    Default Tan lines! Help! :-/

    So just to clarify, I am a freak about sunscreen, for two reasons: 1) skin cancer and 2) tan lines! I've never liked tan lines, and now that I'm dancing I really, really hate them. So when I was at a horse show in southern California all week, and even though I put on TONS of sunscreen, I STILL got some terrible lines! The sports bra line on the chest and a racerback line on the back. A little bit of a shorts tan too. WTF. Even though I'm not burned, I'm horrified at the idea of getting naked and trying to look like a goddess when I have very un-sexy tan lines.

    Any ideas on how to fix them or speed up the process?!?! Anyone tried using self tanner on the less-tan areas? Does it look weird? I just don't know what to do. Any thoughts would be appreciated... I really need to go back to work this week and I really don't want to look like a fool Thanks!

    self tanner helps, do it all over though. Something like a mystic tan or Versa Spa.

    Yeah, I think the best thing is to get a spray tan. It'll last around a week and after that it probably won't be noticeable anymore.

    I personally think tan lines are weird, but I often have customers commenting on how sexy they are. Weird, right? Something about the line between the "forbidden" and the "other stuff". Haha.

    Thanks girls! update...

    Went to work last night and workkked that shit! it was pretty funny. I made less than average money, but I don't think it had anything to do with the lines at all. today I picked up some L'Oreal Sublime Bronze spray (no rubbing in needed!) and wipes in the same brand. I exfoliated hardcore, dried off, then sprayed the mist (lightly), waited for it to dry, rubbed to wipes gently along the edges of the tan lines and into the white areas, washed my hands and waited with baited breath.

    Results? badass!!! self tanner has gotten soooo much nicer over the past two years. last time I tried to use self tanner I got streaks and brown spots and gunk in my nails and feet/hands/elbows/etc! This time the results are allllmost flawless.


    Oh, happy day!

    Interesting... It makes sense though! I had a boyfriend who liked tan lines once upon a time. Never understood why
