Does anyone use tanning salons?

Personally - I am in the same boat as you. I have not taned for a number of years, I canged jobs and it was just tooo inconvenient. If it bothers you that much why not use a self tanner cream on those spots...

when I used to go to tanning I would do 20 minutes sessions. The first 10 I would do standard on my back. The next 5 minutes I would roll on my right side, put on leg in front of the other and raise my arms above my head.. The last 5 min I would switch to my left side same position. It worked really good when I did it..

However-----now I use sunless tanners because I'm worried about the damaging effects of beds and the sun. I can get a better color from a bottle than a bed but it requires MUCH more maintenance..

Have you seen anything about the airbrush tanning method? You get nekkid and they airbrush sunless tannng stuff all over you. I read that it can last about 6-weeks.

actually the airbrush thing lasts a week at most but i'd give it 4 days. The active ingredient in sunless tanners (airbrush solutions included) is a chemical called DHA which only affects your outermost layer of skin. That skin is shed over the course of 3-7 days and things like exfoliating and taking long baths will accelerate the shedding of skin. Airbrushing is also very expensive, as I almost started an airbrush tanning business, the normal charge is about $25-35 for a full body app which sucks because you have to get it redone once a week at least. Many celebrities and rich people use the airbrush because it provides the best results (like JLo's tan is all airbrush).. A lot of people get airbrushed for special occasions, but unless you're willing to shell out $30 a week for a tan it probably wouldn't be a solution. If I were to recommend anything it would just be a DIY tan from a bottle.. If you want info I recommend www.sunless.com
