I went in for an instant tan yesterday bc I had an important formal event to attend. The staff was very nice, & I thought that the Instant Tan was a nice way to get an even tan, rather than do it myself at home & chance looking blotchy. I followed all of the directions perfectly. I carefully washed my hands repeatedly, like I was told to, and I even left the solution on my skin (they said at least 10 hours before you could rinse body with pure water, and I did 18). At this point, it looked fine, except that my hands & feet were an intensely dark, embarassing shade of reddish-brown. I got in the shower and rinsed w pure water, & everything came off, leaving me a crazy shade of bright white everywhere except for my hands, forearms, & feet, which were the same DARK shade of BROWN orange w bright white spots! I called them, & they recommended harsh chemicals, & kind of said "sucks to be you". I FEEL AND LOOK RIDICULOUS, AND I THINK I WOULDVE BEEN MUCH BETTER OFF IF I HAD NEVER GONE!
