Tanning...

[hunniebee724]

Has anybody tried the Liquid Sun airbrush spray tanning? The place that's doing my hair & makeup offers it, and I was thinking about getting it done before the wedding. I tan easily, so I know I'm going to have a very uneven tan by August, and I'm thinking this will help even it out.

k....week 4 of tanning beds 3 x/week still not very much color..mostly freckles in the face....the body has A SLIGHHHHHHHHHT tone difference..but for 4 weeks...really not impressed!

 

Do some people just not tan in tanning beds? With the sun I tan, not a lot but def. darker than this...much faster results with the sun.....

 

whats up with my skin?

Hi there,
I think it probably has to do with how long you are actually going for - if you aren't burning you can continue to increase the amount of time you go in for (slowly). I am finding the progress to be slow but there is a definite difference (after about 2 wks) - people are starting to notice. I don't ever get very tanned (I usually wear lots of sunscreen...) so maybe my expectations are lower...You should be seeing a difference though, maybe see if you can go for longer amounts of time. Good luck!

are you using an accelerator lotion? i've heard that this can make a huuuuuuge difference. i have just a very basic one (they get pretty fancy and pretty expensive) and am having good luck with it - and i start out pasty white! sounds like you could probably increase the length of time for each session, too. also, you might want to ask the people at the salon for advice?
