i am getting married in october. i hike often and work outside. so needless to say i have some funcky tan lines. my wedding dress is strappless...what can i do to get rid of the tank top lines? if i tan in a tanning bed will the tanned places get darker?
should i risk it?
i have tried the tanning lotions and do not like them...they turn me a curtain type of orange and i am not into that.
any ideas?

Skip the tanning bed. It's terrible for your skin and there's no guarentee it will solve your problem anyway. First, commit to using sunscreen for the next few months so your funky tan lines will fade and then hit the Mystic Tan or something similar in your area about a month before so you can "practice".

Since you have two months ahead of you, go the the tanning bed a few times and try to even out your lines. If it works or doesn't maybe switch to the air tan?? It depends on how tan you want to be for your wedding. Air tans (mystic tans, whatever) are like $25 a pop where I live. I'm on a membership with The TanCo. for $25 a month. That gets me unlimited/free use of the level one beds and discounted prices on the higher level beds (2-5). Congrats!

from now on when you go outside, wear a strapless top...not quite conducive to hiking...but you won't get the tan lines! also, get a strapless swim suit and lay out as often as you can. Even if it is only for 20 minutes, every bit helps! Its better for you than the tanning bed!!

Try rubbing lime juice into the areas where you need to tan. It is a tan accelerator. And you'll smell like a yummy margarita.
I have the same problem! My dress is strapless and my back is five different colors from tanning while cycling. I finally gave up because the darkest part is unnaturally brown, and the other parts from my bike outfit is normal tan. I have different colors and even a couple of finger marks where my boyfriend was trying to strategically place sunblock.
My solution is to hide it with the veil and just leave the veil on at the reception.

Why not try a spray tan at the salon. That should even out all the lines you have. The tanning bed I would skip.

you could put a jumper over the top of your dress to hide the lines
