Jet Tan

19 years ago

Has anyone tried Jet Tan from HSN? Can you actually cover your own body with it? Doesn't it get over everything in your bathroom? How does the self-tanner in it work? Does it go on blotchy?

Summer is almost over - has anyone tried Jet Tan or any of those spray on tan units yet?

I have been using a aerosal spray on tan on my face & neck (neutrogena) since I use plenty of sunscreen there but it might be fine in the winter when I have no other color but doesn't make me feel like I actually have a tan when the rest of my body does have some color.

I keep meaning to ck out Hollywood Tan's spray on tans (anyone tried that either?), but it's not cheap, but may try it soon since I am going to Paadise Island at the end of Sept & don't want to get there with no color.

Just wanted to chime in, I've had a model 10323 since 98 or so and it ran pretty decent for many years though always had a lean surge most of you speak of but cutting through the grass it would power through well.. One thing I did last year was changed out the plug with an E3 plug from Lowes and that made a noticeable difference, not quite as bad but I knew it could run better. A couple of weeks ago the surge got worse, cleaned out the carb which looked pretty good but found the pilot jet (under the sticker) clogged, in the meanwhile I found this thread and went ahead picked up some bits at Hobbytown USA ($21) and did the jet bore out mod as mentioned and it is a totally different machine! As jarall described unleashing a monster, no friggin joke! It felt so good I wanted to cut the whole neighboorhood! This baby is good for another 20+ years the way its running, have another of the same model I acquired when I found out 2 strokes were no more. Would be nice if they would bring 2 strokes back with a simple fuel injection, there is 2 stroke technology supposedly that is cleaner than existing 4 strokes, or how about a small clean diesel? I know I'm dreamin, I wont need another lawn mower for the rest of my life, dont think this thing is breakable.

Self-Tanners

I have also used serveral self-tanners and have been allergic to them all. I have even tried hypoallergenic self-tanners but still get a horrible rash from them that can last a couple of weeks. Have you had any luck with self-tanners since posting your lost post? I now think its the dha added in self-tanners. This it the main ingreient in all self-tanners. Anyway I have an appointment with the dermatoligist later this week to find out what I'm allergic to. Lets hope its not the dha or I wont be able to use any self-tanners apart from the bronzers that wash off or fade by the end of the day.

I might question the skimmer and returns. I would think that most pools that size would have (2) skimmers, one at each end and at least 4 returns. We are doing a 33' x 17' free form and have (2) skimmers and 5 returns (one is for the Pentair pool cleaner). You also list your Pentair and pool and spa cleaner and I don't think it will clean the spa. As far as softening it, my guess is that he is referring to the large amount of concrete you have and that it is mainly one big piece. Maybe put some flower beds along the house to break it up a little. Or maybe trim some of the decking to give it a more flowing look less square?

Jet Mist with greige cabinets?
Q
Comments (16)
Hi ccissell - I will post a pic of the cabinets, but it will be a little while (still a work in progress!). The color looks different depending on where in the room, time of day, etc. Sometimes it looks gray, sometimes it's putty, sometimes it's tan. I kind of like that you can't really tell what it is :) We used the BM Advance paint, and were REALLY happy with it. Tried one of the cabinet transformations kits first, and that paint was really hard to work with. The advance was great to work with, minimal brush marks and the finish looks really good. We did a ton of prep, which helped, and two coats of the BM Advance primer. I would recommend it, for sure. We have not picked a wall color yet...may do a lighter shade on the same card, or an off white since the room does not get much natural light.

I haven't tried any of the tanning sprays simply because I have visions of me looking like a zebra. I have seen friends 'zebra-fied' at "professional" places so I have no doubt I would become part of the herd:-)

I recently bought Jet tan. I love the gun, not very messy, even color(not blotchy) and the DHA in it stains the skin 4 hours after you wash the instant airbrush color off. But, I dont think I like the color itself. It looks orange to me just like all other self-tanners. E-mail me to look at my results from using Jet tan twice. Please let me know if the color is orange or yucky! BE HONEST! ReenaKisses8589@hotmail.com...Thanks!

Realize original post is a little old. Just wanted to let the self-tanners out there know about 2 products I have found to be very natural and not at all orange. Fake Bake and St. Tropeiz. Unfortunately I am allergic to Fake Bake. Both are mousse applications and being a self-tanner for over 15 years, I have it down pat. Use disposible latex gloves. Can pretty much do my entire body. You will notice a little brown in the water after your first shower. If you can, do the application and don't shower for 24 hours. Just makes it a little darker. I put the St. Tropeiz on and go out for the day. The color is brown when you apply it so you can see where you are putting it, not to miss any spots, but you can still go out once it drys because it looks very natural. Both products are very subtle. I have had problems with spray tans. Hollywood was a disaster with that booth thing and turning around, etc. I looked like an orange the next day, spotty just plain horrible and it took a week to scrub it off. Other personal spray tanning gave me trouble one year I kept getting a itchy rash and had to stop going, thus the St. Tropeiz. Not itchy at all after using it all the time this past summer. No time to lay in the sun for an even tan even if I wanted to possibly take the risk of skin cancer.
