The best self-tanner I have found so far...
I use self-tanners a lot because I look like I should be on my deathbed if I don't. I am about as pale as it gets, and not a pretty pale, either.
It took me forever to find a tanner that didn't have a color guard that got me dark enough. Color guards are great because they show you where you have already put the self-tanner, so there are less streaks. But, I have been using self-tanners for years, so I do pretty good with getting everything very even without the color guard. I don't like color guards because I look like I was rolling around in dirt. I live with my boyfriend and even though he has seen me when I look my worse, it is still embarrassing to look muddy.
I love, love, love Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Natural Bronze Gradual Tanning Moisturizer. Even though it is a gradual tanner, I already had a light tan after waking up from the first application and I was really dark after 3-4 applications. I put it on twice a day for two days waiting 8-9 hours between applications and washing the old stuff off. Just sharing my amazing find with you girls because I see people asking questions about self-tanners a lot. I loooove it. (:
The only downside is the overwhelming chocolate-y smell. If you go out in public with it on, you might want to use perfume to try to mask the smell.... cause it is strong...
