I am ghostly white and need everyones opinion. Which is better, going to a tanning bed or using self tanning lotion. I need some color before the wedding or I will blend into the dress. Also does anyone know who has an open tanning bed in Suffolk County or Nassua (around Jericho or Hicksville areas). Help!!!
A salon near me (in Brooklyn) has an asthetician apply the self-tanner by Aveda, which looked natural and I am as white as a ghost. By all means, go for a trial long before your wedding.
I think a tanning bed is a lot better. Well, for me anyway. I'm not ghostly white, but pretty pale if I don't go to the tanning salon. I love to go because I get so dark. I don't spend a lot of time in the sun, so a tanning salon is the best way for me. I'm definitely going to go to the salon starting 2-3 months before my wedding. The lotions I've found, make you look orange, they rub off, and I would not recommend it with a white wedding dress. It's sure to wipe off on there. The tan doesn't last long with either of them. If you stop using them for a week or more, your tan will diminish quickly. I'm sure there are girls here that have used more expensive lotions that don't rub off, or look orange. I just prefer the bed. I also only do it for special occassions since I don't like the idea that I'm buring myself with ultraviolet rays. Some people don't have the time to go to a tanning salon. I know for me, I always had to go 3 times a week for a couple of months to get the tan I wanted. Are you able to get tanned, or is your skin too pale? It might be a waste of money to do either one? I have pale skin throughout the year unless I'm in the sun. But when I am in the sun, I get really dark. I love having a tan. I feel better, and I think I look better with a tan. Good luck!
I used Neutragena spray (light to medium) this summer and it worked very well. Its very subtle. What I did, is about once a week when I got out of the shower I would spray it on my legs (or anywhere else you want) and then rub it in. IMMEDIATELY!!! Wash your hands - they will turn color if you do not.
I have also been to tanning salons in college and they are fine too.
Either way...experiement now and then continue with what you are happy with until your wedding.
good luck
Thanks for all your help. I think I am going to try Hollywood Tan, I think they have the dome booths. Thanks again
