Re: spray tanning

its great for the first 2-3 days, but then its gross. when it wears off, its gross!

maybe its just me...and maybe i was too rough in the shower, but i just felt splothcy....and my elbows, knees, etc...i just looked dirty

DH was totally grossed out by it and told me never to do it again.

Re: spray tanning

I loved it!! The first time I did it, it faded pretty naturally. The second time I did it (same place, same person, same everything) it started getting blotchy after a week.

The color looked very even and natural, didn't rub off on my clothing, and lasted a decent length of time!

I went to Beach Bum and did the custom airbrushing. HTH!

You only have to go once! Wedding on Sunday? I'd go Friday night. Don't plan on doing anything afterwards because for 6 hours you're gonna look like you've been rolling in mud. When they spray you it looks splotchy and kinda like you have some rare skin disease, but then you rinse off in lukewarm water 6 hours later and it looks much better. In the morning, you can take a real hot water shower with soap and the whole nine yards, though I'd still avoid loofah-ing. Then just make sure you moisturize a lot. It'll make it last longer.

At Beach Bum, it's $35 for first timers. This includes the color, glycolic toner (whatever that is), and some sealer thing or something. After that I think it was $40 each time and the toner/sealer are extra.

HTH!
