major stubble leg delima

silly

ok, i have a wedding in about 5 weeks (not mine)
to these kind of events, if i was wearing a dress/skirt i would get fake tan done, but when it came to the day i would have to wear tights cos the hairs on my legs would have started to grow already and can be quite visible.
i would shave them again but then the tan would come off.

but for this wedding i would like to wear some kind of strappy sandals instead of closed toe ones that i have been wearing.

i cant really wear strappies with tights

so what'll i do?
any suggestions?
terrified of my life of waxing my legs even though i know the hair wouldnt grow back so soon. i havent a very good pain threshold.

get the tan done the night before the weddin..or immac

If you're getting your tan done somewhere this works for me:
Get your tan done at least a day before the wedding,
shave your legs well before you get your tan done,
And on the morning of the wedding you can give them a quick once over with the razor (not full shave with shaving cream or anything) without taking tan off!!
Good luck!

Ins't there a product by Johnson & Johnson or Nivea that helps lighten/soften the hair on your legs. use that. Also I'd suggest getting the false tan done 2 days before in case of any diasters and gives you time to rectify it. I'm sure you can still shave with the false tan on ya. Do it when you wash the residue of the tan off. It's hardly gonna take the tan off ya.

Tights with sandals is a no no, btw!!!

You said it sister! Brings to mind smelly primary school teachers, or nuns..

Is leg waxing really that sore? I get my back done every now and then and it's really not that painful..

waxing is much better, can stop growth for upto 2weeks or so but with shaving it only takes a few days for it to grow back.

It's really not that painful.

just get them waxed!!! it's really not that sore.
you've got 5 weeks- let the hair grow for 4; get them waxed; leave it a day or two; get the tan on; and you'll have a day or two in case tan goes wrong and hair-free legs for the wedding.

I also have a similar fake tan dilema for this friday...does veet [formerly known as immac] take off fake tan? Due to time/money and hair length constraints i cant get waxed. What can i do??
help me asap!!
Thanks

If your hairs are quite thick and your skin isn't that sensitive, try epilating them.
