What type of spray tan should I get?

I'm 14 years old. I'm Dominican. But I'm one of those white/orange Dominicans. So my face is white and stuff. I want to get a spray tan for my prom. But I don't want it to be so obvious. I mainly want to get it because my legs have dark scars from mosquito bites. But I also want that nice goldish/orange color on my face. But i'm afraid its gonna be sooo obvious and orange wherever I go. I heard about something called a mist.What type of spray tan should I get?
Don't get one of those orange tans you'll look like an oompa loompa


Just get out in the sun a bit and get a natural tanWhat type of spray tan should I get?
i would suggest a SunFX spray tan they r really good

Has anybody done the spray on tan from a salon? How long does it last? Do you recommend it?

I am fair skinned and looking to boost my color for summer. Does the spray on tan streak? Does it gradually wear off?


Is it worth the money you pay? How often do you have to maintance it?Has anybody done the spray on tan from a salon? How long does it last? Do you recommend it?
yes i did and i thought it was heaps good coz i didn't have to put on make up. if you go get a person to do it and don't go into a booth. if you go into a booth it will be uneven. if you want it to last put cream on every dayHas anybody done the spray on tan from a salon? How long does it last? Do you recommend it?
I had one done for my wedding you need to keep it on over night, which was ok apart from the fact that the one i had smelt like beef monster munch (whatever happened to them!) it was fine the day after but, the one i had went patchy when it wore off, not such a good look for the honeymoon!
my ex best friend did the spray on tan and it onyl lasted a few days less than a week and it didnt look right she had spots, so no i dont recommend it
I tried it once and was pretty happy with the results. I would do it again. It takes about 10 hours to start to show, then gradually fades away. I didn't have any streaking or turned a funny color of orange. It only lasts about 5-7 days. I would do it for a trip or a special occasion, but wouldn't try to keep it all summer. Hope this helps!

How do you get rid of a spray on tan?

I did this spray on tan and it looks really really bad. I did it yesterday. And I was wondering how you can remove it. Thanks!How do you get rid of a spray on tan?
Exfoliate. It won't get rid of it completely, but it'll help the process along a lot. You can exfoliate by rubbing the area with a loufa, or a mixture of sea salt and olive oil. Or you can do it by shaving.How do you get rid of a spray on tan?
Sit in a steamroom

  • How do I get rid of a bad spray tan? soap and water won't work...?

    The one I bought was specially made so it will NOT wash off with just soap and warm water.





    It's really not good and it needs to come off....how???How do I get rid of a bad spray tan? soap and water won't work...?
    Make a sugar scrub and a rough washcloth or a loofa-its easy and inexpensive to make one, here's the recipe:





    陆 cup white sugar


    陆 cup vegetable glycerin to moisten the sugar (I used avocado oil since you have to go to the health food store to buy the vegetable glycerin


    陆 tsp aloe vera gel,


    1 or two drops of essential oil if desired


    Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Scoop some of the scrub onto your hand and massage gently onto your skin for a minute (the scrub will actually tighten onto your skin like a masque). Leave on for 3 to 4 minutes before rinsing.





    Good luck!How do I get rid of a bad spray tan? soap and water won't work...?
    You will have to use a abrasive sponge and some really strong soap .. like Irish spring etc.. or even a Strong shampoo.
    try alcohol i had that happen to me last summer, and rubbing alcohol took it off good... hope it works


    cheers!!
    1/4 CUP LEMON JUICE TO A 1/2 CUP SUGAR AND SCRUB!
    if by bad you mean streaky, rub some lemon juice on the streaky parts and that should help losen it up and even it out. if by bad you mean orange, i'm sorry.
    You need to get Bad Spray Tan Remover.
    Call local tanning shops and ask them. Especially if you find one that has spray tanning. Otherwise, try tanning for real or a loofa sponge and a good scrub every day.

    Best place to get a professional spray on tan?

    Where is the best place to get an amazing spray on tan?


    Not one that will turn you orange; but one that is actually tan and lasts for a while.





    I live in Pennsylvania and before I go to the Caribbean this summer I wanted to get a tan. I NEVER tan in the sun, I'm almost like a ghost and I feel weird going to Caribbean islands with my family when I just burn and they all get beautiful tans.





    So; what is the best place that gives the best spray on tans?Best place to get a professional spray on tan?
    miami tan!?!!

    What is more dangerous tanning in the sun or a spray tan?

    ...the sun. UV rays will cause cancer.What is more dangerous tanning in the sun or a spray tan?
    The stupid sun is responsible for eighty percent of visible aging...EIGHTY PERCENT!!!


