Sun tans

Sandra Barnet · 06-16-2005, 09:39 AM

I dont like to get out in the sun much but I thought maybe a suntan would make the flab/cellulite look a little better? Can anyone recommend a self tanner that doesnt make you look fake and orange? I have heard good things about tanning towels?

I have heard many people raving about the new Jergen's lotion with self tanner. A friend told me that after a couple of days she really could tell a difference and that it doesn't streak or have a funny smell. Probably good it's gradual, so your not suddenly dark. I have been looking everywhere for it and all the stores near me are sold out of it. The employees I talked to said that they can't keep it in stock.

My sister-in-law is using the Jergens lotion and she looks fantastic! You'd think she's been in the sun every day for a month.

I've been trying to find it but every store in my town is sold out!

I've heard the Jergens is great. And btw yes I think tan fat looks better than white fat

I use the Jergens lotion.
Since you moisterize daily ( or should) anyway its not hard to use just wash your hands after or you end up with orange hands over time.

When you find it do yourself a favor and buy a few tubes of it since it sells out super fast.

Works great though!
Whatever you do dont go out in the sun or a booth to tan, it not only raises the risk of burning and skin cancer but the studies on the sheer amount of toxins that build up in your body with as little as 15 min of unprotected exsposer to sunlight are amazing.

I didn't like the Jergens - (it comes off each day you shower- then re-apply- shower- never has a chance to build up)

Can't find Ban De Soli anywhere - Did they stop making it?

I like the Banana Boat brand-foam-

I just started using the Neutrogena gradual tanning lotion. I put one coat on my legs on Monday, and another coat on my legs on Tuesday. My legs look good today (Thursday) and don't seem to be orange. So far, so good. I think an orange tint may depend on your skin's reaction to the lotion.

Only if you shower within a few hours of applying it. You are supposed to put it on and leave it on. When you use it correctly, it works. And I like this the best out of any others Ive used.

Christine~~ You can find it on Ebay.. do a search for BAIN DE SOLEIL RADIANCE

I like Estee Lauder's self tanner. Clinique is good too. The key is to exfoliate really really well first and make sure you do it every couple of days too.
