    If you want to tan, tan smart.

    Cover your face (like with a towel) AND wear the goggles.

    Or, just do the fake tan booth. You can get a good fake tan if you do it right.

    to get a golden base tan you need to tan at least 3 to 4 times a week to get darker, use an accelerator (they should sell them at the salon) this lotion helps you get darker faster so you don't need to tan as much. always use eyewear! use sunscreen on your face, a moisturizer w/ spf works well ( i recommend Dove Essential Nutrients Day Lotion). Use a tan extender lotion (other lotions such as Jergens and Suave brand products contain bleaching agents which can bleach out your tan) I recommend either Hempz Lotion or Australian Gold's Tan extender both are awesome and will help keep your skin tan. Should you decide to keep tanning. Once or twice a week will maintain your tan.

    There are tons of sunless tanners on the market and some totally suck while others are quite good. But not each one works for everyone--you have to play around with different brands.

    A sunless tanner without bronzer will give you a tan that won't run at all--it's pretty much like a real tan, except it doesn't last as long and when it starts to fade, it can do so unevenly (exfoliating on a regular basis and especially BEFORE you apply it helps this). It does take some practice to get good at using sunless tanner and can be a pain in the ass, but if you take the time, it can look great and won't do any lasting damamge like the sun or tanning beds can.

    One of the ones I've found to be easiest to use is the Neutrogena spray. There's also the Neutrogena Sunless Tanner and Bronzer in One foam. Works well because you can see where you've already put it. But you can't do much besides stay home for at least 6 hours until it's set, because the bronzer (as you experienced) will run if you sweat or get wet or anything (it also doesn't look very natural, in my experience). But after you wash off the bronzer, the tan it leaves you with does look great.

    I'm not really a fan of the nutrogena foam. It dries so fast so you have to do little patches at a time. Plus it leaves my skin so dry. I will say the color is nice though. My fave is flash bronzer mousse by Lancome.....smells nice, moisturizes, and the brozer is glittery

    I use Savage Bronze....its a foam and it looks like dirt when you apply it, but when its settled it looks totally real. Not orangey at all.
    I got it at Sally's. They had 3 bottles. One is an exfoliator, the second is the foam, and the third is a glittery bronzer you apply to look pretty and golden.

    Clinique lotion w/ bronzer is great- looks really natural.

    If you're going to fake tan I recommend staying away from the accelerators with dha bronzer until you get a good base tan(swanky girl is the brand my salon has been pushing)

    The color looks good but if you don't blend it in well (and I do mean blend) you'll be covered with dirty looking streaks.
