safe way to tan/even out skin tone??

After getting an unfortunate sports bra burn/tanline this weekend, I started worrying about how to even out my skin for the wedding. My dress has. Beautiful low cut back and I can’t wait to show it off...preferably without the sports bra tan! I burn easily and my skin takes a while to fade if I do burn/tan, so I wear sunscreen daily and try to cover up. I am suspicious of spray tans and streaking/transferring, and really do not want to go to a tanning booth. I want to look like myself and not an abnormally tan version of myself since I’m never tan! Any tips or ideas on how to safely even out skin tone, get rid of unwanted tan lines, etc?

You could try using a tanning cream like Jergens. My mom uses them but I don’t have any person experience with them. How far away is your wedding?

If you want to try and lose the burn/tan, try an aloe lotion. We used them for sunburns when I was a child.

In my experience it just takes time for the tan/tan lines to eventually fade on their own. I’ve never figured out how to even things out. But if you’re getting married in June, that should be plenty of time! Just be extra careful over the next couple months to cover up and wear sunscreen.

I would go for an airbrush tan. The person doing it will be able to even out your lines. I've done them a few times and as long as you go 2 days before and shower you won't have any problems with transferring. I never have and wear plenty of white in the summer. Just make sure you go to a GOOD place and exfoliate well before you go.

I’m not getting married until June but my skin takes a very long time to heal or fade. I’m sure these lines will be gone but it just made me think about figuring out what to do and how to proceed in the next few months.

Good to know! I don’t know anyone who’s gotten one so it’s helpful to hear from someone who has tried it out.

I have a rather unfortunate tan line as well and my epics are in 2 weeks. Go figure. I'm exfoliating every other day and using jergens like it's going out of style. So far, it seems to be doing the trick. If not, thank God for a light bronzer

Try a tanning lotion from Ulta or Sephora and mix it in with regular lotion.... test it out to make sure it doesn't run (I've done this a few times)

Good idea. How long does it last? Have you noticed any transferring or streaking?

I have not (but I do exfoliate regularly so I recommend that too) but I also don't wear light clothing usually so I would definitely try it out with something before you put on a dress to make sure it doesn't transfer but I think the lotion helps prevent the streaking/make it even looking.
