    Default Fake tans and working out

    I have never been able to master the art of being artificially tan and being a sweaty beast while working out. How do you ladies do it? I know many dancers on there break a sweat when working out and somehow maintain a tan from the bottle.

    I feel like when i work out and sweat heavily the tan comes off a bit and looks less even. this isnt the worst part though, the worst part is if i choose to wear a sports bra, the outline of the bra rubs the tan off. Maybe i need a different type of sports bra?

    and ive gone through quite a few different tanning lotions. maybe my skin is just bizarre.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    I know exactly what you mean. Even the best spray tans. I will have a sports bra tan line after the first day. It just rubs off, especially when you sweat. I have always thought that the girls who maintain even spray tans don't really exercise much.

    I don't mean to be rude, but fake tans are such a hassle. Maybe you are afraid of skin cancer and aging and that's understandable. But for people who aren't afraid of cancer, why not just go get a real one? I actually own a bed, but most of my friends are anti tanning and they just die when they even see the bed. I have to hear for thirty minutes how I'm going to get cancer and they will cut half my face off. But I'm old school, when I was a kid everyone went to a tanning bed.

    that's the reason why I stopped the fake tans. It only looked good when I had a base tan underneath and I would always have really gross orange hands, sports bra tan lines and smell awful. I swear the smell hurt my money at the club it was so intense. I used Versa Spa booths btw.

    IMHO the alleged skin cancer / premature aging risks involved in using a high wattage commercial tanning bed at a salon 2/3 times per week are greatly reduced if you can maintain your tan via a few minutes per day in a lower wattage home tanning bed. Also, between the tanning salon fees, the gas saved driving 12 miles to and from the tanning salon 2/3 times a week, and the tax write off on the tanning bad purchase price, I came out money ahead in less than a year.

    PS as to 'bottle' tanning agents, who says these are completely safe either ? This just released - From

    I also read an article saying that lotion tans have all kinds of harmful chemicals in them... not the DHA itself, but other chemicals. Don't recall exactly which.

    If you do use a tanning lotion, get one from a health food store, Alba is supposed to be a good brand.

    It helps to do the fake tan at night then the next morning before going to the gym rinse off in the shower. This will get some of the bronzer in the tanner off you which will come off when you sweat. I do still sometimes get tanner coming off on my bra though.

    I look young, I started tanning at age 12. That bed up there, that's the same one I own and it's a great little bed. Skin cancer is caused by the sun, tanning does cause wrinkles. So does smoking and using drugs, drinking and staying up late. And eating unhealthy foods affects it as well as not drinking enough water. So, tanning alone, not really much of an issue to me. I'm almost 30, I've been assumed to be my husbands teenage daughter before.

    bleh i have gone back to excersising braless. im not flat (im a Big B/ Small C) but my boobs can take a lot of bounce. I used to never wear bras but started wearing them when i started driving the bicycle taxis in NOLA because NOLA roads are shit and i got tired of my tits jiggling. but running seems to be OK for them.

    I dont tan nicelyh without chemicals. Im half irish, half swedish. My arms are "tan" from working at hte scuba camp this summer, and it means they are slightly darker with freckles. not a good look for me.

    I am slightly horrified by the potential boobie damage of exercising without a bra, but I say do as you wish. I only know my boobs couldn't take it cuz I have bigass implants. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that your boobs don't get saggy.

    i dont think that not wearing a bra causes saginess. ive seen info say it goes both ways-- if you dont wear a bra the stuff keeps your boobs perky is stronger.

    a lot of ppl site those chicks from nat geo as a reason why you need to why you need to wear a bra. i think that reasoning is pretty bogus.

    but yea, i am pretty sure htere is no scientific proof that not wearing a bra causes saginess. ive been not wearing a bra for yrs and my boobs are perky as hell.

    that being said, with implants, you do need a bra. fo sho.
