So I've been going back and forth in my head about whether to go to a tanning bed a few times before the wedding or if i should just try a spray tan (never had one before). I was worried about the spray tan not giving me a natural look, who I should go to yadda yadda. so I kept putting it off and thinking that I would just go tanning a few times before, despite it not being good for my skin, what could a handful of sessions hurt?
But my friend just got a job at the Red Door Spa in Bellmore and said she could get me a discount if I wanted to try the airbrush tan, so I thought why not? Well i got it last night and I love it!! I think it came out so good and it really looks natural!! FH thinks so too and he was originally against it!
I have to check how it looks tomorrow to make sure I still like the shade (they usually spray 2 days before wedding) so I'll report back tomorrow, but so far looks great and I'm wearing a white tank under my sweater today and its smudge free! :)
Thought it might be useful for a mini review in case anyone else was on the fence like me!

Just thought I'd add: Do NOT use Dove soaps in the shower. They have something in them that creates streaks. Glad you enjoyed it!
Really?? I used Dove mosturizing body wash for both my showers and I have zero streaks. (and I've looked very carefully for an extended period of time lol admiring my tan in the mirror )
Going to keep an eye out the next few showers though.

I think salt and water removes spray tans, so if you're going on your honeymoon after the wedding and going swiming you might get uneven blotches coming off. Since sweat is salty, do you see any discoloration under your bra line? Is the inside of your bra around the underwire part turning orange? Thanks!

Saw none of that! I checked my bra and tshirt under the arms after a very sweaty workout and I was fine. :)
