Fake tan and jacuzzi?

8 replies

Going on holiday next month, and will have use of a jacuzzi in apartment.
Would usually have a spray tan before going away, to improve the look of spider veins on legs, and cellulite on thighs!
But I wonder if it would last long if using a jacuzzi, and what I could do as an alternative pre holiday prep.
Maybe use my usual body lotion ( Cerave),with added Clarins tanning drops, and continue while I'm away?

In my experience it'll come off straight away - think about how patchy your spray tan goes when it starts to come off, that's how I find tan goes oh my legs after a jacuzzi/hot tub (spray tan and self applied mousse tan)

I would say maybe use a gradual moisturiser with tanning agent in it - it shouldn't be as obvious that it's coming off as it won't go anywhere near as dark as your spray tan

Oh also when I've been in a situation like this I use the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs spray all over my body - I put a latex glove on, spray the tan onto my gloved hand so it forms a pool and then rub it wherever I want. You can get dressed about ten mins after letting the waterproof one dry. Goes a lovely golden colour

I rented a cottage for a hen weekend and we all had to promise not to wear fake tan as the owner said it ruined the hot tub as the chemical take it straight off and it stains that tub.

I did think about having a few sunbed sessions, but after the first one, I saw sense.
Also, I've had breast surgery, and realised that scars don't tan.
I don't want to be dark brown, just sort of "airbrushed"!

It'll fade a bit faster but it will still be on. I have bad veins and spray tan but I always use Mac face and body over the top as well which is quite waterproof. Sally Hansen is awful stuff. Looks like old lady tights

I went on a hen do and some of our party used the hot tub. It was grim. All the foam went brown and I think we lost the deposit iirc.

@chubbyhotchoc that's just your opinion though Smile

@chubbyhotchoc that's just your opinion though Smile I personally haven't had any problems with it
