Has anyone tried reapplying the same shade on the day after coloring in order to blend missed spots? Should I wait a week & live with zebra stripes?

if you use the healthy look formula with no peroxide and just apply as a touch up, you should be just fine!! i still did the overall 5 min dose at the end to blend with no problems.

I would suggest having someone else spray you. The directions say only to use in up and down strokes to keep your tan even. It is extremely hard to evenly tan yourself without missing any spots (I've tried)

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

I had a bit of discoloring, but the kids enjoyed their mums purple streaks! I had fun for a couple days, then went back to a professional. Good luck!

Renea, unfortunately, my machine has mo instructions whatsoever, so I have not been able to use it.I can tell you that I think peels coupled with dermaswerp/microdermabrasion/ diamond tip treatments are the way to go for dark spots. You see some results right way but the key is continuing treatments ( 2-4 times month for multiple months) along with sunblock everyday. Everyday; not just during the summer momthd

I used this product twice, nervously. I did follow the directions to a T and I have had professional peels in the past so I was fairly confident.... I myself bought this to treat my own melasma spot that appeared this past summer. I did not see the results I was hoping for. I did this treatment while also treating the melasma spot with prescription strength hydroquinone. It has faded but I believe it is because I have been obsessed with sunscreen , microdermabrasion and prescription Retin A. The fact that it's winter helps too. Sorry it's not what you wanted to hear but if your looking to peel off your melasma it's not a quick fix. Your going to need a dedicated skin routine with a mix of treatments & patience. Good luck.

Use the lighter colors first and wipe with alcohol at your blend areas and lighten the area up and place you darker color. The alcohol will allow you to blend the two or more colors

Hi! Personally I enjoyed some darkness after a week or so and the ingredients seemed to help with conditioning right away. (Getting older and not really caring for my "eyelashes", haha.) I think mine were really dry and now being supple have softened and lengthened, so I would have to estimate for me really visible in 3-4 weeks.

Hi Kathleen, Thanks for the question. If there are soiled spots or finger prints use a foam cleaner or fabric cleaner like Woolite or scotch guard, taking a damp sponge clean gently from side to side, not up and down. Be careful not to crush or crease the shade. Also, if it's minor cleaning, a hand-held vacuum should be useful, as well as regular dusting. This will help ensure long-lasting cleanliness of the fabric. We hope this helps Kathleen!

Go with the colors closest to your skin tone...get several color...some a little lighter And some a little darker and mix them until you find the perfect match...just remember how many drops of each color you use when mixing so when you find the perfect match you will be able to mix the color perfect each time....good luck...air brushing is wonderful!

Absolutely. I can extend my foil highlight/lowlight by 2 weeks or more...even almost a month more. The color continues fresh and not drab.

I'm the same way. It definitely blurs them and makes them less "oh snap, you've got adorable freckles!" than I enjoyed, but it didn't cover them entirely. I don't mean to plug another product here, but after years and years I just ended up using the Bare Escentuals (sp?) mineral veil with SPF 30 mixed with the original foundation. The mixing is important: it takes away the thickness of the foundation but is still weirdly sheer, so it evens my complexion without covering up my freckles. Took a couple of tries to get the ratios right, but hand to God, it's perfect.

Not that I've seen, Aaron. I tested a couple of swatches using 90% isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab. The colors slightly blended, and there was some pigment pick up. So I guess these aren't as useful from an artist's point of view, but they do the job for what I use them for. Good luck!

I had one that started faded right away and it was gone in a week. I had another one that gradually faded over a 2 month period. I have others that have faded but have not completely gone away over the past 6 months. I have also been using Retin A cream which helps with the cell turn over. My skin care specialist told me today that the active ingredient In Lytera will actually draw the dark spot to the surface of the skin so sometimes you may have some new ones show up. The Obaji bleaching products active ingredients actually suppress the melanin. I personally prefer to flush it all out and be done with it. I'm sure its more technical with than that's what I heard.

Goes on the same as the first application. I know all sun blocks recommend reapplying after an hour or two. I seldom do, and I seem to do OK. Since this is a sun block, it is not absorbed into the skin as are chemical sun screens. A block stops sun rays from penetrating into the skin, Think shield. Unless Iam in water, or doings sweaty activities, I usually do not reapply. Hope this helps.
