My best friend convinced me to get a Spray Tan with her yesterday, against my better judgement. I am a red head, with freckles, and milky white skin. It would take me 2 months of every-other-day tanning, in the tanning bed, to build a base tan. To get a base tan with the real sun outside, forget-about-it, I would just be bed ridden for a week with a painful burn, then peel, then tons of regrets! Everybody wants beautiful tanned skin, and I have, too many times in the past fallen victim to the latest and (supposedly) greatest bronzer products at the drugstores that claim to be streak-free, flawless, easy-to-use, etc. They never are!! Why? Why do they have to lie??? So, needless to say, I was pretty nervous about having yet another bad experience with a weeks worth of orange-streaked skin. We got our tans sprayed on at Island Tan, and were told to wait 6 hours to shower. I thought "Oh, Lord, what will I look like in 6 hours? A Pumpkin? LOL". After the 6 hours were up, I showered, and now I am a Sun-Bronzed-Goddess!! It looks like I went to the beach. I was a total disbeliever in the possibility of ever having a tan again, but now I can wear shorts, go to the river with my friends, and they won't get to make jokes about my legs "blinding them". Oh, and if they ever read this, (and they'll know who they are) thanks for thinking that that joke never gets old! Thanks IslandTan for the awesome tan! I will be back, and will tell all of my friends about you.
Pros: I went from Paste white to Sun Bronzed Goddess in less than 10 minutes! YAY!!
Cons: I wish I had known about this place a long time ago.
