it prob will go away by then....but you can go to a tanning salon also to even it out and cover the spots that are burned

It will probably fade out (depending on how very red the burn is). Make sure you moisturize, moisturize, moisturize - so you can avoid gross peeling!

I had a similar problem the week before the prom. I was told to use lemon juice and it will lighten the color. Good luck!!

I think there are some salon/spa places where they apply sunless tanner to you and I think some of them are pretty skilled at covering up tan lines.

I did the SAME thing on Saturday- I DID have sunblock on, so it's a tan line, not a burn line.
I used some self-tanner to try and even it out so I could wear a tank top without looking like a moron yesterday, but the self tanner didn't match the color of my natural tan (yet.)
It should fade by the time of your wedding - I wouldn't worry!
But remember- only spaghetti straps or tube tops from now til the wedding!

For anyone that has this happen, I did this on Friday and had my bachelorette party the next day. It was really bad. I went to Sephora and they gave me Warmth by Bare Essential. I brushed it over my chest and it completely covered it.

Try getting gradual tan by coppertone it doesn't give you the orangy color it brings out your natural pigment and does it slowly but you do notice a differnce after the first use and there are no streaks either

I would definitely leave it alone. You might make it worse trying to touch it up. I was in Mexico 10 days ago and my tan is almost gone. You should also exfoliate after the burn tans.

One of my friends had gotten a spray tan from one of the tannng salons...maybe that could cover it if it doesn't fade by then.

Your burn should fade by the time your wedding is here. I burn all the time too, and it's a serious concern I'm having. I'm thinking of trying a spray tan to see if that would even evrything out.
