Tanning Question...
Alright, so I am going to Prom on May 24th, 2008 and I really wanted to get tanned and stuff to look nicer since my dress is bronze. I was wondering what would be better a spray on tan or use a tanning bed (is it too late, would a month make a decent tan?) I do get sunburned a little easier, so i dont know if thats of use, i just figured i wouldnt stay in the tanning bed that long if i chose that.

i would recommend using a tanning bed because mystic tanning makes you orange and splotchy. my brother did it and it looked absolutly horrible. after a couple days it started to ware off, but only on some parts of his body. his arms were an uneven orange tone, and its noticable, so i would not do that. especially before your prom.
you will for sure get a bronze color in a tanning bed by the end of the month. it looks really good, so its worth trying it out.
you said you get sunburnt, so just start out at a low time, like 5-7 minutes if that. and then you will gradually increase the time little by little and you should be fine. make sure you put lotion all over your body though.
there are good tanning lotions at the place, but depending where you go they can run pretty expensive. so if you dont want to spend much money, i would say you can buy some lotion at wal mart or target and places like that. get one that has bronze on it, and that will speed up the process as you tan.
have fun at prom!

If you have fair hair and fair skin DO NOT use the tanning bed. It can give you burns. A tanning bed would give you an alright tan in a month depending on how often you use it (Dont use it everyday though).
If you are going to use a tanning bed only use it for 2-3 mins the first and second time, third time you could try 5 minutes and go up each time. DO NOT go over 10 minutes, this is when you start to burn and peel even if you have dark skin your skin can still peel, which wouldnt look very attractive in a prom dress lol.
I would go for a spray tan, that way it is even all over your body and less harmful than tanning beds. Go for a spray tan a couple of days (3-4) before prom. Sometimes having a spray tan can turn abit orange at first but if you do it a couple of days before it has a chance to fade a little.
I would suggest going to a salon where you are thinking of having it done and asking whether they have different shades of spray tan that they use and ask her advice of how long before prom you should get it done.
Hope this helps, sorry its so long and have a great prom
