My tan-in-a-tube isn't working
I'm beginning to think my legs are covered not in human skin, but Saran Wrap. x(

2. What kind you use?
I got Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer.



"Creates a healthy, summer glow all year long just by moisturizing."



Bullshit!

And the comma after "healthy" isn't necessary. :P

3. Try Lancome Flash Bronzer Gel for Legs.
You can use it all over, and the damn stuff actually works without getting streaky or orange. :) You can actually see where you put it on. The main caveat is to let it dry for AT LEAST 30 minutes before you wear clothing. And wear something that can be washed if it gets the self-tanner on it. (It'll wash out...trust me!)

6. Mmmm... I'm skeptical
May I see evidence of its effectiveness on you?

7. I'm using Oil of Olay Touch of Sun
Edited on Wed Jun-13-07 02:45 PM by supernova
and I like it. I don't look so pale. And the color is very much like my own natural tan color. I already had some sun on my arms, but my legs haven't been exposed much. So I did them late last week and over the weekend. I really can't tell the difference between my legs and my arms now. So I'm very happy. ;-)

10. Huh
What'll they think of next? :shrug:




Hey, maybe... yeah! What if we could kinda, y'know, bring the sun indoors, like with a buncha lights in somethin' like a phone booth or a casket, and people could just get inside 'em and get tanned?

Like... an electric beach! :bounce:




On second thought, nah. It'd never work.

12. I used to use this stuff called Tan Perfect
You exfoliate your skin with a sponge, put it on and let it dry for 30 minutes or so. Lasts about 3 weeks. Not too bad, but the last few days of that time, it flakes off gradually.

Back in the day I used to take canthaxanthin supplements with fatty meals. But one day one of the girls at the office pointed out that my skin was orange and said I looked like a gump* with a day job. That was the end of that.
