Fake tan

Hi Langkawi22 , not a trivial question at all! But sorry I don’t know. Hopefully my reply will bump your thread back up to the top and someone who does know will see it. Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding, a lovely event after your radiotherapy. Love and hugs, HFxx

Hello bride to be.  Congratulations and I hope you have the most amazing day possible.

Have a look at the Moo Goo skincare website. I bought a load of their chemo friendly stuff and it is wonderful.  Very gentle natural products .  They do a whole range of self tanning bundles and their prices are really good for what you get. 

With best wishes and a hug. 

Huge congratulations on your wedding.

Best to speak to the radiologists about this. Radiotherapy is very harsh on your skin, with a lifetime of covering up needed on the side you get done. 

It also peaks 6 weeks after you stop so it will be getting worse for your wedding rather than better.

Hopefully your team can advise you on something suitable, but I would seek their advice and stick to it as they will know better than anyone what you need to do with your skin during this time.

Hope your wedding is fabulous.

Hi. Just wondering if you used these. I finished radiotherapy 3 weeks ago and am wondering about if I can use tanning drops. Hope the wedding day went well xx

I’d stick to whatever your treatment team okays, as freshly zapped skin can be touchy. I’ve used So Damn Tanned nasal tanners before big events, but only once my skin was fully settled, and even then I patch-tested first. If you’re moisturising a lot, maybe try a light, gradual tan on an unaffected area first and see how your skin behaves before committing for the wedding.

Hi!

I use tropic products that are organic and chemical/additive free. They do sun drops that you add to your moisturiser. Check first of course with your radiologist, or breast care nurse may be able to advise on this.

Hi, I was a fake tan user for 30 years before surgery.  Then I went cold turkey.

Fake tans tend to put a bit of a film on your skin, so your moisturiser/gel after radiotherapy won't sink in properly. And it's sooo important to keep moisturizing like a mad thing.

What i am now doing is adding a tanning cream to my body lotion. I am using skinny tan 7 day tanner and this works-but my skin feels so much softer and less dry than with a tanning mousse . It won't last like a true fake tan though.  But will see you through the day, and will also disguise any redness from the RT.

I still use mousse on my legs, but once current supply has run out-im swapping to MooGoo, as i love their natural deodorant as disabled udder cream.

Congratulations on your wedding x
