I'm going on a short cruise in a few weeks, and my legs are glaring white. I've tried the lotion tans, but they just don't go on evenly no matter how careful I am.

Has anyone tried a spray tan? And what about the airbrush tans? Let me know how you liked it, how long it lasted, was it worth it, what to watch out for, etc.

Thanks!!

I have not tried spray, but have used tanning beds for mid-winter or early spring sunny vacations.

If Dianne doesn't respond to this, you may want to ask her. She's just learned a trememdous amount of information about skin and skin products so she might be helpful.


Dag girl, now where are you going?

I'm afraid to use the tanning beds; such a quick blast of harmful rays can't be good for you. Do you have tanning beds that are considered safe? I haven't seen any out here.

Anyone with input, lemmeno. I don't want to cause an ocean-going accident because of the glare off my legs!

Funny. No, they aren't safe. I just decided that the few times I used them wouldn't hurt me.

I don't like the idea of a spray tan becasue I think about what it must do to our pores.

Yeah, I wonder about spraying chemicals/dyes onto my body as well, although I already put chemicals on my head every six weeks when I color my hair.

There's a tanning salon in town with beds (no spray) but I only used it once because it had super bright bulbs and I was burned after only being in there 5 minutes.

Hmmm, what to do...

A couple of my girlfriends that work as Showgirls here in Vegas, use the spray tans alot. They are mostly made from vegetable oils and are quite safe, few if any chemicals. I don't trust tanning booths as that is all fake and dangerous to the skin. You do burn too easy in them Dolphin, its true. I go out every day for fifteen minutes to feed the birds and let the dogs run and it keeps my a nice healthy color. I have never had a sun burn.

I'm thinking I'll try a spray tan before we go and see how it works and how long it lasts. Then if I like it, I'll get one right before we leave.

Chatty, we still on for dinner in a week?

Dancing Dolphin,

I have used the "Neutrogena" Spray Tan in a can , and it looks really natural on you and then you have the Lancome "Soleil Self tan for the legs . I have never used the spray tan from a Salon. Have a good trip and hope this helps .

Best ,
Renee
