while I myself have not done it, I have tonnes of friends who have. It actually turns out really nice and doesn't look fake orangey. They also go in the tanning beds/booths too though. Make sure you exfoliate your body really REALLY well before you go and moisturize! Well hydrated skin will make it look a lot better. I know someone who had a dry patch and the tan just sort of flaked off with the dry/dead skin cells. Good luck!

Hey, Im new here as well. Thought Id share my spray tan story. So the whole process of it was great, the color came out nicely and I felt all refreshed. Well as soon as I walked outside it starts drizzeling alittle, as you know you cant get wet for like a day after. Haha, nice right? When I woke up the next day, I had little rain drops spots on me! My luck!

I didn't like it when it started to "fade" it went all patchy, and I exfoliated to try to make it come off more evenly

HI new here too,
I have used a tan booth prior to a holiday. Lovely tan which looked natural and lasted well into my holidays. Also home spray tans are ok as long as you exfoliate and moisturise. Good product I think is Fake bake, expensive but worth it.

Spray tanning is really difficult for alot of people that i know, myself included...Expoliating before hand is ABSOLUTLY nessasary to prevent discolouration. I myself found that if i was going to do the spray tan i first needed a base tan in order for it to not look "fake" whether the base tan is natural or from a few minutes in a tanning bed a day or so prior to the spray...it also makes the wearing off look more natural too. Another suggestion is showering right before you go so that you wash off any excess oil from your skin allowing more of the colour to stick to the skin instead of the oil on your body(give you less chance of it washing away in spots...lol...hope this helped you...Good Luck And Have fun on your Vacation!!

I haven't tried but I truly love to try this one upon hearing that it looks natural and the result was pretty amazing. Before we tried this one. Let me share with you some important things to consider. These information were just shared from my friends who already tried to go into Tanning Salon.

Make sure that you will be using a DHA-based products. It is the basic ingredient in effective fake tans. The most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions and sprays that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. It's a derivative of glycerin that temporarily darkens your skin by reacting with amino acids in dead skin cells.

Make sure to moisturize and exfoliate your skin well before going into Tanning Salon. Your skin can easily absorb the chemical if it is thoroughly moisturized.
