What is the gold standard in salon fake tan?

I'm going to be the world's oldest bridesmaid later this year 😁😁

I will pay anything for a fabulous fake tan, and I will test drive it first so I know it's bulletproof.

I'm fair skinned so don't want to look like I'm smeared in marmite. What's the absolute best? Is fake bake still ruling the roost?

Well if you're pale I'd definitely keep away from St Tropez.
My friends and colleagues had to admit I looked hideous.
It turned me a strange shiny khaki/gold.
4 days later it still had not settled and I heard two different families comment on me unfavorably in Sainsburys.

I haven't tried another. Instead I add 4 Isle of Paradise (pink bottle) drops to my moisturiser which really does the job.

How about getting a spray tan instead? Saves the issue of it going on streaky and patchy!

It might be OTT dark at first but I would do a trial one a few weeks before and decide which day it looked best and then book the one for the wedding in accordingly.

If not then the best I have found is Tan Luxe, I use the water spray but I think they all get good recommendations.

Depends when the wedding is? If deep mid winter, don't get a fake tan at all, embrace your beautiful pale skin. If at the end of summer, then just go out in the sun a bit! Fake tans, look fake. Sorry. JMHO.
