Fake tan qus

Going abroad for a wedding at the weekend and as I am pastier than pasty (I hav extremely fair skin and NEVER tan - sigh) I would love to use a bit of fake tan. Usually I would have a nice spray tan to give me the glow but that’s a no go.
Any suggestions on fake tans that are safe? What do/have others used? I got some Vita Liberata because it’s organic but I never know if all the plant oils etc are safe?! Plus it contains Bladderwrack extract which according to Google isn’t good for pregnancy.
What shall I go with? Can’t face the pool in my current state (with big white bump!)

I think spray tans are not recommended during pregnancy as you can inhale them? I may be wrong haha I'm definitely not an expert! I would go for a mousse or similar, you can do them at home or go to a salon for them. I'm sure if you call the salon and ask, they will be able to help you choose the right product

Any of the creams or mousses should be fine, the NHS advice is to avoid spray tans as you end up inhaling a lot of it. And no sunbeds, obv.

I just use a cheapo gel from Rimmel. Doesn't seem to rub off on clothing but comes straight off in the bath. And grab a mitt to apply it so you avoid the tango palms!
