Who has done the spray tan?

We have an event tomorrow night and I'm finally feeling better about myself now that I've lost a lot of baby weight, but I'm pasty as all getout.  I am anti-tanning, but I've set up an appointment to get airbrushed.  I am so nervous!  Who has done it (starting out pasty white), and how did it turn out?  Also, how often do you have to go?  They told me every couple weeks, but I'm figuring I'll just do it for the summer and only before big events.

I really want to but have been to chicken to try it. And I glow, I'm so pale!

i used to do it but i was also tanning too so i dont know what its like to go from pasty to spray tan. ive been wanting to try it again though [im pasty white now too]. i think the most important thing is to make sure you wipe yourself off on every nook and cranny so it doesnt look blotchy or streaky. if i remember right you start with your knees and go to your feet, then your arms, and then the rest of your body. but im sure the workers will tell you how too!

I did! It worked great, but I had to do it at least once a week in order to maintain it. It looked a tad bit orange the day I got it done, but it wasn't terrible. I really liked it.

I've done it. Just ask for the lowest level of color since it's your first time and you don't have a tan yet. Also, make sure you wipe off really well once your done.

This sounds silly, but if you can go bra-less for a little while afterward and wear a loose top it will help the color from settling where your bra straps lay.

I did it twice-for my friend's wedding where I was a bridesmaid and for my own wedding. It turned out great. You have to leave the stuff on your skin for a while and not shower so it has a chance to absorb so you will look very Jersey Shore for a while....I suggest you do it after any other errands you have to do! Mine turned out great. Loved it, and I was very pasty to start with.

Oh, my friend did the spray tan in the booth and hers turned out splotchy and horrible. so I would stick with the kind where they airbrush you by hand....which is what it sounds like you are doing.

I've had it done also the one thing I would say is make sure your not wearing any lotion it can make the tan turn a funny colour.

Enjoy!

Did they recommend exfoliating before hand? I've heard that some recommend that before you go in. Double check if they have some instructions for you.

i have.  i really liked it.  i was no amazed i wasnt orange afterward.  it actually looked pretty natural.  and i'm super pale.  I went every week to keep it looking ok and i wanted it to be a little darker
