For this the answer is a very simple 'Yes', 'No', 'Maybe'. We may not sound firm, but that is because the exercise of 'erasing' the stretch marks by tanning is a total trial and error choice. So if you have the intent of visiting a tanning salon with the question 'is it okay to go in with stretch marks?', our answer too remains vaguely firm on the intent, but a very firm 'no' on the ultimate outcome. To site our conviction, let us state that neither lying in the hot sun or in a covered tanning salon will help in covering the scars, and let us not be mistaken about stretch marks not being scars.
Let us be clear that the stretch mark will be less prone to catching the tan, whether from the open sunlight or from a monitored UV Ray exposure. The end result would be that your overall skin would become a shade darker, with the possibility that the stretch marks would even stand out further. The alternate is that the stretch marks would grab some of the tan, not as much as the normal skin, so technically we would be back to square one on the end objective. Sometimes, the marks do get a tanned blend but for a limited time, and when the skin does away with the tan, the stretch marks are not able to shrug-off the tan, and hence appear even darker.
But why are we posing the question 'would it be okay to go to a tanning salon having stretch marks?' presuming that a woman would want to go only with the sole intent of covering them with a balanced tan. If the stretch marks are an embarrassment and need to be 'disguised', then by all means use a self-tanning lotion or spray, or you could visit a 'spray tan' salon where the tan is air-brushed by a trained professional for a more even coverage. This can give you the summery tanned look, but only temporarily. However, the procedure is quite safe, and workable. A woman with stretch marks can visit a tanning salon with the intention of obtaining a glowing tan in the visible areas of the body, and exercise some precaution of covering the scarred area with a towel. After all, when you visit a tanning salon with stretch marks, the idea and purpose is for the benefit of coming out with a glowing look, minus any complication in the hidden areas.

Is There Ultra Violet (UV) Sun Rays Free Tranning
Ultra Violet (UV) Rays are reportedly the leading cause of skin cancer and the biggest source of annoyance for the tan lovers. For people who want that glamorous tan through cosmetic or medical purposes involving prolonged exposure to the UV rays, indoor tanning solutions are the best options. The good news is that these indoor UV free tanning agents, available as creams, sprays, or lotions, produce very similar results as sun tanning, without subjecting your skin to the harmful UV rays of the sun. In addition, these agents achieve the results in much lesser time than the traditional means. Following are the main types of UV free tanning products:
Products with DHA
Dihydroxyacetone or DHA is an active tanning agent, which is used in a broad range of products these days. It is considered a safe ingredient, as it functions by chemically reacting with the amino acids of the 'dead' cells in the epidermal layer of the skin. This also explains why such kind of tanning diminishes with time. The 'tanned' dead cells of the Epidermis are shed off and are replaced by new cells over a period.
Canthaxanthin products
Canthaxanthin finds key use as a synthetic food color, although, now a days it is being used as an oral tanning agent as well. FDA has not approved its latter use, since for tanning purposes, much larger quantity of Canthaxanthin is required than that in its use as a coloring additive in edibles. Moreover, this substance deposits itself below the epidermal layer and is linked to serious medical conditions, such as hepatitis, adverse effect on digestive system, and skin damage.
Melanotan products
A synthetic form of Melanotan hormone has also been found effective in creating a tanned look without exposure to UV rays. The hormone is taken as an injection. The use of Melanotan hormone is still in the stage of clinical trials and is not available commercially.
Bronzers
These are considered the safest tanning option, as they produce an effect, which is totally superficial and washable. However, they suffer from similar disadvantages as cosmetic makeup. Bronzers should be applied very carefully and in an optimum quality, as they carry a risk of being smudged onto the clothing. It is always advisable to test for possible staining before putting on your clothes.
UV free tanning can be done in a spa, tanning booth, or at home. If you are trying the products at home, you need to follow these steps for effective tanning:
Take a bath.
Exfoliate your skin.
Shave for a smoother tan.
Dry your skin completely.
Choose a place, which is cool so that you do not sweat during your tanning session.
Use a convenient form like lotion or spray.
Take someone else help if needed, especially for the hard to reach areas.
Do not take a bath or shower immediately after tanning. Depending upon the type of product, you may have to wait anywhere between 2 hours and 8 hours.

A Short Summary Of Fastin Hi Tech Diet Pill
Fastin is the latest fast acting diet pill from Hi Tech Pharmaceuticals. It works by increasing your metabolism's ability to burn more calories through the action of Phenylethylamine, which is a naturally produced chemical that has been linked to the regulation of physical energy, mood and attention.
The BBC News also reported that Scientists may have identified a chemical which could explain why exercise is an anti-depressant. Until now, it has not been clear why exercise has that effect but doctors from Nottingham Trent University suggest the chemical phenylethylamine could play a part.
In 1959 phentermine first received approval from the FDA as an appetite suppressant. Phentermine hydrochloride then became available in the early 1970s. It was previously sold as Fastin from King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham. Medeva Pharmaceuticals sells the name brand of phentermine called Ionamin and Gate Pharmaceuticals sells it as Adipex-P.
Phentermine is also currently sold generically. Since 1959 there have been almost no clinical studies performed. The most recent 1990 study combined phentermine with fenfluramine and became known as Fen-Phen.
A study published in 1992 stated that Fen-Phen was more effective than diet and exercise with few side effects, but by 1997 after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the market at the request of the FDA. Studies later proved that nearly 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve findings. The FDA did not ask manufacturers to remove phentermine from the market.
Phentermine is still available by itself in most countries, including the U.S. but because it is linked to amphetamines, individuals may develop an addiction to it, and it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries.
Generally, it is recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that phentermine should be used short-term (usually interpreted as 'up to 12 weeks'), while following nonpharmacological approaches to weight loss such as healthy dieting and exercise.
However, recommendations limiting its use for short-term treatment may be controversial. One reason given behind limiting its use to 12 weeks is drug tolerance, whereby phentermine loses its appetite-suppressing effects after the body adjusts to the drug. On the other hand it has been shown that phentermine did not lose effectiveness in a 36-week trial. Due to the risk of insomnia, it is generally recommended that the drug be taken either before breakfast or 1-2 hours after breakfast.
Like with many things, it is always prudent to check with a physician before starting any kind of diet or exercise.
