remember, when Gulliver traveled....

when would you do this? tanning related.

I want to go get spray tanned for next weekend (I got to Brazil Bronzer)

my dilemma is WHEN.

next Thurs is bachelorette party in the evening.

next Friday is my nieces Graduation, in the evening.

Saturday is spa day early, and rehearsal and dinner after

Sunday is wedding.

you have to wait a minimum of 12 hours technically before you can shower....and I'd rather not have streaky legs in my hot dress. Chat Icon

It seems like I am going to have to be a yucky spray tanned mess for one of these events Chat Icon so which would you pick?

TIA

Why not go Wednesday after work? The last time I got spray tanned, it lasted over a week.

After Spa before rehearsal dinner, then Sunday morning you can shower and you will still look nice and tan.

My spray tan lasted 3 days.

I recently did a spray tan and liked how my color looked best on the 3rd day, but ITA with the above if you're doing a pedi at the spa, or anything that might involve scrubbing of the legs & feet. If you've already done the spray at that point, the exfoliation could make the color uneven.

Agreed. They'll scrub it off in the spa!

Graduation, there will be less photos taken of you all streaky.

Bachelorette and the rehearsal, you'll be in photos.

This is a good point. Perhaps get some Jergan's or Neutrogena self tanning lotion from the drug store in case you need to even out the color.

Girls on here swear by Sally Hansen airbrush legs (or something like that). That might be good to have on hand too, just in case. I've never tried it though.

If they soak your feet, they will turn white up to your ankle/level of the water. BTDT!!!!

My first thought was to say Wed before everything started because they tend to last a few days but then I saw you were going to the spa on Saturday. I'd agree with the other girls and try to fit it in between the spa and rehersal. I think it'll get all messed up at the spa otherwise.