    I have religiously used sunscreen since high school...And I'm in my mid thirties now and I swear to God I get carded at R rated movies.


    Protect it...Believe me it is SO worth it!!


    If you want the best of both worlds, use a sunscreen that has a bit of self tanner in it. There are plenty of great ones out there for both face and body. Neutrogena and Jergens both come to mind.


    I use stuff that has Dihydroxyacetone in it...That is the chemical that causes fruit to brown. I'm sure that the are some out there that have crazy chemicals in them, but DHA is naturally occurring in nature and won't hurt.


    Forget that it causes cancer....It makes you look old!


    Spray away...That's what I say.What is more dangerous tanning in the sun or a spray tan?
    tanning in the sun because of the uv rays.


    but i wouldn't recommend a spray tan, you usually end up looking orange.
    spray/fake tan isnt dangerous atall, its just like putting on body lotion!!
    The sun causes skin cancer.








    ;/
    Well the sun of course
    Tanning in the sun is by far.....sad but true. There really is not much risk with spray tanning.

    How do i take off a spray on tan?

    I used Loreal's Subline Glow and now i have big blotches of orange! i have no clue how to get rid of it!How do i take off a spray on tan?
    Toothpaste...How do i take off a spray on tan?
    take lots of showers using deep skin scrub and try and sweat alot.(go running)
    Use an exfoliating body wash or scrub. Next time (if there is a next time) make sure to exfoliate before using the tanner (I like creams/lotions better than sprays) and then use a dry wash cloth or towel to buff areas like ankles, knees and elbows after applying. Also, make sure you pick the right shade. For example, if you are fair skinned, don;'t go for the medium or dark tanners, use one that says it is for fair skin. You also might do better with Mystic Tan (you can find them at some tanning salons- it's like a tanning booth you walk into for a few seconds and it sprays an even coat of tanner all over you). Best of luck friend.
    Lemon juice


    Just rub a lemon on it


    it sounds crazyy but it works

    It's bridezilla's day to shine, girl! And you don't want to risk looking ridiculous from a spray-tan mishap. As long as you look nice and healthy (which you should from 2 months of tanning)... you're fine the way you are.

  • What shall i do, im having a spray tan with older friends?

    I am in a school show and me, (13 yrs) and my friend (15yrs) are going with the principles, who are about 18.


    Im due on my period, can i wear my own underwear ?


    P.s i live in england, birmingham so it would be better if i could get some local answers please , but i dont mind any :)What shall i do, im having a spray tan with older friends?
    well you could wear your underwear but the spray tan will ruin them.


    Why not just try a tampon?


    I promise you will like them 100 times better than pads.What shall i do, im having a spray tan with older friends?
    well ofcourse you can! whose stopping you?

    How long will it take for my spray tan to wear off?

    i bought a bottle of spray tanner frm wal mart can i go to the tanning salon and can they fix the ';evenness'; and when will it wash off?How long will it take for my spray tan to wear off?
    if they do personal spray tanning, then yes, they could even out the areas. If they only have a spray bed, then probably not.





    I would recommend a scrub body wash to exfoliate your skin. After a few days of scrubbing, your skin should be back to newHow long will it take for my spray tan to wear off?
    It depends on how much rubbing and bathing you do. Spray on some lacquer to make it last longer.
    don't do it. i doesnt work at all. If you have to do it. Go to a salon not out of a spray bottle. It will come off in at least 2 or 3 days.
    Yeah they might be able to fix. A tanner you got from Wal-Mart, will probably be gone in about 2-3 days. It will begin to dissipate though if you exfoliate in the shower, and rub alcohol on the parts that are splotchy.
    if your going to a dance or something where you want to look tan i would just recommend getting a salon to do spray tanning on you.





    it isnt too much money, around 30 or 40 bucks and it last about a week or two.





    also if you dont want to look too orange tell them to go light or go to actually tanning beds.


    :] hope i helped!
    Ask the people at the tanning salon
    A salon spray tan will prob even out the tan but il will only cover up the streaky tan and once that wears off you'll see the streaks again it will prob take a week or under for the tan to wear off get a all over body exfoliate scrub, will help speed it up ( coming off) and then go get the salon spray.... :)
    if you want to fade it, use an apricot scrub, or an exfoliating glove.
    Spray tans usually last up to two weeks at the most.
    a couple of weeks it matters what brand
    most spray tans last 10 days , top up when it starts to fade dont over do it though. Exfoliate before you spray to stop it going streaky.
    I would also recommend going to the salon to do a spray tan. I have done this for a couple formals and military balls. But, a note of caution: the tan will stay even at most a week. After that it will start to wear off in places where your clothing rubs. If you do decided to go to a salon, ask them if they know how to completely remove the tan once it has started to come off. That way your not splotchy! : )
    they should be able to sort it out if they are professional sprayers. Usually the tan wares off after 2 washes, if you would like to keep it on longer dont scrub it in the bath or shower just dab it with a damp cloth.

