honestly……………………..just go tanning. It is really easy and it is super relaxing. I love it. I fyou are totally against it then go to a professional salon and get MysticTan. It is a spray but it professionally done and it works great. but shave the day that you get it because when you shave it takes off some ofthe color, and be carefull because it stains.

I have used all kinds of self-tanners for the past few years trying to stay out of the sun. Different things affect how the color adheres to your skin….hormones, dry/rough patches, etc. A week is about the longest you’ll get out of a lotion but you CAN prolong the life of the tan by staying moisturized with regular lotion on days you dont self-tan and keeping exfoliating to a minimum(shaving, using a scrub/body puff, etc). I wouldnt mix regular and self-tanning lotion. If you want a gradual tan use a lotion made just for that such as Gradual Tan by Coppertone, Neutrogena and Jergens both have lotions for that. Mixing leaves you open to even more uneven patches.

I currently use the Bath and Body Works tanning lotion. It looks really good. L’Oreal Sublime Bronze is good because its tinted so you can see where you put it. The self-tanning lotions you can get in the drup store are really good. The key is rubbing it good and when you rub keep your fingers together.

Tips when you self-tan…
Exfoliate..shave your legs and use a body scrub on your elbows, face, etc.

Wash your hands as you go

Start with your legs, then arms, then torso so you dont get stripes on your belly from bending over, then face(with a self-tanner for face).

When you’re done and wash your hands put some on a cotton ball and carefully apply to tops of hands(not putting too much on knuckles).

Let dry and enjoy!

Try the Jergens for light skin formula…put it on everyday after your shower after 4 days you will have a nice even glow…If you want it a bit darker do it the 5th day and if not just do it once a week after that to mantain it…Its cheap too!…Like 5 or 6 bucks!

When you mix it with regular lotion it doesn't really work. The best way to take it slow is to just apply it really lightly. The best way to goif you have an extra 15-40 dollars is to go to a tanning salon that has spray tans. They are really easy and they look great. You can even get your cleavage and abs defined with a spray tan.

Tanning Lotions?
I would like to start getting tan. I don’t use tanning beds instead I use lotions or sprays. When I use the lotions I get uneven color. My question is if I mix tanning lotion with regular lotion will I get more even tan? I want it to take longer than the usual week because I think (I might be wrong) if I don’t get as dark as quickly I will be able to cover spots I missed before. I hope this makes sense. Thanks.
I tried the spray tanning booths like Mystic Tan. It does look great. But I’m terrified of the machine. A little pathetic I know.
