Tan Lines- Help!

I have the worst tan lines from running with tanks on (like my arms are a complete different color than my chest)! I have layed out many times and they have not even faded!! I do not want to get a spray tan. Can any of you recommend a good self tanner or slight tanning lotion that would help me even it out? I'm hoping that this weekend's weather will be nicer so I can lay out. But even with laying out I feel like my chest never gets any color.

    I don't know about a self tanner, but have you tried exfoliating your arms? It probably won't fix it completely, but it might help.  Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but I figured I'd mention it just in case.

    I have used Nivea Body Sun-Kissed Firming Moisturizer . You can get it at like walgreens.   You use it for a few days and it suppose to even out your skin slowly it worked for me and wasn't that expensive.

    I used to use neutrogena all the time.  It gives a really nice color, but can give off a really funny smell if you sweat at all.  Not a BO-ish smell, but like a funny smell.  Also, after a few days it sweats off on your clothes.  If you are not a big sweater or don't spend a lot of time outside, then that all probably wouldn't be a problem for you.  The only time it really happened to me was if I spent a lot of time outside in the heat.  It was awesome during the winter!!

    I would recommend asking an airbrush artist to airbrush you so it looks more even.  Do a trial this week to see.

    I had a girlfriend run across the same problem about a month before her wedding.  She started out using the at-home stuff, but could never apply it evenly enough or just in the right spots to fix her "farmer's" tan LOL.  She ended up just going to an airbrush tanning salon, and the airbrush artist fixed her right up!  I know you said you don't want to do that...just thought I'd share my friend's experience with both methods.  Good luck!

    No time for a trial airbrush tan.  Try getting outside for 30 mins to an hour with a tube top on maybe?!?  Or Victoria Secret has a bronzer lotion that comes off with soap... I use to put it on my face and chest after I put my makeup during the winter... works good and doesn't smell bad and you can wash it off the next morning.

    Use a great sugar scrub exfoliator like Fresh from Sephora and then you can book an appointment to get spray tanned before the wedding!

    If you need someone that comes to you, let me know!
