Exclamation *Why Won't My Upper Body Tan?!*

I have been tanning for over a year now, switching between different brands for the most maximum tan. I lived in upstate NY, where I used Hot! by AG and my tan was pretty nice. I usually upgraded to a facial bed every other time I went tanning and I looked nice and even everywhere. I recently moved to NC, and have been tanning at their salon for a month now. I baught one of their tingle lotions called Pink Diamonds, but I'm not getting as tan as before.


From my boobs up is not even. My stomach and legs are relatively dark but my chest area and face is a lighter tone. I'm not sure if the problem is my lotion or if their tanning beds are crappy. These beds have facial lamps in them, but I took advice from another topic about laying down further in the bed and that did not work either. Could the problem be because my face and upper body is used to tanning in a facial bed all the time where the UV is stronger or am I just immuned lol.


I need to look good asap and I don't know what I should do lol. I need my upper body tan!!!


HELP PLEASE !!!

probably should include a picture of those boobs so we can see what you are talking about. Very important. Dr Neon will be doing the analysis.

My first thought is the lamps are old. You get higher UV output from the middle of the lamp than theends, so that is where you would be the darkest.

Do the standup. When women lay down their breasts scrunch up *if they have them* and it keeps that area from tanning. If you do the standup once a week, that problem will go away. As for your face, are you wearing makeup? Or moisturizer with sunscreen in it?

Sooo, the reason her upper chest area isn't tanning is because her humongous breastusses are shading her from the nipples up to her head?

No, I'm not wearing any makeup or spf. I'm tanning in the same manor as I always have been.

Seriously, the skin scruches together, especially to the side but some to the top. She needs to do the standup. Faces are harder to tan in the first place. Get a facial tanning lotion, that might help.

Use duct tape to keep them from scruching. We can't keep that stuff on the shelf.
