"moved to sunless".what is he spraying you with? you don't go to a salon to have this done?

We buy React solution. But no I don't get it done in a salon.

My question is, how can I get a fast tan in a tanning bed (only 2 weeks to before beach). Last night was my first time and only stayed in for 6 mins in a regular bed, hopefully I haven't waited to late since I don't tan fast.

DG: Another solution to your predicament would be to get some stuff called, "Blue Lizard Sport" suncream. Apply it 30 minutes before hitting the water, and your sunless tan won't come off.

You can get it at www.drugstore.com and they have free shipping with it.

Really? Have you had experience with that?

Sure worth a try. I am just tired of worrying about my tan and not being able to enjoy swimming with my hubby and daughter!!

I personally have not had experience with it, because I haven't been swimming in A G E S. Or out in the sun, my flower beds can attest to that.

How I found out about it was through a client of mine, who went to a water park two days after I sprayed her. She wasn't initially going into the water because she didn't want to lose her tan, and after sitting for about 20 minutes in over 100 degree weather, she said screw it!

She applied it twice during the eleven hours she was in the water, according to her. What makes me believe her claims most is that she is one of my clients with whom I do a trade out with, and if her tan WAS screwed up, she could've come back and gotten sprayed at no cost anytime after, and she didn't.

I think the key to it working is applying appx. 30 minutes ahead of getting outside. It's sweatproof, too.
