| oye...i have absolutely no idea about self tanners but i have heard good things about those "mystic tan" things...the tanning bed that you go in to get a spray tan. not sure if that would help or not.... maybe ask them at the tanning salon what they suggest??

| Yep, Mystic Tan should do it. You still have time for three more sessions in the bed though. In a high power bed that might be enough time to even it up.

| You can try a spray tan, or you could try the tanning booths that you stand in to correct the problem. Good luck!

| I don't think I want to do the spray tan because I don't want my dress to get all dirty when I sweat. I'm going to be dancing all night in a big heavy dress

| There are places you can go who will make it match your skin and only spray it where it needs to be and make it look great.. Good luck!

| If you don't want to do a spray on tan, you can use a high pressure tanning bed (like Ultrabronze). They give you a decent base tan in three sessions (24 hours apart). It would at least help to even it out a bit.

| I had went tanning prior to my wedding but the week of I decided to use self tanning lotion, what a big mistake that was! I wasn't orange all over, just my hands. All I could think of was our ring pictures and me looking like a giant carrot. Luckily we could get some of it off. I'd def. go back to the tanning salon and either get the mist tan or try to refix that area in the tanning bed. Good luck!

| Neutrogena makes a good self tanner! (I used to manage a tanning salon for 8 years and saw this problem soooooooo many times) Neutrogena or Clinique are supposedly the best! Ive never used clinique but I love neutrogena! also that jergens tinted body lotion is pretty good, just don't go too dark on it, use the light color one unless you are super tan! If you are not dark enough the medium tone one makes you look orange! Id stick with neutrogena, they have one that is a tinted foam, you put it on and the foam is colored so you can make sure you are completely covered, let it set in for awhile and then shower the color off after the tanner has seeped into your skin! its great stuff! GOOD LUCK!!!
