Tanning before the wedding

[Heidi]

I'm quite pale skinned and don't want to look like a ghost on our wedding day.
I cant use tanning beds because our LO is due in the next couple of weeks, and i've never had a spray tan done before so feel its a bit risky to just go and have oner with out having a trial run 1st, i wouldn't want to look orange on the day either lol
So i've got till the 22nd May to get my skin looking good.

What is everyone else doing for their big day? especially if your naturally pale skinned?

Any one know of any good moisturiser tanner.

Fake bake is great as it won't transfer onto your dress like a spray tan would. Why not book into a salon and have a fake bake done professionally? They will exfoliate, moisturise and then apply it and it is guaranteed to be streak free. Would be nice and relaxing with you being pregnant too!

^^^ Oooh i like the sound of that, does it go quite orange though? How far in advance should i get it done?

I'm naturally pale skinned so I've been using tanning beds, but I'm not pregnant. I would be very careful with the spray tans. I know from experience that they can look orange and splotchy. I would definitely suggest getting it done professionaly and doing a trial before the wedding so you know the company will do a good job. Good luck!

I had a St Tropez one done at our local beauty salon on the Friday evening and got married on the Sunday, I had a lovely glow for March Would highly recommend it.

There's some tinted lotions that slowly give your skin a natural-looking glow. I don't use them though. I'm happy being pasty white. LOL

Theyre tanning stuff is great too, i've attached the pic of it for you, its just a gradual moisturiser but its really nice on your skin

Spray tans can be worn with a white dress without rub off it all depends on the brand and if its applied correctly.

A spray tan that looks orange has been appiled too heavily and if its splotchy, application (therapist) is usually to blame. The ingredients in the tan make a huge difference, you want something thats moisturising (not drying) so no alcohol and natural / organic in its ingredients

Hi I'm getting married next year and I'm very pale skinned so I'm going to a beauty salon, one that i have been to before.. if you get a tan do it 2 days before the wedding day otherwise it will come off on your dress
