Hi everyone, can anyone please advise me. I want to try and give myself a wee pick me up. I look in the mirror and I'm sick of seeing this grey face looking back at me. Is it OK you use gradual self tanning moisturisers?
Thank you in advance
Hello there, I don’t know how far on you are in your journey, but like you I disliked looking ‘poorly’ so I opted for putting some liquid bronzer on top of my foundation and an extra sweep of powder bronzer too! It certainly made me feel better. When I finished radiotherapy nearly 3 weeks ago, I also used fake tan on my face and arms (not my boob) and again it picked me up immensely and people commented on how they didn’t expect me to look so well!
