The Skinny on Spray Tanning

So as part of RealTruck’s office promotion from last month, each full time employee got a free spray tanning session. I used mine tonight and wanted to share my experience on this. So before going in you are supposed to shower and exfoliate. I guess you are supposed to do this 4 hours before, I did mine 1 hour before. I know, I am a rule breaker. So when I get there, the first thing they do is bring you into a room and tell you to rub some kind of lotion on the areas where the “spray tan” stuff can accumulate. Elbows, Knees, wrist and so on. So you dis-robe to your comfort level and then call the technician in. I chose to go with shorts that were rolled up, no shirt. The nice young lady comes in and grabs what looks like one of those spray guns they use to paint cars. She asks me if i want her to darken up the mixture for a deeper tan. Sure, why not. At this point she tells me that I was supposed to be wearing the sandals when i step on the mat. I am not wearing any shoes and have accumulated a thick layer of tanning solution on my feet. So for the next week, the bottom of my feet will look like I have been playing in a dirty field. Oh well. After getting the proper shoes, she begins to spray me down. Almost seems like a bad Hokey Pokey at times. Put your right foot forward, put your right foot back. Now shake it all around. So, she sprays both legs, then moves up to the torso. Then the face and it all ends with the back. Total time was about 10 minutes. Sure thats a long time for me to be holding in my gut, but I made it through. All in all, I found this to be a pretty good deal. I am not as dark as I thought I would be but I also dont have that orange oompa loompa “Donald Trump” look either. Would I do it again, yeah I think so. It only cost about $15.00 and I should be good for about a week. Its natural looking and people dont have to put on their sunglasses to look at me in shorts.
