I am considering going to a (junior high!!) reunion in two weeks.
Losing 15 pounds and hooking up with some rockstar boyfriend is not an option, so right now I'm focused on some small changes :D
What GOOD tanner or tanning cream would you recommend? I am willing to spend some $$, but not too much. I have tried the Jergens cream before, but I felt like it took a while to work and still looked a bit orange.
It is also a pool party :duh: so it has to be something that will stand up to the pool (on the total OFF chance I actually get my butt in the pool, of course!)
TIA!!

I really like Pur Minerals "Get a Little". Its a good color for me and it works quickly. Its smell is among the least offensive I've tried.

I would just go for a spray tan a few days before the event. Works better than any self tanner I have ever used and usually is more uniform/consistent with less streaks or places you "missed".

This is what I would do too. I have done it twice this year for big events, one of which required me to be in a bathing suit. I was so happy with the results.
I went to a place where they do it for you by hand with a spray gun as opposed to the Mystic Tan booths.
I would go 2-3 days before the event.

Spray Tan (VersaSpa is way better than Mystic - plus, the VS machine has a heater AND dries you!) supplemented with Tan Towels, buy them at Sephora or HSN.com . Go gently around your feet - but they are incredible, I love them!

PS)- important!! All sunless/self tanners will fade off with chlorine. The DHA doesn't love it. So if you get in, jump in, don't just dangle your legs! :wink2:

Another vote for spray tan...I had one recently for the first time and loved the results!

Go for the spray tan about a day or so before, the color develops for about 8 hrs after, best time is to go in the evening and then don't shower till the morning.
