talk to me about spray tans please

[TiggyR]

I am a pale and delicate flower, who needs to take care in the sun. I don't crave being a walking Caramac but I do prefer a healthy golden glow especially this time of year when the legs come out of hibernation. I don't want to be sprayed by a human but I do fancy a booth.

Are they any good?

How long will I smell like weetabix for?

It is obligatory to turn a nasty, tacky deep orange, or are their 'shades' or degrees of tan?

How many days will I need to hide in the house for, before it settles down and I can go out in public without looking like one of the professional dancers from Strictly?

How much does it cost and how long will it last?

Thank you ladies!

I don't like the David Dickinson look either and have fairish skin and I had a spray tan yesterday prior to going on hols this afternoon. I simply CANNOT look at my blue flesh by the pool [shallow emoticon].

It looks natural straight away, I don't notice much smell at all, development time is 7 hours but if possible leave longer before bathing. Cost £25 and will last for about a week.

I was sprayed by a human though - I don't know if that's a deal breaker for you!

It is a bit, but thanks anyway! O saw a place near me advertising booths - I think it was a spray booth rather than an upright sunbed.

I had a booth spray tan in prep for a holiday, I'm quite pale and chose the lightest option (there were about 3 levels of darknes IIRC) it looked quite good and I think as long as you follow all the instructions you should be ok

It lasted about a week but came off really patchy so I spent a couple of days looking like I had some weird skin condition!
