r/spraytanning

I’m very pale and like to self tan often in the summer, however, I can’t stand to smell like self tanner after I’ve rinsed it off. I am totally fine with the tan smell during the initial application but I do not want to smell like it for days after. I used to use tanologist and noticed a minimal smell after the initial rinse but didn’t get the best color. Recently I’ve loved the color I get from b. tan express mousse but I feel like I smell like self tanner for days after and I hate it. Is there a brand that leaves a dark and natural color without that gross smell?

Honestly I am so over this constant cycle of tanning, looking fab for 4/5 days, having bizarre patches particularly round my neck, scrubbing and then reapplying. IT IS SO BORING!

I’m based in the UK and have been using fake tan for years and years, I’m a natural red head and very fair skinned.

Can anyone recommend anything that will make this easier! I use the rose and caramel tan eraser and that has made it easier but is there anything that doesn’t go weird and patchy? I haven’t tried gradual tan moisturiser is that any better?

Please help xx

Ok so I have my bridal shower this Saturday at noon. My bridal gown fitting is the Friday before at 5pm. I live a few states away from my hometown (where the shower is) so I need to get my fitting in the same weekend. my original plan was to go get a spray tan Thursday evening then rinse Friday, then another shower Saturday before the shower. But I’m worried that the spray tan could stain my dress at the fitting on Friday, even after one rinse. Do you think this could happen? Should I get a spray tan after the fitting on Friday to be safe? Maybe a lighter color since it will only be the day before the shower? any thoughts would be helpful!

The only solution company I can think of that has been openly vocal is ALT SUN, a small indie brand. Great solution.

Anyone know of any others?
Dolce Glow, AGlow, Xtan, JMT Sunless, Glazed, Unfiltered, Bronze me baby? Anyone know?

Hi all, I (M28) am getting married in 2 weeks and have a spray tanning appointment set for 5 days before. The goal is to get a little color, nothing crazy.

I’m planning on shaving my neck twice between tan and wedding day. Once two days after the spray and once the morning of.

Am I making a mistake? Anything you all would recommend?

So I’ve been getting versaspa spray tans, but it is way too dark on my face. Does anyone have tips or tricks on how to rinse it off my face an hour or two early?😅

I am getting my first ever spray tan today at around 2 pm. I was sick this whole week so I couldn’t get it until today, but my graduation is at 10 am tomorrow. I shaved, showered, and moisturized last night. Any tips on making sure any residue is completely off so my white grad dress doesn’t get stained tomorrow?
Do I shower tonight before bed or do I shower right before changing tomorrow morning, or both? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I go on holidays soon & do not tan at all!! But i’d love to feel nice while i’m away. I use fake tan regularly but weirdly if i ever put it on my neck or face i break out in horrible eczema. Almost like i have an allergy to fake tan only on the neck and face, nowhere else. I have tried EVERY tan. Even gradual tan moisturisers break out my face and neck. So i usually apply from my shoulders down. I’d love to get a spray tan before i go away but is there any way to do this without getting it on my face/neck? I will be using a self service spray tan booth. Any advice appreciated!!!

Calling all pale girlies with pink undertones!!! I’m actually see through in some areas. I embrace it for the most part but when it comes to vacation, mama needs a little tint you know!! So. I’m going to Miami on the 24th, will be swimming in ocean, then boarding my cruise for the week and visiting multiple beaches and pools. My last spray tan lasted a solid 2 days between sunscreen and showers. Granted, I used the automated spray booth at Palm beach tan (I booked this next one with a technician so I know just that alone will hopefully give better results). I need tips ladies!!! Do I bring my gradual self tanning supplies and re apply when I see it fade?? Will I look splotchy? What is your shower/ shaving routine when it comes to tanning on vacation? Anything helps, thank you!!
