Two toned arms and a strapless gown!

[charliesgirl]

I'm going to be wearing a strapless gown and from just above my elbow down is quite a bit darker than the rest of me, I'm thinking about getting some kind of spray tan to even everything out, I've never tanned before and I'm worried about looking orange. What would be the most natural looking way to go about this? I have 3 months till the wedding, so I thought it would be best to try something now and give it time to fade if it doesn't work...

Hi charliesgirl!
This problem is alot more common that you might think. I would suggest trying a spray tan at your local salon, or sometimes you can find mobile spray tan businesses that will come to you instead of applying a self-tanner, which in more instances than not look quite orange. I have had brides who have this problem do the spray tan with successful results. I am sure others on the board can also lend some gems of advice to you. Let us know what happens!

do a standup tan at one of them places...go a few times a few weeks before your wedding so if you overtan, you will have some time to even it out.

woot Mystic Tan FTW. dont be fooled by imatations! they will turn you orange and u will have crazy streaks!

[charliesgirl]

I've looked into a few different tanning salons but I will go with Mystic tan as per the recommendation You can purchase a membership and tan for a couple minutes or so each day until you gradually build up to the desired tan. I like this idea because you wouldn't over tan, and the bed's UV free.
