just like when you're about to start working on a rare classic, there's a pre-beginning checklist you need to tick off; it's always prudent to have a practice run to ensure every tool is in place. when it comes to tanning, think of it as reawakening your skin's potential safely. always remember to disclaim any myths about the process being harmful by following guidelines and treating your skin with the care it deserves, just as you would treat a rare car's engine before revving it up for the first time.
