    Default useing self tanner/bronzer with medium to tan skin?

    I'm a light skinned African American woman so it seems strange me wanting to be "Tanner" but I really like that golden glow instead of the red I get during the summer. Also my butt and thighs have stretch marks/scars/skin discoloration that I'm pretty sure self tan or spray tan would cover up. So I was just wondering if anyone can give me info before I waste the money.

    I am mixed and have olive/light brown skin but I look much better and healthier with some more colour. I can tan really dark but I don't want wrinkles...
    I get sallow-looking in winter and get dark circles and also slight rosy cheeks (mum is Irish).
    AND I have sensitive skin so don't like putting anything on my face apart from my usual tinted moisturiser.
    I just got a bottle of Xen Tan though for the first time so will be trying that on my body...I read lots of good reviews on this, it is meant to give a very natural olive colour.

    There's a self tanner, it's in a white plastic bottle with big orange letters..comes in extra dark, it's kinda pricey, but gets rave reviews & is used by Hooter girls supposedly. It was sold at Ulta, & I believe one of the shopping channels, I think qvc.com or hsn.com. Sorry I can't remember the name!
    Also scroll up & see the other self tanner thread, "how often u spray tan" Good luck!
