    Default fake tanners hardly work on me anymore

    I have been a long time user of fake tanners. I have noticed in the last year that my skin no longer seems to react very well to them and I only go a light colour even with dark formulas. I used to go really dark from them.

    Can I clarify I am talking FAKE tan not tanning beds here please.

    So could it be possible that my skin is just used to them and the DHA no longer causes much of a reaction?

    This sucks I hate looking pale.

    ETA: I think ive used nearly every fake tanner there is.

    This happens to my friend too. She just seems to apply more and more for a lesser result.

    She just has to stop using fake tan for a few weeks and exfoliate really well, so the new skin comes to the top which isn't immune.

    It sucks being white for a few weeks, but it's about all I can suggest.

    I think this is happening to me too. I'll put some on, it looks great for a day and then washes off completely. I do it again and there is no tan. wtf? I'm sick of trying to change my skin color. It doesn't really work that well no matter what I do. That's why I'm always trying to find a new one I guess.

    although the older i get the more accepting i am of being pale.
    i used to be really bad, if i hadn't fake tanned i wouldn't leave the house.

    It sucks horribly because I am REALLY pale. I never went the tanning bed route more than a few times. I burn even at a low setting for a short time.

    same here. plus i pretty much just go red and then back to white - with or without peeling. just a lack of melanin. ihate it when people tell me "oh try a tan bed if u use such and such product you WILL tan" bullshit, if u dont have adequate melanin you cant tan, its impossible.

    thats why i started that thread on those tanning injections coz they deposit melanin or stimulate your body to produce more (i forget which). but i think its early days yet for that.

    blah i want to look tanned. fake tanners use to make me so dark.

    i think you might want to try spending more time in the sun or using regular tanning beds for short periods of time. it should boost your melanin production.

    also, make sure to moisturize really well and often.

    Ok I think I found the solution... Me and my best firned have been suffering from tan immunity (me from spray-tans her from home jobs) and have been cycling through different products.

    Modelco. Sooo dark. Sooo east to apply. But it is nearly $40 a can, but at priceline you get some free bottle of shimmery stuff which is actually quite nice.

    I'm now a Modelco fanatic. Fuck you Liquid sun, Fuck you Tuscan tan!!!

    *bump*

    It's happening again. I used almost a whole can of spray tan last night, the SAME tan I've been using for a few weeks now with good results. I exfoliated really well beforehand, no lotions or anything. My FEET are tan. Everything else is slightly darker than white.

    This happens to me, but I've always thought it was the product. I heard that the DHA stuff expires after 6 months or so. So, it either was on the shelf too long, or just a defective package. Cause I'll go back to the store and by another one (same brand, same stuff) and it'll work.

    This might not be what is happening with you girls, but I've had that happen to me more than once, where it was just that batch that was bad.
    I'm confused, but the Chewbacca Truffle Shuffle cleared it up. - Emily