    Do you think its risky getting a spray tan done the day before a wedding ( i am the bridesmaid)?

    I am getting sprayed at 6pm today and the wedding is at 3pm tomorrow they have told me the tan develops over 6 hrs but I am not sure about the whole thing, do you think its risky ?Do you think its risky getting a spray tan done the day before a wedding ( i am the bridesmaid)?
    Turn the bronzer knob OFF!





    I find that the bronzer can rub off on clothing. Also, it can accentuate any unevenness in the tan, leave streaks on the back of your legs if you towel off improperly, etc. But as long as you use the clear solution, you should be fine. I've never had a problem with it.Do you think its risky getting a spray tan done the day before a wedding ( i am the bridesmaid)?
    Yes, I think it is very risky! You could get blotchy (most common effect), you could turn orange or an ugly yellow.
    I'd say do it after the wedding, you might regret it.
    Provided you are using a reputable company you should have no problems. Just make sure you keep to the instructions given if you do not then you may come out patchy. Be sure that you do not select a deep tone if you are fair skinned.
    Not only yes,but HELL YES.
    yes, do it. But remember... it's important to look good, but you are NOT allowed to look better than the bride!
    If you still decide to get it done, make sure your skin is clean with no lotion on it or perfume...lotions can interfere with the way it turns out. Wait to take a shower till the morning so it has time to set. If it turns out blotchy in areas or dark around your elbows, use those exfoliating gloves (you can get anywhere) and a body exfoliator....you can pretty much get the whole tan off in a few minutes if you scrub well.
    I think it is very risky.





    Have you ever done it before? If its your first time I wouldn't do it the day before the wedding. Your skin may have a reaction to the tan and instead of being tan, you could turn out orange or red.


    Try testing it a week or two before the wedding and if it turns out nice then you know its ok to do it before the wedding. If not, you still have time to hit the tanning beds before the wedding.
    certainly risky
    Yes! What if something goes wrong? Do you want your friend to blame you for ruining her wedding? Wait until after the wedding.
    I would not do it if I were you. Especially if you have never had one before. If you have not exfoliated well you will stain in the lovely places like the elbows...knees and places like that!!!


    Good Luck!!! Tans ARE nice but not necessary for real beauty!!
    What are these people talking about?? I get a spray tan the day before I go to a wedding or anything all the time!! It is a beauty must!! I get so many compliments!
    I personally would have tried it a week or two before to see how it came out, but . I have seen very even results from it. So I think you will be fine and glowing. If there are any problems , you will know by midnight. And go first thing in the am.

    How long does a professional spray-on tan last for?

    Eg from beauty salon? Was going to Thailand for 10 days and look v nasty pasty white :) Also does it help cover up stretch marks etc? or should I save my money and go solarium style?How long does a professional spray-on tan last for?
    Solarium takes a fair few sessions to get brown. And it is terrible for your skin. I suggest get a spray tan the day before you go, and the morning you leave have a shower. If you dont have time for a shower, then get the spray tan 2 days before you leave and shower the day you leave. You have to wait about 12 hours before you shower. Also , before you go to the salon, make sure you exfoliate your whole body and shave your legs, etc so your skin is smooth. The colour will last longer. Also moisterise every day whilst away to keep the colour fresh and the skin smooth. They are supposed to last 2 weeks, but after about 10 days they start to fade. So i would definilty recommend getting a spray tan over solarium! Get to a good one though that wont make you go bright orange, Ask friends for recommendations for salons! Good luck, you will look tanned and fabulous for your holiday!

    I'm going to the dominican in one month for a wedding and i want to get a spray tan as i am quite pale?

    Can anyone tell me how many days prior to the holiday i should have one done. As its for a wedding i want a really good one. Could anyone recommend a good salon around covent garden / oxford st London?





    Many ThanksI'm going to the dominican in one month for a wedding and i want to get a spray tan as i am quite pale?
    HI hun, if i was you iwould get it done 3 days before you go, will give it time to calm down and look Fab!!





