can I have a fake tan before going on holiday?

[mckenzie]

I am so pale at the moment on my legs and tummy etc from them having been hidden away most of this year. Can I have a fake tan and still go in the sun and tan my skin underneath?

TIA

I definitely would, or at least do a few days of the gradual tan then you won't look so pale.

I would say go for the gradual tan, then it won't be too much. Don't get a fake tan done at the salon if you are planning on going swimming as it just comes off.

I haven't really got time to do the gradual as we go on thursday - or have I?
