Kali22 Posted April 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi everyone, I know this topic has been discussed before, but most of the posts are a couple years old and just wanted to get an updated opinion. I'm trying to decide between airbrushing and spray-on tan (there is mystic and verspa close to me). I have read that both come off, but I can't seem to use a self tanner correctly, it always looks blotchy. So for those of you that have used either or both, what would you pick? Also, I recently had a 2nd degree burn on my chest (yes, awesome right before the cruise), will the self tanners look different in that area? It is all healed, just a little darker than my own skin. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsb702 Posted April 28, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hey there! I don't do either but here in Vegas it's important to be tanned QUICKLY, especially for the young hospitality workers. I have lots of friends that have done both but all prefer the airbrush. They go every 3-4 weeks to have it done. I notice that having it airbrushed stays longer than the mystic and it is a more natural bronzed color. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyslass Posted April 29, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Try Oil of Olay touch of sun moisturizer. Use it once daily after your shower. Looks totally natural, and after about 3 days you have a nice looking tan that is not too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queeniam Posted April 29, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I tried the Mystic tan a few years ago and I thought it was okay. I didn't really see any color because I was 'too dark' already. I do use the new Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing moisturizer and love it! The color lasts 2X longer than the other brands and it doesn't turn out an orangey color either. I usually have my husband apply it for me so I don't get tan palms. lol I was using the Avon brand but they don't make it anymore, it was good but it turned my hubby's hands orange and of course the color came out a little fake looking. The Jergens however turns his hands tan, and the color on me is gorgeous. You honestly wouldn't guess I was using it. Don't know if that helps any, but you might want to give it a try before you spend $50 or more on a spray tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kali22 Posted April 29, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I have tried the Jergens... I'm not sure which one specifically but it left me with streaks and orange on the sides of my hands. I tend to either wash my hands too much or not enough. I also hated the smell. I'll take a look at Oil of Olay. I just am weary about lotions bc I have sensitive skin and never know what was is going to give me a rash. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
