Getting A Terrific Tanning Experience

Everything is not always what it seems when you decide to get some type of indoor tanning procedure. I have learned this first hand, and what an experience it turned out to be. While I can laugh about it now, I was very humiliated for a long time about the entire experience. I learned a valuable lesson that day - never assume anything when it comes to tanning.

Airbrush tanning does involve your body being sprayed with a very safe type of color. It will continue to get darker after about 24 hours. The results will last an average of seven to ten days. You will get the longest results if you exfoliate before you arrive for your tanning session. In my case, this is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to hurry and have a nice looking tan before heading out of town for a few days of vacation.

There was no booth to step into though when I got to the tanning salon. I was never told that though looking back on it all. I just assumed from information I had read online this is what I would be in for. So it is mainly my fault for not taking the time to ask. I do think it would have been nice though if the salon had asked if I had done the procedure before. Then they could have offered me more information on what was to take place.

I decided to leave these articles of clothing on in order to be able to check to see the difference in my original color and the tanning color after I was done. I was very glad a decided to do this or I likely would have ran to hide. I think the woman in the tanning salon just assumed I knew what was going to take place as nothing was really explained to me.

I was told to go into a room and get ready. I few minutes later I heard a knock on the door. There was a young woman I had never met with a long coat on and a small air compressor in her hand. It looked like one I use to fill up the air mattress at home when we have company. Well, she was going to be applying the tanning solution to my body in this way.

I froze though when I realized this is how it was going to be done. It is very hard to focus on much of anything when you have someone touching you and basically painting all over your body. Even though she was very professional I was completely uncomfortable the entire time. This was likely the longest 15 minutes of my life. I am sure I was bright red when I left and had to pay for my tanning experience.

She may have wondered why I didn't. It was nothing to do with the service or the quality of the tan I got from it for several days. It had to do with my own feelings of being uncomfortable in such a setting. I definitely think they should have more information about what airbrush tanning is all about. Yet I definitely should have spoken up and shared my thoughts about it.

From my unbelievable tanning experience I learned to be more assertive. I learned to never assume what you will get. Take the time to ask and to find out the facts. Should a business not have the time to answer such questions for me, I simply have the attitude that I don't have the time to spend in their facility.
