    Default Spray Tanning - not for competition

    Has anyone gone to the salon to get a spray tan? I was thinking of doing this rather than baking for the next couple of weeks, but am afraid of turning orange or having it wear off so that I look scaly. lol

    I seriously avoid the sun. I climb IN my coffin at sunrise. So when I "had" to tan late last year, I opted for a spray tan. Well, I got a big ring worm on my thigh, about 4 weeks out from a show. The color lasted about 7 days and the ring worm 3 weeks

    I think the majority will provide better feedback for you. I wasn't very lucky first time out.

    I would like to know others experiences with spray tan too. It seems much more simpler than having my hubby "paint" me days in a row! I over heard a girl at a show last year say she got spray tan...I really wasn't impressed with her color though. Maybe it was just her skin tone?

    I get sprayed for the show and wouldn't do it any other way - but I'm talking about a regular recreational tan so that I don't look pasty. Not competition tan.

    That's what I was afraid of - the funky smell. I've used Este Lauder self tanner which I love as far as color goes, but the smell is pewwy.

    I tan quite easily and am thinking I'll just go lay in the bed for a few days.

    I wasn't happy with spray tans. I didn't feel it was dark enough. I tan easily, too, and two-three times in a tanning bed was better than the spray thing.

    I did mystic tan once - like 3 layers of it - for the price I wasn't impressed. I think in the future they are going to "outlaw" these sorts of systems where you're blasted w/ the spray stuff in an enclosed area. I dont' know how well they are ventilated.

    For just simple spray on, I still like Neutrena Mist (or whatever its called). Primarily because I can spray myself w/ pretty good luck. I can't do the foam stuff and get my back evenly.

    Otherwise I think JanTana or Protan have 'every day tan' (non competition) products.

    Spray tans are really popular here. Occassionally I get sprayed with a brand called 'techno tan'...in the chocolate brown colour. I think the secret is finding somebody who does alot of them and is really good at it.

    I do Mystic Tan in the summer- I'm only about one shade darker than Casper- and I love it. I didn't notice that I smelled funny. Hopefully, neither did anybody else. I've not had any problems with it looking scaly, either. My favorite part about it is that you're in & out in just a few minutes, and don't have to get all sweaty & gross then put clothes back on.
