Well you want a tan for your big day? Try these safe and easy-to-apply options:
You can go for the gold at home or in a salon, but whichever method you choose, the first step is to exfoliate. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that inhibit absorption so to insure a more even finish and a longer tan I would suggest you do this first.
For all my DIY-er Bride's:
After shaving, exfoliating and moisturizing, make sure your skin is completely dry(Water is a barrier and can lead to uneven results). For all the tanning newbies use a product with a blend of self-tanner and moisturizer, as it will allow you to build a tan gradually for a mor authentic-looking result. Apply one layer in the morning and another in the evening this way any streaks that result from the first application will be neutralized by the second.
For All my Salon Going Bride's:
Getting a professional spray tan assures a streak-free result, but it does take a little longer to dry than the at-home verieties. Don't moisturize right before you go for your treatment. Since this forms a barrier on your skin that's hard for the spray to penetrate. It is normal for the excess to come off on fabric but it will wash out, so be sure to wear dark, loose-fitting clothes to the appointment.
With either of these treatments we recommend that you try it first a few months prior to your wedding date, then do it at least 3-4 days prior to the wedding.
