Spray tan?....................

[lilacben]

My daughter is getting married in june and is on about a spray tan. How long do they last and would the tan come off on her clothes if done the day before.?

The tan is done the day before and it is quite grubby looking - but it is just that the liquid is coloured so whoever is doing the spray can make sure it is even. The real tan develops under this over the next 24 hours and you can then shower the grubby stuff off. It shouldn't mark her clothes (although there might be a little staining inside areas that are tight against the skin). I had one for my wedding and there wasn't a mark on my dress afterwards.

It depends on your skin and which spraytan you go for. They tend to last about a week, they say (FakeBake and St Tropez) to do it at least 2 days before the event. You have to keep it on for 24 hours before showering. It can stain clothes before you shower it off but once that has been done it should be fine.

A spray tan is definately the way to go, I would advise that your daughter go to a salon to get it professionaly applied rather than try to do it herself. Some of the new spray tans look very natural from the word go and they can even shade certain parts of your body to make you look slimmer!
Regardless of the make of tan, I have tried St Tropez, Fake Bake and other spray tans, they all have that chemical smell and do leave a residue on your clothes regardless. The salon will probably recommend your daughter to wear loose clothing, a dress or skirt is better than trousers and also light shoes, even flip flops if possible.
As others have said the tan will last about a week, but your daughter will be able to top it up herself quite easily if she buys a good quality spray tan, like St Tropez, she will already have a good base colour, so anything she puts on top should not go streaky. I used to do this, but I would never wait until the original tan was nearly off, but used to apply any top up day 4 or 5 into the tan.
Hope this further info has helped, best wishes to your daughter, I bet she will have a lovely day!
