Default sunless tanner help-must get tan in two weeks
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

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 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!

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