My Tan is NOT EVEN! Please Help Me!!!!

So I am standing in front of the mirror today and realize that I have the most UNEVEN tan in the universe. My face and arms are dark, my shoulders are tan, but I have straps of white from my bathing suits and my back is a bizarre design from the different bathing suits I have been wearing this summer!

What can I use to even it all out so I will not look ridiculous for my wedding? Please help! I am starting to have nightmares that I will look like a ZEBRA in my pictures!!!!

TIA

You have time to even it out. I normally would not suggest this, but maybe a tanning session would help? Those beds are so bad for you, but I am thinking of going even just once a week for the month of Sept until my wedding on the 24th to maintain the color I got at the beach this summer. At least it will get your whole body at once. Again, not a fan, but it won't hurt to do it a little bit. And remember, don't stress about your lower body being uneven, noone will see it!!!

I would do the same thing...
just go tanning once a week - no clothes - and you should be fine by the wedding. Also, I don't remember the brands, but they make products that are mostly lotion with just a touch of self tanner in them that supposedly evens out skin tone gradually. You'll be fine!

I wouldn't worry at all. You have enough time to fix it. I had BAD tan lines before my wedding and one day out with a strapless suit and one day at the tanning salon and it was almost perfect!

I would also say maybe a couple of trips to the tanning salon...

There is a good sunless tanner by Loreal... in a orange bottle.. it works great! I do think you ahve enough time too!

Don't worry you still have plenty of time before your wedding to fix and make your tan perfect! I would definalty get out in the sun as soon and as much as possible. Make sure that you take your staps down when sunning you should be able fill in the lines. Time yourself so that your back gets as much time in the sun as your front. Stay out there for more than a half an hour at a time and you should see it improve fast. If it's still not working I guess try the tanning salon. But I would try to fix it with the sun first, but that's only because I'm not a huge fan of tanning salons. Good luck!
