Tan lines! Ack!

So I got this wicked sunburn on the cape about six weeks ago and the tan lines still haven't faded! Any tips on how I can"fill in" the pale parts?? I was thinking of trying those tan towels things or going to a salon for one of those fake tan treatments... But clearly it's not something I want to experiment with. Any ideas? I never do any sunless (or otherwise!) tanning so I am clueless.

    I would try the gradual tanning lotions like the kind from Jergens. You add color more gradually.

    I would go to a pro place that does the spray tanning - they can lessen the spray over parts that are already tanned, etc. It might be pricey but I wouldn't mess around with this - a pro can make you look nice and even! (Or, as an alternative, you can make a scrub out of olive oil, raw sugar and lemon juice and exfoliate like a maniac until you're all one color - good luck!)

    TOO FUNNY!!!  haha.. I scrubbed like a mad woman around my shoulders, back, arms, and chest-- I actually put on a SMALL dab of oil as I was out of the shower (and before fully drying off) to help lock insome moisture.. it really helped!  My skin just sucks up moisture, so a lack of it (like New England joyusly brings us every winter) is terrible!
