    Default Shooting commercial Fri need tan advice

    So I just found out tonight I will be in a commercial on Fri. I have been told I need to tan, and having 2 days to get dark, the tanning bed isn't going to cut it.

    Now, I've read the Mystic tan threads, and feel a little better about going, but I'm still nervous, I've never done it before.

    What if it turns out bad? Actually, I've never used a self tanner of any kind.

    I you were me, would you go the day of the shoot, or the day before? Should I take my chances w/ some other tanning product besides Mystic. I is scared ladies, please help!!!

    Go the day before... The tan darkens for the first 4-5 hours after you get it. Just make sure to listen when the girl at the tanning salon explains how to do it. Use LOTS of barrier cream all over your hands and feet. Then, when you get out, scrub your entire body with the towel. Make sure to scrub real hard everywhere. Then make sure you don't shower for a few hours afterwards.

    Good luck!

    I would look for an airbrush salon in your area. I would look in the yelowpages for anything to do with tanning , call and ask if they do airbrush. A person will apply it, instead of a machine, giving room for less mistakes. Do it at least the day before and wait like 12-14 hours to take a shower , the longer you wait, the darker it will be and the longer it will stay. Before you go exfoiliate and dont apply any lotion or moisturizers prior to application. These usually cost 25-30 bucks.

    Yep, I would suggest spending a bit more and airbrushing. The mystic tan gets everywhere and sometimes it doesn't.

    An airbrush tan can get everywhere it needs to an nowhere it doesn't.

    Well, shoot. I'm going to have to do the mystic after all b/c the one person in town that did the airbrush thing is out of business. Thanks for the input, honestly I'm so thankful to be a member here b/c I have no idea where I could get so much great advice so quickly.

    I would do it two days in advance. That way if you're blotchy you can buy a remover and if you aren't dark enough you can go back tomorrow. Also... if you're too dark (orangey) you can have that extra day to wash.

    Get in there!

    I just shot a commercial too. I took some spray on bronzer from victoria's secret wtih me just in case. I'm WHITE. We had the lighting real low so it wasn't an issue. I don't think.....

    ha,now i'm paranoid.

    I just got the 'fantasy tan' done at a medspa convention. Looks through the recent body bus pages as I made a thread about my review. It's been days now and it still looks beautiful!!

    ^ Thanks guys! I went yesterday and had myself airbrushed, I thought the salon did Mystic but I got lucky as it turns out. So it cost me $35, I'm not too too dark, but not orange either. I thought I would be darker, but it's ok, as long as I don't appear fish belly white on camera I think it will be ok.

    BTW Katherine, I did see that thread, and looked for Fantasy tan but I live in a smaller city in TX and sometimes it takes a while for us to catch up (sucks!). CANT WAIT TO MOVE BACK TO HOUSTON!!!
