xObEaChbAbEoX answered Sunday March 1 2009, 2:58 pm: I have gotten spray tans before, one just a couple of weeks ago. People in my school noticed I got a spray tan, but honestly, I thought it looked good, besides the fact that it was kinda blotchy (but I didn't rub in the stuff very well) There's three types of levels. I have gone with a level 2, so if you are considering a spray tan, I would recommend a level 1. [ xObEaChbAbEoX's advice column | Ask xObEaChbAbEoX A Question ]

PinkLady4863 answered Saturday February 28 2009, 10:30 am: it all depends on 3 thing:
1. preparation
2. where you get your spray tan
3. how you care for your tan
Preparation is so important when getting a spray tan! Poor preparation can make your skin look blotchy, and the discolored. If you follow these steps, you're tan should turn out great...
-take a hot shower before you go
-while in the shower, be sure to exfoliate. You can do this by using a harsh loofa or apricot scrub. Be sure to scrub extra hard on your elbows and knees. Dead skin leaves blotches after a tan,
-DO NOT put on lotion, deodorant, perfume, or makeup before you get your spray tan.
-When you get into the booth, they will have barrier cream. Put a good aount on elbows, rough spots on your knees, palms, your knuckles and nails. This will prevent the "orange hands" and brown elbows that some girls get.
The place you go to is very important. Don't use Mystic Taning, it only gets your front and back, and has the potential to look reallt orange. If you can fine a spray tanning booth that does your front, back, side, and other side that is much better. There is a place out by me called Excel tan, if there is one near you I recommend it.
The absolute best you can do for spray tan is to get an Airbrush tan. It's the same price as a regular spray tan at most places, but it is PERFECT and lasts for weeks.
Now for the aftercare of your tan...
Do not shower until the next night so the tan can sink in. The color you wake up with, is not the final result so don't panic if it is a little darke than you expected. When you shower, lightly rinse the tan off. DO NOT use anything rough to scrub it. The tan that is left is your final result. Use lotion daily to etend the length of your tan.
Andreaaaa answered Friday February 27 2009, 9:00 pm: It depends on the persons skin tone when they get the spray tan.
Some turn orange...for some it looks natural...others fake
If your thinking about getting it done, go to the place and talk to them about which color they think would look good on you with out turning you orange. Their usually pretty good at it :)
