Professionally done with the cream rubbed in? Having one tomorrow and just wondering, am I going to look noticeably tanned afterwards?

It's fantastic when done by someone good, but can be bl**dy awful if they aren't all that skilled. I'd suggest getting a recommendation forma friend if you're really worried. But, they ask you if you want a dark, medium or light tan anyway.
Good luck x

I was pleased with the effect but towels and bedclothes were marked for a few days. Washed out so not a problem. Anyone else found this or did I have a poor treatment?

She's told me I'll need to wear dark cotton clothes afterwards and she said it does get on bedsheets but as long as they are cotton it will wash out.

I had it done before I got married. It was soooooooooooo messy, expensive and streaky (despite spending a fortune & taking ages).

You will look like they're rubbed you with old teabags when you come out, but that's just the guide colour that tells the beauty therapist where it has been applied.

I didn't have a car when I had mine done and had to use cabs there and back, queuing at the taxi rank post-treatment was excruiciatingly embarrassing . I looked like a Dick Emery character
