Farmer\'s tan that won\'t blend! HELP!

[hotflayme]

I leave for Vegas next weekend and I can't get my tan lines from getting burned in a tee shirt to blend into my upper arms. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you trying to catch up at a tanning salon?

[hotflayme]

Yes, but I'm only making the dark area darker.

You may have waited too late to get started: don't know what your skin type is, what kind of equipment you are using, etc. Those parts under your clothes are not as uv tolerant as the rest of you, and if you try to do this too quickly, you'll burn those too!

About the best I can tell you right now is DON'T EVER BURN!

well, I don't know if this is correct or not, but I always use sunBLOCK or a high SPF sunscrean on my arms because if I don't, that area just soaks up the light and gets way darker way faster (even after I even out at the salon)

if you are going in a week yea you waited too long to get where everything will blend in

[jayell79]

you could try a self-tanner or bronzer

Banana Boat Soft Medium Creme is a pretty good cheap self-tanner. You can get it for under $6 at Wal-Mart.
