To fake tan or not before sun holiday?

[Doximama2]

Booked a last minute sun holiday for Saturday and am white as a ghost post winter. Wondered if anyone fake tans before holiday and if so does it become streaky and messy from swimming and sun tan cream? I only use the garnier gradual tan lotion not a full on fake tan. Interested what people do, any advise welcome !!! 🙏

Someone talk to me about spray tan for people like me that are practically transparent! What am I looking for to make sure I don’t end up looking like Ross in friends? How do I prep?

It’s not a grammatical error 🙈😂

I’m amazed that some people still sunbathe in this day and age. It’s so bad for you, not to mention the ageing factor.

I have skin that would tan easily (and when I was a teenager I certainly did my share of sunbathing), but now I do everything I can to avoid exposure to the sun. I sit in the shade, wear a hat, wear SPF50 all year round.

Fake tans are excellent nowadays and any ‘real’ tan is damaging your skin.

The gradual tans are great for holiday

I rarely "lol" on MN these days but this really made me laugh!

I do this too and it makes my DH laugh as he says I should get a natural tan! No thanks as I look young
for my age thanks to spf50 on my face every day!

I’ve started getting a spray tan before holiday and use gradual tan when I’m on holiday. I can get a good natural tan but prefer to be careful nowadays & use strong SPF etc. My face & arms have a natural bit of colour but my legs & wobbly bits are usually very white 😂

Back at ya my love 😘
