My first spray tan

Well....I have always been a sunner!   From years of teaching swimming, I was able to acquire that dark beautiful tan as a fringe benefit.   Then....sunscreen came along.  But for me.....I still tanned with sunscreen and sunblock.  Then...came the tanning bed.   Faster tan without the UV RAYS.....supposed to be better for the skin.  Right????
Time will tell.
Now....there is spray tanning!   So....I got my first spray tan last night.   I bathed/exfoliated/shaved/ and moisturized before going.   Just like they said.
I listened carefully to all instruction and did the regimen.   At first....I thought it didn't work.  I looked the same.   But...you have to give it time and it will keep getting darker.

So...this morning...I woke to look in the mirror.   Hum.....still looks the same!  Oh wait....,my hand and fingers look darker!   I put the lotion on my fingernails to keep the spray from messing up my new nanicure.  It seems where I put the lotion....it got darker!
Here is my dirty looking hand.   See the difference between the hand and wrist?

So...then I started to put on my shoes....and guess what?   the soles of my feet are the darkest!!!!
That is really spray tan color...not DIRT!!!
Not sure this is what I should do again....jury is still out on this.....but it sure was an experience and really fun. The best part is that I did it with Erica...so we laughed alot about everything.
You will have to check her post as to how her tan came out.

Maybe the trick is to NOT put the barrier lotion on! I can't believe after all those questions I asked that I forgot but my fingers look fine!

Personally I find tan on soles beautiful and I wish my girlfriend would do it to her soles

Is there any way to have this effect permanent on my soles?
