Wedding in 10 days, i have tan lines, is there a quick fix?

Sara, on August 17, 2021 at 10:45 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
Okay so something I did not think about....tan lines! Wedding is in 10 days and I have tan lines. thankfully my dress has straps and my shoulders ones should be covered but I'm worried about my chest a bit as my dress is a bit low. Also my back! My lower back is white and my upper back is tanned....my dress is low cut. Help!
What do I do? I have never been to a tanning salon or used any kind of tanning product. I don't own any kind of makeup and really don't want it rubbed off on my dress.

    Id say go lie topless in a tanning bed 5 or 6 times, and it should even out close enough to not be noticeable!

    If you find a highly rated tanning salon, they could definitely use a spray tan to even things out. It may not be 100% perfect, but should make it much less obvious!

    That's true, but I am really against tanning bed because of how bad they are for you

    Go to a tanning salon that hand sprays. They can customized the color for you and place and blend where the lines are.

    Also echoing a HAND-SPRAY tanning salon.

    Stay away from tanning beds, they are bad for your skin and your health (wrinkles and cancer).

    Don't be scared of tanning solutions. Gone are the days of orange.

    A highly-rated airbrush tanning salon that does application by hand will be able to fix it no problem.

    Timeline: spray tans look best on day 2 after application. If you can, get an appointment for two days before - so if you're marrying Saturday, try to get in on Thursday. You will want to be able to shower off and lotion up Friday after the tan has developed, and it will settle in over the next 24 hours.

    For flawless application, about 6 days out, exfoliate your whole body every other day, and moisturize the heck out of yourself really, really well every day. Exfoliating every other day will gently remove any old skin (you don't want to overexfoliate either! Damaged skin does NOT take tan!) and moisturizing will make sure your skin is nice and hydrated. Happy hydrated skin takes tan solution beautifully.

    Going a few times in your life isn't really bad for you but I get it, to each their own. Good luck!
