my friend swears by this place in the city that does hand airbrush tanning. Since applied by hand it comes out very even and she said after the first 8 hours pass it does not stain your clothes and you do not smell or look orange. I am still debating whether i should do the airbrush before my wedding still b/c i too dont like tanning booths. Here is the link if anyone is curious:
Sorry, I hate to be the buzzkill, but I feel compelled to caution against tanning beds. It is really sooo dangerous. I work in the beauty industry and I'm educated on this stuff all the time--and hear horror stories. They all claim to be UVB free...those are there rays that burn your skin. So they use UVA rays instead. Well, new findings show that UVA rays are even worse than UVB. They're the rays that penetrate your skin deep down and cause cancer. Most SPFs only protect against UVB rays (even outdoors). You need a broad spectrum with UVA protection..like Neutrogena helioplex or LaRoche Posay Anthelios. Now, I did my fair share of tanning beds in high school, but I wish I didn't and would never step foot in them again. Just my two cents.
i agree... you are basically cooking yourself --- not good!!! I got spray tan done for our wedding, and it looked very natural!!!
Ditto, Ditto , Ditto!! Use self tanner ladies or be pasty! I was damn pasty for my wedding and I think I looked great
ETA: I never ever tan so I'm used to be being very pale. Try the airbrush tan..a lot of people I know have done it and it comes out wonderful

I don't mean to kill your tanning experience.....but I just found out that I have skin cancer and when I asked the dr. 'why at 26 did I get this?' the first question he asked me was if I have ever gone tanning. I had....many times, especailly when I was at school.
Have you ever tried the spray tan? I am thinking that I am going to try this. My Dr. said that it is perfectly fine. He did say that I should try it prior to the wedding and take pictures to see how it looks in pics.
