Instant spray tanning at a salon?

[poohbear2]

Has anyone ever had this done? At some tanning salons they offer the tanning spray that goes all over your body. I guess it lasts about 5 days or so? I was thinking of doing this for my trip next week and was wondering if it looked good, lasted about a week etc.

I did this in November. I was pretty satisfied with the results. You must be sure to go at least twice(my "package" included 2 visits for the initial time) as they do miss spots that don't show up until your "tan" starts to appear in a few hours. I like the color I was - a nice tan color, not orangey at all. It was a sugar solution that reacts with your own skin so everyone get their "own" color. The color did last a week or so and faded gradually.

Only drawback is the price - $50 for 2 visits here in Mass. I've decided for that price I'm going to use self-tanner here at home as I've used a couple that I'm happy with the results.

I had it done before my cruise in November. I was very disappointed because it only lasted 3 days. It started fading after the first day and was totally gone by the fourth day. Definitely not worth the $54 I paid.

Snoozan,

What tanners do you suggest?
