Got an AIRBRUSH TAN Today!!! (UPDATE at Bottom for Day 2...)

...it came out amazing!!!!!

I've tried all kinds of self-tanners, my skin is super fair & don't like to bake in the sun, so I usually rely on them.
It is near flawless (one minor mark under my armpit b/c I wore deoderant). I'm quite dark, when I take a shower tomorrow I will be a little lighter, it fades day to day.
I went to Dakotah in Woodbury, my clients recommended it to me.
Word of warning: You must have NO SHAME when you do it- all you wear is a tiny disposable underwear and nothing else while you're standing there getting sprayed (which I knew)!
I'm hoping it looks this good over the next few days, I'll keep you posted!!!

That's great! Let me know if it comes off on your clothes...I would like to do it for the wedding...but I would die if it came off on my dress.

It comes off your clothes a little bit on the first day, but if you do it like 3 days before the wedding, I'm sure it's fine (at least that's been my experience w/ others).

Def let us know.. I am fair too and was considering this option-- but am worried about staining my dress.. Also, thought maybe the usual fake bake would not be too bad as it will give me a base for the HM.

UPDATE for girls that were interested:

~OK, so I took a shower this morning & as I expected I saw lots of the tanner run down the drain.
~My color is about 1- 1 1/2 shades lighter than yesterday (it was DARK yesterday). Looks good, natural, even. Face is a bit lighter than rest of my body, which is fine.
~I wore a white t-shirt today specifically so I could see if a lot comes off on the clothes...
Good News! My t-shirt was ok, my bra had a bit of tanner rub off on it, that's normal though. I expect by tomorrow it will be ok.
I plan on doing the airbrush tanning 3 days before the Wedding, that should give enough time to let the stuff wear off so it doesn't stain my dress (not that I'll be wearing it again

).
I'll keep you posted on how long it lasts, staining, etc..

I got it done @ Dakotah Salon/Spa in Woodbury. There's a couple of women who I believe lease space there to to the airbrushing. It so cheap- $50. Worth it!
