Self-Tanners
Spray ones VS. Lotion? Which one do you think is better? I mean like ones from Wal-mart I'm not going expensive I just want to add a lil color to my pasty white legs when i go to the wedding next month! I really dont wanna wear hose they are itchy and its gonna be super hot!!
ok so just updating the wedding was nice even though we didnt know many people! i didnt get time or money to get tanner so i had to deal with my whitenes LOL! but i uploaded a pic yall can see if yall like to show you!! My dress looked amazing i think! hubby didnt want me to leave the house with it on lol!
jergen's has a tanner and it works well. i have used it many times before. it is a gradual tanner...so you can stop at any point. i would start two days before the wedding...applying only twice. that way you just "knock off" the white and have a natural look.
self tanning lotions are actually easy to use. the trick is to make sure you spread it evenly. do NOT apply directly to the tops of your feet and toes. instead, when you apply it to your legs...just use your hand to lightly drag it down over the top of your feet. make sure that you really rub it in good on all places that have dryer skin or creases (knees, ankles, top of your heal area, like where a pair of shoes would hit).
get some now and practice...lol. it is easy as long as you blend well.

Hi, you definitely need to use some body scrub before you put the self-tanning stuff on. It gets rid of the rough surface and makes the application more smooth and even. Trust me, it makes a big difference.
Anyway, I'm a ghost, too and have tried both the spray and creams. I voted for the spray stuff. I've used Neutrogena spray. I loved it and it gave me a pretty bronze color and wasn't orange. The trick is to rub it in right after you spray it on. Spray one body area at a time and rub it in immediately. Like do your lower leg first-rub it in, and then do your thigh and rub it in. You get the best results doing it that way.
Although I haven't tried it yet, I've heard great things about those tanning wipes. My mom loves it and I've had people swear by Loreal's Sublime tanning wipes. If you're very nervous about messing up, this might be your best bet.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!! =)

looks like i need to read the fine print better this next time LOL!! All the reviews on it though look good so i think i will try it and see!!
I got it from Amazon, and got quick delivery.
Which site did you order through? i ordered stuff through Amazon last time cus the price was cheap and it took the full 2wks to arrive!! I want to it arrive faster if im gonna get it so I can try it b4 the wedding!
I just put it on and then went over it with a dry washcloth to keep the excess off the sheets. Only a little came off in the shower. I applied it for about 3 days to get the color I wanted and it lasted about 4 days beyond that. If needed I could have kept it up by reapplying every 2-3 days.
I got it mail order but it came really fast. I thought it was worth the effort, which was not really much, and I got a really good result.

Can u buy this at any store or salon? ordering online could take a really long time!!
I was just reading up on this fake bake it says you have to apply lotion b4 putting it on and u have to sleep with it then wash it off the next morning!! Do you really got to do all that? and is it worth it?
I found a great one that is a mousse. Its called Fake Bake. It is easy to apply evenly and it gave me a nice tan color - no hint of orange. I had to go to a wedding in California and I had just done a long course of chemo that made me super sun sensitive. Everybody else was looking tan and healthy and I was fishbelly white and almost completely bald. I got a great silk scarf for my bald head and some Fake Bake for my legs and it looked great. Its not cheap, about $15 for a can, but a little goes a long way.
Well if you got Irish heritage and didnt tan i guess that means im jacked too!! Cus thats what my family says we got Irish in us and we are super white! My legs will blind ya LOL! My arms do ok they look pretty good if i get in the sun but my legs forget about it!!
I just didnt wanna blind every1 at this wedding im going to since im gonna wear a dress and all but i think i will get the spray and try it out and im gonna get more of the everyday use lotion that seemed to help when i was using it at least i didnt look so pale!!

Now that I have Lupus I can't go in the sun. My husband was moaning that he wants me to have a tan. I am very white. I bought some self-tanner lotion and said if he wants me with a tan he can rub it on. Hasn't happened... At least we will still look youthful in our old age.
I personally am unable to tan, thanks to my Irish Heritage! The one time I used a fake tan, I looked like a lollipop. Orange skin, with red hair...totally FAKE!
BUT, if I had to, I would go for lotion. I have seen one on the market that has a colour in it that as you put it on you can see where you have been. Can't remember the brand though!

I wish i was naturally tan it would be nice but nope i super white everywhere!! I would love to go and get a natural tan but the whole skin cancer thing really freaks me out too! Does any1 know if it hurts to just go every now and then and not all the time?
Go to the web and look for comparisons. Here is a good one http://www.consumersearch.com/sunless-tanning
I also voted neither. Both lotion and spray make you look orange. However, they do sell stuff at drugstores that helps you get a tan. Natural tan looks wayyy better. Good luck and have fun at the wedding!
Voted neither. I don't use any of them. I'm pretty naturally tanned anyway from just being in the shade. My son on the otherhand is light complected. He used a lotion for a few days. We had to go to a funeral and when we were all outside, I happened to look up and noticed his eyebrows were orange! He did not know and was completely unaware of it! : D So be careful not to apply to eyebrows.
I like the lotion the best, you have more control over how you apply it. I have tried the spray on one, and when it darkened, man, was my color uneven, it was awful. LOL.
