I have a wedding to go to this weekend and need a tan BAD!!! I was wondering if there are any sunless tanning lotions out there that actually work and don't look really fake and would actually make me tan by Saturday?? Has anyone tried any... what was your experience??

Thanks... :happy:

    I use Bare Escentuals faux tan and it really works with no streaking and orange color. They might sell it at Sephora or if you have a Bare Escentuals store near you. I usually buy it online but it probably wouldn't be there by Saturday for you. You'll see your color within an hour of putting it on...it's great stuff!

    google tanning salons in your area and get an airbrush tan...they look GREAT and are decent priced and last a while, you might even have time to get two treatments by Saturday....GOOD LUCK!!

    Loreal Self-Bronzing Towelettes are AWESOME! I bought them for a wedding last year and swear by them now. They are little individually wrapped towels that have the lotion in them . . . you just rub it where you want the tan and VOILA! It looks very real and doesn't streak or anything.

    I like Tan Towels. I get them for about 2 bucks at my salon, they are single wrapped in silver with black writing. No tan palms or dark knees and elbows. Have a tan in about an hour.

    i use the jergins lotion. it works good. got to use it for about a week. wash your hands after applying. i use it in the am and pm. got compliments on it!

    tan towels work great too.

    I have done self tanners before and always ended up uneven.
    I think I'd price out local salons for a spray tan.

    If you're going for an tanning spray DON'T get mystic tanned. Make sure you get air brushed. It LOOKS AMAZING and it's worth the $20-$30 it costs to get it done. If you take care of it, it will last about a week.

    I would get it done a day before the wedding oh and make sure you shave and exfoliate your whole body before you go!!

    What is mystic tan?? I've had the spray on tan before... I don't think it was mystic though... And where I got it done it cost me about 40-50 dollars....

    I had that done once before and it didn't streak at all.. I liked it alot... I did look a little orange right after I got it done, but once it soaked in good it was fine....

    Mysitc Tan is the automated spray tan booth. There's no one there actually spraying you. It's just a machine that sprays out the sunless tanner. I don't think it's very good AT ALL.

    I've been airbrushed a couple times and I have never had any problems with streaking at all. I even had it while I was in the pools in Vegas and it stayed fine. Just take care of it with LOTS of lotion!

    I like the Jergens Natural Glow, the Foaming version! Sinks in really well, doesn't look orange and a big puff covers a big area!
