I have the airbrush tan done at my spa/salon. It's great and it looks natural. A technician airbrush sprays your body. It is in two stages...one complete body spray...has to dry then 3 hours later another spray. In 12 hours there is a beautiful golden "tan".
If I don't feel like going thru all the fuss at the spa I use, believe it or not Neutrogena micro mist spray. I have to say this is a great alternative and gives the same results. The color is natural and even and it does ot rub off on clothes like other self tanners do. If you do go this route, do not use this in your bathroom...the fumes will knock you out - just like the fumes at the spa. It's the same stuff, except you spray yourself and you don't have a ventillation system sucking up the self tanning fumes. So What I do is put on a bathing suit and go outside and spray. Then you must let it dry...this is with any self tanner, takes 5 minutes. Then you cannot shower for 12 houirs after self tanning. Shower before but do not use a moistruising soap or moisturise after the shower. After 12 hours shower then moisturize...it will make yhou tan look better and last longer. The micro mist is much better than tanning creams...more even and n atural color. Mystic tan I think works the same way. I think you go in a booth and your body is sprayed???
I have never tried Mystic Tan but I do like self tanning. Since you are on the paler side, I would ask about the color. You could try Neutrogena, wich comes in shades. Try #1 or 2 first. If you don't like the color take a bath and exfoliate it off.
