Re: I'm sooooo pale....w/ poll

It is supposed to be really nice this weekend maybe you can lay outside for a few minutes...but nothing too long!! And be careful if you go tanning... some times you come out of there fried even if you only went for a short amount of time.

Re: I'm sooooo pale....w/ poll

I spray tanned( airbrushed by a person , not a machine, that make you look orange) at Brazil Bronze in Queens . The owner who sprayed me did a fantastic job and it looked completely 'real' . I did have somewhat of a base tan from going to the beach already and Dh was tan too, but I wanted an even color and i loved it

Re: I'm sooooo pale....w/ poll

ok so now i'm torn again!!!

can anyone recommend a place in the massapequa or seaford area?

Re: I'm sooooo pale....w/ poll

what about using one of those self tanning lotions? just be careful since some make you orange! i know some girls hate the smell, but i love jergens!!

Re: I'm sooooo pale....w/ poll

well i just called hollywood tans over by my house and i can do unlimited tanning for a week for $30 so maybe since it's not too expensive, i can do that maybe 2-3 times over the next week for just a few minutes at a time

Re: I'm sooooo pale....w/ poll

I don't think you should go tanning. I thought I was to light for the wedding and did beach bum spray tan..omg I can out looking horrible, and I did it 2 nights before. My D had stopped by just to drop off something and told me off, that how can I ruin our wedding, I looked horrible, how great I look in my own skin tone. I ran to the bathtub and showered it off. It all came off luckily. Not sure when your planning on doing your tan but make sure it is nowhere near your wedding. I would never again in my life do such a thing!

spray tans can look funky right after they spray you - its not until you wait the 8 hours (i go at night and wait until the next morning to shower) and wash it off that you can see what it really looks like - usually they put a bronzer into the spray so they can see where it was applied - its more a of a guide for the person spraying you, the actual color doesnt happen right away - it takes some time for it to react to your skin and tan you, so right after you leave that is not how you will look once you wait a few hours and shower....i always look super duper dark when he is done - like scary - then when i shower it comes off and then underneath is nice glow....

if i were you i probably would have showered too - you should test something like that out a few times before the wedding to be sure you like it.....you should never do anything new right before the wedding - no tanning, waxing, nothing crazy right before

I have had friends that have done the spray tan the night before and they have looked awesome the following day, but OMG I scared myself when I looked in the mirror. Thank God it washed all off. My DH would have been real real upset if I would have been that color for the wedding I don't know what I was thinking...I should have taken a picture before I showered...didn't think of it then

Re: I'm sooooo pale....w/ poll

i wouldn't bother. I only went for a little while with a short time and I ended up burning with less than a week til my wedding. Thank god it was my stomach and you couldn't see it, but when I took off my dress at the end of the night I had started to peel. be pale..its ok.
