Tanning (fake - spray on) in PV??

[Duchess]

A lot of ladies wont like this idea, but I find it okay for special occasions. What I do is fake tan in a bed a couple of times, with a mystic tan on one of the tanning days. It gets me up there in color without being all fake orange etc. While I know tanning isnt good for you, I also tend to burn in the sun without a base tan, even with sunscreen. You know, anywhere you miss, or after it starts wearing off etc. I did this before a cruise and was able to be in the sun without really burning. Plus you know we will all get some color in PV, and I would think a fake tan or two wouldnt be any worse. But thats just my humble opinion. I know a lot of ladies dont like fake tans.

Jamie, I agree with you. While controversial (fake baking), I think going to a tanning bed a couple of times before leaving can be a quick way to start on a base tan. One word of caution: don't over-do it the 1st time you go! It was suggested to me (also super pale) not to go for more than like 10-12 min the 1st time to avoid frying yourself.
