Sunless Tanner - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Hi!

I need a sunless tanner that looks natural and looks good with light skin. What Brand and the product name do you prefer and is it hard to put on??? Where can you buy it??? I need one that wont wear off or come off onto clothing, I do not want it to rub off onto my prom dress. I would appreciate any help because this is my first time working with sunless tanners. Thanks!

Carina

Oh!

Has anyone try the spray on tanners that gets sprayed on by a machine or person that you go to a salon to do??? How did you like it???

I like Banana Boat sunless tanner. It's cheap and forgiving. If you are nervous using self tanner for the first time, try mixing half moisturizer/half tanning lotion a few times until you get a feel for how dark you want to tan. Exfoliating really good before you put it on will also help get a nice even look. Have fun at the Prom!!!!

PS Be really careful around your feet, knees, and elbows, those areas tend to be dry and soak up the self tanner REALLY fast. It helps if you don't rub lotion straight on those spots, work it into the surrounding areas and blend it into those spots.

I haven't been to a salon, but I do use an airbrush tanning solution at home. I love it - it works so much better for me than the lotions. I know a lot of people who have used the salon spray-on tanners & they've been pretty happy with the results. The main thing is to find a salon that has a good rep & then try it out a couple of times before your big event, so that you can make sure you're happy with the results.

I replied to the thread "Any Suggestions" ...about Mystic tan.
I do it, it's at the salon and I love it.
I'll be going back in a couple months when the weather gets warmer and I'm not wearing bulky sweaters anymore. I like it better because I don't feel so dry & tight, also my skin isn't getting excess of UV. I get enough of that in the summer.
Check out that thread in here too, it was started basically for the same reason (fair skin).

I hope this helps.
