Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Does anyone else have a problem w/ almost being allergic to self tanners??? It has been a HUGE problem for me b/c I¹m really pale and I need some tanner to make me look alive and healthy! They seem to make my legs itch...any ideas? I¹ve been using some of the more gradual ones...the new Jergens lotion ones but they don¹t seem to give enough color. Any organics you guys have heard of???? Any ideas are appreciated! > i don't understand this question > maybe there are different kind of blonds but I am a dark skinned blond > naturally -- olive skin blond hair (well i was blond as a kid and now > i use the bottle) > and there is no tan that looks too dark on me. > felicity > > >> > I think it would be ok too...I'm kind of light brownish blonde, and it >> > looks natural on me.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I haven't used that brand, but I'm addicted to self tanners... St. Tropez is good... Really messy tho, and you have to do it at night and basically wear a turtleneck and pants to bed or it will get all over the sheets, but great color and it last a long time Estee Lauder spray is GREAT too... No funky smell, and it fades really well And when I'm broke.... I use Bananna Boat self-adjusting mousse. Again, not so much of a bad smell, and REALLY good color Off Topic - Tanning > Have any of you used Fake Bake tanner?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I LOVE Neutrogena Micro Mist Tanning Spray for " deep " color. I like it because it's a fine spray that you don't have to rub in (so no colored cuticles like I get with the cream, I got that even when I washed my hands really good). And you can get the tops of your hands and feet tan without having that line from creams. I just put it on before bed and wear a T shirt to sleep in and this brand doesn't get on the sheets-- it doesn't have a bronzer though, just takes about 5-8 hrs to get to its darkest. > > I haven't used that brand, but I'm addicted to self tanners... > > St. Tropez is good...

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Neutrogena Micro Mist Tanning Spray is the best, and it comes out in a fine mist, which makes it easy to apply. Believe me...I have tried dozens of tanners, for the money this is a good one. Pam dmarie3441 wrote: I LOVE Neutrogena Micro Mist Tanning Spray for " deep " color.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Sounds good. I am wondering if you would say it is to " deep " for blondes? TM > > I LOVE Neutrogena Micro Mist Tanning Spray for " deep " color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I am blond and I get compliments all the time asking if it is Mystic Tan (that is the place that spays the tan on). If you want something a little lighter, go for the tanning lotions. Coppertone makes a good one, and so does Neutragena, there are tons of good ones. I use the lotions also because they make the tan last longer. I also advise anyone to use lotion of any type. The act of rubbing the lotion in will help in making your skin look better. I massage my skin with lotion several times a day. Some say it helps with cellulite, but I find it improves the texture of the skin. Pam tjay1302000 wrote: Sounds good.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I think it would be ok too...I'm kind of light brownish blonde, and it looks natural on me. I think they make a lighter one-- it comes in 3 formulas I think. > > > > I LOVE Neutrogena Micro Mist Tanning Spray for " deep " color. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a HUGE problem for me b/c I¹m really pale Check the ingredients and compare products here: http://www.sunless.com/ The above site has lots of tips on how to use sunless tanners, top 10 products, and reviews too so you can find one that might work for you. Yes you dont have to look orange these days from using sunless tan products! Just a side note - please remember to always use daily moisterizers, makeup etc with a SPF sun protector factor in it. It may not always seem to be sunny outside, or you dont think you spend much time out in the sun enough to warrant use but believe me your skin needs it. Please protect it on a daily basis. joni ------------------------------------ *who wonders why many people think a tanned face looks 'healthy'? I think a paler luminescent face that has a natural healthy 'glow' to it way more appealing/healthy looking than sun damage* JMHO :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
