"The Scoop on Instant Tanning at a Salon Places that coat you in head-to-toe glow (via an aesthetician wielding an airbrush wand or in a spray booth like Mystic Tan) are cropping up everywhere. Color develops in four to eight hours. Cost: $30 to $65; it varies by location. What&amp;amp;#8217;s great: All you have to do is stand there. What&amp;amp;#8217;s not: For airbrushing, you&amp;amp;#8217;re stark naked with an aesthetician. And streaks can happen. &amp;amp;#8220;One night after I&amp;amp;#8217;d gotten my regular booth tan, my fianc&amp;amp;eacute; fell asleep with one arm across me,&amp;amp;#8221; says Shelby Carson, 27, of East Meadow, New York. &amp;amp;#8220;I woke up to an arm print on my chest!&amp;amp;#8221; Quick tip: To avoid smears on sheets and clothes, wear old, loose PJs. Exfoliate before you go to a salon, says Fake Bake pro Lisa Fulton, who makes celeb house calls. Rough spots soak up more tanner, leaving splotches. The Scoop on Instant Tanning at Home Self-tanners come in cream, aerosol, mousse, foam, gel and wipe form (all work well; which you choose depends on your preference). Wait time is around six hours. Cost: about $10 for drugstore ones; about $30 for department store brands. What&amp;amp;#8217;s great: They&amp;amp;#8217;re usually tinted brown, so you can see exactly where you have applied the color (and whether you missed a spot). What&amp;amp;#8217;s not: Some of them drip. &amp;amp;#8220;After one self-tanning session,&amp;amp;#8221; says Patty Haning, 23, of Chicago, &amp;amp;#8220;my boyfriend questioned me about a suspicious brown spot on the bathroom rug. I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t even realize I had spilled!&amp;amp;#8221; Quick tip: Wear thin latex gloves to avoid telltale hand discoloration, and rub in small amounts at a time in a circular motion. The Scoop on Gradual Tanning at Home These creams and foams glide on as easily as body lotion. Rub one on daily and you&amp;amp;#8217;ll have bronzier skin in as few as three days. Cost: about the same as the instant kind. What&amp;amp;#8217;s great: It&amp;amp;#8217;s practically impossible to mess up. If you skipped a spot when you applied on day one, there won&amp;amp;#8217;t be a huge color difference, so evening it out is simple. What&amp;amp;#8217;s not: You definitely need patience. &amp;amp;#8220;It took forever for anyone to comment on my new tan,&amp;amp;#8221; says Jennifer Addie, 30, of Reston, Virginia, &amp;amp;#8220;but it did look really natural.&amp;amp;#8221; Quick tip: For faster results, apply twice a day: first after showering in the morning and then again before you go to bed. 3 Top Picks for Gradual Tanning(Pictured above from top to bottom) 1.
