Will Airbrush Tanning rub off and stain my dress?

I am taking my bridals soon and I know I will sweat like crazy outside. Will my airbrush tan rubb off and stain my wedding dress?

no, but i have seen it 'flake' off if your skin gets dry or when it's more than  a week old.  If you don't tan normally, I wouldn't do it.  I think it's better to look natural in portraits.  If anything, use some bronzer on your cheek, jawbones and shoulders.

I had rub off once at a formal dance.  It stained my dress along the bustline and under the arms.

This has happened to me as well.

I would just tan for a month (just a couple times a week) before your wedding.  You'll get a nice color without looking overly tan and fake.  Plus laying out or going to a tanning place will help you relax during what will be a stressful month.

I have tanned for weddings before and I go to the tanning salon.  Just for about 8-10 minutes in the bed twice a week  and I usually fall asleep so it can be very relaxing lol.

I have had a spray on tan and loved it.  It did not seem to come off on anything after I had showered.  It looked best for the first three days, then it sort of started to wear off in some places. 

I'm not sure about airbrush though.  Is that with a makeup type spray?  That very well might come off on your dress.

I get an airbrushed tan in the summer, but it's a self-tanner. When it's sprayed on, it's a bronzer, so you leave it on for the rest of the day. You shower the next morning, and the bronzer washes off and you are left with a subtle tan. I love it!
