It is called a sun tan reflector.

 

You may want to contact this seller on Etsy about it.

Are those the one's that look like an aluminium foil covered square that you see people holding under their chin to reflect the suns rays onto them when they are lounging back on a deck chair ?

Tanning is very bad for your skin, Michelle.

 

Tanning your face makes you look so much older too

 

That's what make-up is for IMO

Do you want to use it on a artificial tanning sunbed? As you said 'old fashioned' and there aren't any available, perhaps they don't use them anymore with modern tanning sunbeds?

 

Same goes if it is for tanning in the sunlight... they may not be made anymore. Probably not safe to use.

michelle, with the way things are today about Suntans & how bad they can be for you, why would you want one ??  Just go outside for  5 mins and do it that way.  Go ask your Doctor about it and I can guarantee he / she says it's just ridiculous.

Ps, Why not make your own??  Aluminium Foil wrapped around a piece of Cardboard cut into a Circle, place around neck and Presto !!!!!  Instant 3rd degree burns. Please remember to cover your eyes. Great idea if you want to look like a Potato Chip.  Please do this in the privacy of your own backyard as the neighbours may call 000.

Yeah, dunno what they are called, but all you need to do is get a bit of cardboard, wrap al foil around it, and you are done.

 

Hell, you might be able to sell them, some people will probably pay heaps for them Smiley Very Happy
