sun bed use is certainly dangerous, but I'd say if you're only gonna do this the once for an occasion, it's not going to do any harm. Do not use it more than every second day though, and start off at 5 mins. It might seem like nothing but you have to start very slowly as your skin doesn't tan well. And use one of the accelerators that they sell, the girl will advise you on which one, as they provide some protection while helping you to build a nice brown colour. My friend who would never tan in the sun did that and got a great colour. But don't make a habit off it; it really shows now on friends of mine that were always sun bed fiends; their skin looks considerably older than mine cos I've only used them to get a base when I'm going on holidays, maybe 3/4 sessions a year. And if you've any moles put sunblock on them.