    It will look great just be carefull in and out the water, sometimes they streak!! Happend to me once, dint go to that salon again tho, and have been fine ever since





    Have a nice time chickI'm going to the dominican in one month for a wedding and i want to get a spray tan as i am quite pale?
    I would go twice, once for a base tan and another for a top up tan. The first one I would go for about 4 days before and the next on the day before. I do mystic tans (spray tan booths) before I go on holiday because I dont tan. Remember to moisturise to maintain your tan for longer.





    If you go too early your tan will have disappeared before you go on holiday.
    Well, i am not really sure but i am from Dominican Republic and recommend u to bring some very warm cloth bc over there it is very very warm good gl!!! :)
    The absolute best is the GlowFusion protein tan -- no streaks, no color all over the place, no orangey complexion, no mess. Spray on and wait. You will have a very natural tan that lasts for two weeks -- Tan Towels are a less expensive option of the same idea. check them out!!
    5-7 days before should be good- in case you mess up, you'll have tons of time to fix it. Also, if you're outside you'll be able to build upon your tan and it will look even more natural.
    about 1 week before the event is were you should get your tan!

    How much does tanning cost? and is tanning in a bed more effective than spray tan(mystic tan)?

    Mystic tan usually last for about a week or a week and a half and sometimes can be really high up keep. You also need a base tan, because if you don't, you WILL turn orange.





    Stand up booths are much better than beds. They have a shorter time you can be in there. Hollywood tans is probably the best, if they have it in your area.





    I pay monthly for mine, $19.99 for unlimited tanning. I usually go 3 times a week and I get really tan, I also only go in for 4-6 minutes, depending on the day.





    Also the kind of lotion you use prolongs your tan. They have tingles (which have a sting feelings, I dislike them) or they have bronzers. Only use the salon's lotion, if you don't you'll ruin the bed and the lotion won't do well on your skin. Their lotions are designed for their beds. If you used a lotion for a bed while you were in a booth it wouldn't work, since a bed's tanning time isaboutu 20 minutes, and booths are 5 (average)..





    After you tan is important also, banana boat or hemps (most salons have them) are amazing! They help moisturize your skin and keep it looking healthy!





    Don't forget ALWAYS wear goggles!

  • Should you put on lotion before going to get a spray on tan at Ultra Tan?

    I'm just curious what would allow for optimum results aside form showering, shaving %26amp; exfoliating. What should I expect when going to get spray tanned as far as how it works? Any other advice would be helpful as well. Thanks!Should you put on lotion before going to get a spray on tan at Ultra Tan?
    shower and exfoliate your skin throughly at least 3 hours before getting a spray tan.





    dont put any lotion on





    simply make sure your skin is clean and fresh

    Has anyone had a spray tan before? What is the application process when they spray you?

    You will be asked to stand in a booth with just pants on. The therapist will ask you to stand in different positions and will spray you. Then you will need to wait for it to dry a little. It normally takes about 15 20 mins.Has anyone had a spray tan before? What is the application process when they spray you?
    Spray tans just make you look orange and fake. just go sunbathing

    I need advice on a spray tan?

    I am getting a spray tan the day before a wedding? If it goes blotchy or dark in certain spots, what is the best way to blend it or get rid of the spots completely?I need advice on a spray tan?
    lemon juice and salt. although i would recommend doing this at least 3 days before the wedding as in the first 48 hours when you sweat it will come off onto your clothes as it sweats out of your pores.I need advice on a spray tan?
    lemon juice can. it also whitens your skin and hair
    i think lemon juice on the dark spots gets rid of them

    How do they do a spray tan in a beauty salon?

    i want to get a st tropez tan in a salon.





    how do they apply it?





    do they make you strip right down for a full body or like keep ur underwear on??





    just a curious question as i have never had it done before?





    would you reccomend st tropez??How do they do a spray tan in a beauty salon?
    Mine was a full body. Pants but no bra. They used a spray gun.





    I like St Tropez xHow do they do a spray tan in a beauty salon?
    I would recomend a mystic tan with is a temorally spray tan. You go in a room and completly strip down. You put this lotion in the booth on your nails so they dont turn orange. Put all of your hair in a cap but make sure the cap is really close next to the hairline so your forehead isnt half and half. Then press a button on the outside of the booth and it cleans it then you go inside and stand on this line and press a button and close your eyes spread your legs and put your arms up. hold your breath and keep your mouth closed. It goes up and down a few times then turn around and repeat...when its done dab your whole body with a towel so theres no streaks and your done
