Is Spray Tanning Worth the Effort?
This weekend I decided to head over to the Campus Tan on Hunnington Ave. to get some color sprayed on me. The last time I did this was the day before I went to the Turks & Caicos for vacation in May. This time, though, I decided I was gonna go naked, as I am not down with the tan lines.
So on a hot, drowsy summer day, I walked the mile to Campus tans to step into their booth and get a healthy glow. But because it was a hot, drowsy day, I knew I would begin perspiring the moment I stepped back outside. So my game plan was to head over to the Prudential Mall to shop for a few hours while the color set in.
By the time I headed home that afternoon, about 4:30pm, the color appeared to have set. I hung around with the husband for a few hours and then we went off to dinner on Washington Avenue to a Vietnamese restaurant.
I decided to "play it safe" and not shower or "actively" perspire all evening into the next morning. On Sunday, the husband and I went to the gym to go swimming. I waited till I got home, about 1pm to actually shower.
I don't know when or how, but the spray tan appeared to have washed off sometime between my shower and this afternoon. I came into work today expecting people to comment on my "glow," but no one did.
Finally, this afternoon, I IM'd my friend "Wighty" about no one noticing and he asked "Did you get sprayed with another shade of pale?"
I think next time I am going to go with "Level 2" rather than "Level 1" of the spray.
