Fake & Bake

[Starblossom]

Okay so summer is almost here, and I want to look tan without getting skin cancer. Does anyone have fake tanning lotions/sprays to suggest?

I don't know if it's vegan but I have a lot from a few summers ago, but the Neutrogena Sunless tanning Foam is really good. You've just got to make sure you get the back of your legs. It shows up when you put it on so you can see where its already on, but unless you have a full length mirror nearby it's kind of hard to see back there :sunny:

Whoo, I thought this was going to be a thread about going tanning. I was going to pull out that head beating smiley and tell you not to do it! Yay for you NOT getting skin cancer!

brownie: thanks for the suggestion!

strawberry:thanks for not beating me with a crowbar, or whatever it is the little smiley dude is holding! :)

I have tried almost every tanner out there over the past 10 years. I found the best one this year. It's new, it's by L'Oreal, it's called Sublime Bronze. I have been using the gel. No idea as to if it's AR ok... it's about the only product I don't check because it's so hard to find a decent one...:(

I'm going to try that Meatless. I'm so white it's not funny. I need some colour! Thanks :)

I've given up on sunless tanners, so let me know which product wins. I keep waiting for the pale look to come in, my current foundation color is "clear" if that tells you anything :)

Vanity, thy name is tan.

Arbonne just launched a brand new "befoRE sun" product line with some really cool products. One is a heat & sun activated self tanner with SPF 15. So you can enjoy the sun while getting a fake tan. We also have a regular self tanner with SPF 15. It's liquidy and comes in a pump spray bottle.
I have learned from a friend of mine who is a body builder that a better way to apply liquid self tanner is to use a sponge - like one of those gray colored craft sponges on a stick. I don't think that would work for a lotion product though.

Really? That sounds kind of scratchy actually.

Try checking out www.sunless.com It has tons of reviews of different products and directions on how to apply it correctly. I don't use the stuff myself, but hopefully you'll find the site useful! Good luck!
