I really wanted to have a healthy glow before wearing my wedding gown at a beach in Hawaii to say my vows in the middle of winter. My skin was rather pale in December and I shuddered at the thought of wearing something white in January.
A month before the wedding, I ended up at Sundrops to do a trial run for the Capri Tan. I met Laura who was the most friendly shopowner. I expressed my concerns about my dry skin and eczema and we did the first spray tan paying special attention to the eczema spots. I left the tan on for 8 hours and it was dark but faded into something beautiful by day 3-4.
I came back in January, four days before my wedding and replicated the same thing, skipping the eczema patches so that the tan would fade to a color of my liking by the time my wedding day arrived. I did have some minor discoloration but it was attributed to my dermatitis.
I also tried a few sessions of the ionithermie and believe it made a difference in the wedding pictures.
For special occasions, definitely worth the splurge for the tan .
