Tan lines 2 weeks before the wedding

Beth, on September 2, 2010 at 12:52 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

I have 2 weeks to go, and I still have tan lines from a tank top that I work while outside for most of the afternoon a couple weeks ago. It's all done peeling, but now I'm using Jergen's daily glow, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. I notice a little difference, but the tan lines are still there. I've never been to a tanning bed before and have done the spray tanning airbrush tanning with horrible results right before my brother's wedding earlier this year. Would a tanning bed be most beneficial for me?

    I use the tanning bed regularly during the summer. It would prob only take a few days to a week to get rid of your tan lines but I think it would do the job for ya.

    What would you recommend starting at for the tanning bed as well? I do burn easily, but once I have a base tan or even a little pink tone, it won't burn anymore, just darken.

    Have you looked into getting professionally spray tanned? They may be able to spot tan you, make sure to ask if it will rub off onto you dress!

    The people at the tanner will be able to help you decide how long. And it is worth the money to buy a bronzer that they sell there. I wouldn't recommend one with an accelerator in it though. Again, they'll be able to help you.

    Being that you've never tanned before and with only 2 weeks to go, I'm not sure that you'll get enough of a tan to help. If you burn easy, you'd have to start out at less time and build up.

    I went tanning for almost 2 months to try and get rid of tan lines as well.... you could still see them. Not as bad, but you could.

    ASAP: Put on the same tank top, spray yourself with SPF 50 sunscreen or higher, put on a strapless top, spend afternoon outside.
