Spray Tans

[140905]

Does anyone know any salons/spa's on site or local to WDW that does spray tans?

It's a little known fact, but Florida suntans are somehow different than most others. Why? I really don't know. But take if from someone who lived there long enough to witness many tourists tanning/pre-tan attempts ... a spray will definately make you look different than the one's your guests/others will have from the Florida sun in your pics, in close comparison. Especially when illuminated by the camera's lighting. Just my opinion, but a thought nonetheless.

Do you get a spray tan now? Or is this something new you'r thinking of?
I agree that a spray tan will not look like a natural tan from the florida sun, but I can understand how you feel. I can't tan.... I am fair with freckles and my skin is so sensitive I just burn and peel. Not even tanning booth will work for me. But I do get a slight coloring on my lower arms and upper legs where exposed to the sun on a consistant basis. Everywhere else stays pale. So I get a spray on tan that goes on clear and some how work with your own body chemistry to give a natural looking tan. There are no bronsers in the spray so you don't get that orangish look. And how dark you get is different for every person, and it depends on how many sprays you get. For me since I am so fair I just get 2 or 3 sprays to even out my coloring. This does not give me a really tanned look. I know I'd look pretty funny with a deep tan look.

If you already use a spray tan then you probley like what you're doing and I would suggest google to find an online yellow pages and then look in that for spray tan services in and around orlando that use the same product.
If you don't use one now, then I would experiment with different companies and types of spray ons. See if they are something you like. Have someone take pictures of you in different lighting situations; inside, outside, daytime, night time, even buy some florescent bulbs and take pictures under those. See how you look in those pictures. Do you like how you look?

Another alternative just for your wedding day might be to use a tinted moisturizer all over. I've done this many times for special occasions. Let the moisturizer soak in and dry and it will not rub off on clothing like a foundation would. Plus almost all of them are spf 15, which will help protect in the Florida sun. You do not get a "tan" look. But it does give your really pale areas some color and mostly it helps even out your skin tones. I match to my arms which is the only naturally tanned area of my body and I like that effect.

Thanks for the tinted moisturiser tip I may give it a try - I'm really fair and don't tan naturally - I just don't want to look pasty in my pictures :0)

Thanks for the responses The spray tan isn't actually for me it's for my sister (MOH) she has fair skin with freckles and is desperate for some colour on the wedding day, especially as my other bridesmaid is the sunbed queen and is really tanned. I've told my sister that she doesn't need a tan but she's adamant that she wants one but doesn't want to go on the sunbeds though. I will pass on your comments and see what she decides, hopefully she will go for her natural skin look as I don't particularly trust the spray tans but the tinted moisturiser is definitely worth mentioning to her ...thanks again!

Something else to consider is that most of the spray on tans have a distinct odor. And not a good one, either. It lasts for several days - yuchhh.
