Tanning?
Okay, so I work for a dermatologist as some of you know. I refuse to go in a tanning bed because of all of the skin cancers I see (not to mention the fungal infections I've seen from the beds). What lotions, foams, or spray tans do you ladies recommend if any? My e-party is coming up and I'm wearing a cream colored dress and I need to be tan in it. I've been sprayed by someone before and I felt it was just a waste of money!

The only one I've ever used that did not turn me orange was the jergens natural glow.http://www.jergens.com/products/natural-glow/default.aspx

Lately I've been using St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse. It works well for me, without turning my skin an orange color. It is tinted though, so I always put it on before bed and shower the next morning.

Try Tan Towel! I can't spray tan because I have olive skin and always turn orange. So I've tried everything and I love the results of tan towel

I was looking on the diamond card discount section and found Brazil Bronze Airbrush. Looks like they give a 20% discount with the diamond card! Just a suggestion if anyone else is interested :)

I've gone to beach bum tanning they offer a lot of packages and have coupons. I have done the airbrush tanning they will customize a color for you how ever dark or light you want to go. I have done it for weddings that I have been in before. I will most likely do it again for my wedding.

This! I go here on occasion, and they always do a fab job. When it comes to tanning creams and lotions, I say let the pros handle it. You don't want to show up to your party all orange and streaky.

I'm going to do it. The one and only time I got sprayed was the worst. I seriously couldn't wait long enough to get in the shower. I felt gross and wasted money because I NEEDED to shower. Part of me wants to just go tanning and hopefully my bosses don't notice, but I just can't do it!!

I asked my sister about this and she said airbrush is the way to go, but not in the stand up one, the one where someone sprays you!

I go to boca tans regularly and they have a great spray tan.....I know the others you reference as I used them in the past too and really felt like I wasted my money too. Hope this helps

I did a tanning booth I think 1 time. I definitely don't plan to tan for the wedding, this is what I look like, this is what it's gonna be! I am afraid of burning, orangey or anything else.

If its a first time def go someplace where a person actually sprays you and not a booth! My friend owns a spa in Bayport, Polished Skin Care Lounge and they do an awesome spray tan in a variety of colors!Welcome New Vendors
