Spray Tanning

No .. the only thing i have ever come accross once was where a woman had an allerigic reaction and turned green ! that was once out of all the years i have been doing it.

I would recommend with you to maybe leave it on 10 hours, and also unlike the advice normally given do not moisturize the night before, it can sometimes act as a barrier against the tan.

Other advice I would give to brides is start up a strict routine of exfoliating and daily mosturizing in the weeks leading up to the tan, this will ensure perfect results. Also It is better to wax/ veet your legs/ armpits a few days prior to the tan as you cannot shave whilst it is developing, and I always
find if your shaving whilst the tan is on it can make it fade in them areas and also go patchy

I'm very pale and I'm going to have a few sunbeds leading up to the wedding, even just so my skin is white and not blue lol

I wouldn't have a spray tan incase it went streaky, eek!

I had a fake bake tan done by a lady who visited us at someone's house (not for a wedding, just for fun) - I am very pale, but with freckles, and it looked superb, even OH liked it, and he was really rude about people who get tangoed before we went. I had the palest one, on the advice of the lady

I would try it, and see how you like it. I much preferred it to a natural tan, which always has strap marks with me, and much more even than a moisturiser one. I wouldn't do it often though, I did think it was expensive for a one-off "make-up" effect.

If you want to try a gradual tan moisturiser i think the best one is the Dove one. With the johnsons i get a bit of an orangey colour but that might just be me! Prepare to smell like fake tan for about 2 weeks though!
Also get a specific face one as the body one can be a bit greasy on your skin

Thanks guys, actuall you've really put my mind at rest - I am going to give it a go I think. Then I can make my decision.

I must admit, it does sound less hassle and presumably wont stink of tan.

Thanks

Hi,

I had exactly the same thoughts as you and would suggest you have a trial run and then make up your mind. Beware though, it's freezing! :eek:

I had it done at night thinking I would sleep while it was developing. I wasn't told that it had a dye in it until after I had it done and would have to wear pyjamas in bed (not a normal occurrance!) The smell was disgusting and my fianc! and I didn't sleep very well because of it. When I washed it off in the morning it looked ok, but within a few days had become patchy and dirty-looking. (I had thoroughly exfoliated and moisturised for days before.) Also, I had self-adhesive pads attached to my feet to prevent discolouration, but when they were removed, they left sticky bits on the bottom of my feet which took forever to scrub off. :mad:

In the end, I didn't bother having a spray tan for my 2nd wedding, I used a body lotion with a devloping colour which didn't come off on my clothes and I felt that having to wash my hands afterwards nowhere near as fiddly as the pyjamas in bed and sticky feet!

Good luck with whatever you decide and I hope you have the perfect day. (Mine was the happiest day of my life!) :T
