alibino to black!

Hey ladies, so I'm pretty white and I got a spray tan thinking it would give me some color for our engagement pictures this weekend. Well, instead my palms are orange and I am waaaay to dark. I don't even recognize myself. It doesn't look horrible, it is just too dark and doesn't look like me. I've showered twice today (exfoliating) and it is getting a bit lighter, but our pictures our on Sunday and I'd like to be MUCH lighter by then. Any ideas?

    Believe me it'll get much better by then! I think grapefruit works too, but you might want to google what to do. I have had spray tans and they are usually quite light by the fourth or so day.

    eeek! I had considered getting spray tanned for my wedding. I'm pretty white too. I guess i'll try it out way before my wedding just in case I don't like it. Good Luck trying to lighten it up!

    Marshalls in East Lansing has some product that is supposed to even out fake tans. You may want to give it a shot. Good luck! It should be a little less noticeable after a few days anyway.

    So, I tried this "remedy" that said to put baby oil all over your body and leave for 20 minutes. Apparently it's supposed to suck up the color or something. Then it said to exfoliate. So, I did all of that, the tan has somewhat lightened up, but I've showered like twice a day and exfoliated each night (face also). Of course I lotioned up afterwords. It is better this evening. By tomorrow afternoon for our pictures I think I'll be fine but I will not be getting a spray tan any time in the near future. Plus it cost $27, so a big waste of money.
