So as a way to get prepared for our cruise and not look like white freaks Adam and I decided to go get mists. Instead of killing ourselves and ruining our skin in the tanning booths, we opted to be mystified. I was really nervous at first, but the woman who owned the tanning salon said they have come a long way. Instead of painting color on your skin now it's a solution that reacts to your skin and forms the color. It only lasts 7 days or so depending on how quickly your skin sloughs (sorry couldn't think of a better words) off so we wanted to try it out first just in case it looked horrible. We weren't able to see the results until we woke up because it took about 4-6 hours to develop. I wasn't able to tell that big of a difference, but when Adam came home he said he could tell, and of course I can see a big difference in the side by side photos. I am pleased with the results, though there are a few places that don't looks so great, but they are not obvious. We are going back on Monday right before we leaves since it will be worn off by then.
So today my favorite color is tan. What do you think?
I'd like to thank Adam & Tess for these lovely photos. I really can't believe I am publishing them.

I can totally tell a difference. I think I would be a little skeptical myself going into get "mysted". Remember that Friends episode? I can't get that out of my mind. I think it looks very natural. How does Adam look?
the tan looks really good, quite natural.
I'm laughing at Jenny's comment. I was thinking about that Friends episode as well. Glad your's turned out much better than Ross's.
Your 'mysting' looks great! So much faster and safer than tanning! I love tan skin but hate the process it takes to get it.
That looks like a huge difference to me, now I want to see pictures of Adam (why am I laughing just thinking about it?).
What a difference! Awile back for SPT Virtual Tax Refund I said I'd spend mine on a tan!
Yours turned out great! I tried some self tanner on my legs the other day and the next morning didn't think a thing about it, so I put on my shorts and went to the park to run. Halfway through my run as I was taking a breather I looked down and my legs were orange streaked! I couldn't believe it! Where had I gone soooo wrong! Needless to say, it gave me the energy I needed to hightail it through the rest of my run and back to the saftey of my car! Maybe I should try a professional tan next time! (I can't believe I just confessed to that!)
Tan looks great on you! I'm impressed.
I think it turned out great. I tried it once and still felt pretty streaky and EXACTLY like Ross on friends. I think I may have even screamed in the booth. Tan skin is one of my favorites. I don't have it anymore because I am too afraid of the sun now. That is really quite a difference for one tanning session - totally worth it.
You look great. I have wanted to do it, but have had your same reservations. I'm really pleased it looks so natural.
wow, where do i sign up??
(i don't tan. period. end of story. i have learned to embrace the pale!)
Jill I think Adam looks great. Funny though his legs and chest still look white. It seemed to really even out his redness. The only area that looks weird is the place on the back of his calves where he burned them golfing in st. George. It looked bad before and now it just looks more tan.
You look awesome. Very natural looking for sure :)
Wow, the before and after is amazing. You look great! You've made me want to try get a mist tan. Have fun on your trip!
Funny what a little color in your skin does for your overall appearance. I've never been tanning, but I would do mysting. I hope you have a blast on your cruise.
I am so happy to know that it looks so good-- not orange. I'm glad there are non-carcinogenic options for a healthy glow.
You look so natural!!! I don't tan... I can barely even burn. I like this stuff!!!
Green is a great color on you, but both photos look great. I agree it's hard to pinpoint a specific color. I ended up picking green since most of my clothes are either green or white. But, tomorrow it might be red, the next lavender! The cruise sounds like a lot of fun - enjoy!
There is a huge difference in your skin tone on those two pictures. I'm just hugely jealous that you'll be cruising so soon! Can't wait to see all of the pictures of all of the places that inspire you!
I did this three times! Once, before a cruise years ago - I woke up and my little said 'wow you have really white teeth!' , I knew that I was in trouble then! HA!
But the other two times were great! I can totally see a difference and it looks great on you!
Two years ago I did it while in Utah with my sister in law as we were heading to Seven Peaks. Just a word to the wise - don't go in the chlorinated water if you want to stay tan. I went in the lazy river and was white from the waist down when I got out. I looked hysterical!
Have a great time!
You look great! Not crispy or orange at all. I think it was a definite success. I have never gone anywhere to tan, but I bought self-tanner once a few years ago. I accidentally picked up the bottle "for darker skin tones" which I do not have. And, I put it on, not realizing my mistake until after I was hideously dark dark orange. Have fun on the cruise!
Definitely a success. What a fun time, to get ready for a trip like this.
A great color on you...makes me want to run out...I probably look just as pasty as the before...gross! ;)
You look great!
I loved your comment about color moods and color combinations. THat is totally me!
I think it looks great! Very natural. kinda makes me want to try it, since I feel like I look so much better when tan.
