Can Brown-Skinned Women Have Their Skin Bronzed?
I am African American with a Reddish-Brown complexion. I tan Cocoa-Brown in the summertime, but I would like an all over glow/shimmer , not just a tan. I have used makeup bronzers before, but they get all over my outfits and become really messy when I sweat. I have heard of fair/light-skinned women having their skin tanned or or bronzed but I've never heard of brown/dark-skinned women having it done. I am wondering if anyone knows about black women having their skin bronzed. Have you/do you know someone had it done or have you heard about it before and if so what were the end results? Ladies I really need some feedback. Thanx.

a friend of mine back home does the tanning beds every summer to even out her skin tone...and she's brown skinned (i'm talking naomi campell (sp?) brown)...so it is done by some...

Thanx Topaz, does it look good?
Re:Can Brown-Skinned Women Have Their Skin Bronzed?
i thought it did...tanning gave her a richer color...and it did even out her skin tone...don't know how many sessions she went in for though...but with her skintone already being brown...probably not a lot...
if you do decide to do the tanning thing...don't forget the tanning lotion...we tan faster yes...but we still need protection too...i use sunblock (especially on my face) everyday...all year round...

Yeah. celebrities do it all the time, take a look at ashanti rock wit you video. she uses a bronzer as well as janet is a regular at mystic tan.just go for it, its not permanent so you don't need a comitmit. just because you dont know of any other black women doing it dose not mean that you should be afraid to try it. as long as it's safe, go for it.

My best advice would be to mix a bronze gold shimmer powder with body lotion. your skin will glow and it will reflect light away from any imperfection on the skin

Nivea and Jergens both make shimmer lotions, they are both goldish. I use the one by Nivea, it really adds a glow, it doesn't stain your clothes if you let it dry for a minute before getting dressed. I've also used some stuff I got from kmart, don't remember what it was called, they only had it in small sample sizes. It was a very thick copper color shimmer lotion. If they sold it in larger packages it would be my favorite.
