    Default self tanners??? questions

    I use self tanners (creams and gels) all the time. I would never go in a tanning bed cause im totally afraid of any cancer or anything. anyways, when i danced a year ago i didnt even bother with any type of tanning and i had this thought the other day....does self tanner show up weird under, say like black light type lights that they do have in some clubs. they illuminate weird stuff and im afraid it would really emphasize any imperfections in the distribution of the tanning cream. anyone got an insight???? this may be a totally stupid question but I have been pondering it a couple days.

    I always use self tanners and have never had a problem. The only thing can be the blotchy look you sometimes get from overuse. I think you're good. Just keep an eye out in the mirrors!

    I use The Sally Hansen Airbrush legs on my entire body. You just spray it on and rub it in. No stange glowing on the floor or streaks and it looks natural. I like to be tan ITC and be my pasty self OTC. I highly recommend it.

    the self tanner i use just looks dark and sexy. it's never looked weird.

    it might look splotchy if not applied correctly, though.

    I was just going to say - Have you tried the mystic spray tanner? There's another one that's suppose to be better. I can't think of the name. Do a search on SW, you will find it.

    I use L'oreal self- tanner--it's in a clear and orange bottle. This has worked very well for me in the past--I seem to have fewer problems with splotchiness, and it has never shown up in the club. It also tends to stick to my skin better.

    I hate tanning beds too.. bc skin cancer.. but I jergens is too light, and everything else I use SUCKs!!! This girl talked me into a this 30$$ bottel of spray tanner and she said it has lasted her 3 months.. well it lasted me two weeks and I called them back, because it flaked off I was pissed but they wouldnt give me my money back.. I will never go there again, and I tell everyone do not do business with Bronze body, in southeast texas.. If a business pisses me off and wont do anything to help fix it .. I totally bash them =)

    I use Sunlabs and its awesome. Doesnt have that tanner smell to it (it smells kind of like cherry-almond lotion)which is important because the smell of self tanner makes me violently nauseous.

    I got mine on ebay for @ $25. Its HUGE and will likely last me for years. Ive never had a problem with it showing up odd either on stage or on film.And I'm SUPER pale naturally.

    I've heard the Clarins stuff is good. And I got the Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder Mist a few weeks ago, and it's FANTASTIC. Apparently all the Guerlain Terracotta line is really good, but it's also expensive.

    Versa Spa... I just tried it. I liked the color and the smell wasn't as strong as the Mystic. The tan wasn't totally even though. One of my hands ended up darker than the other. It's also suppose to last longer.

    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.
