yellowcal Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I am extremely pale (Think transparent) and would love to get atleast a little color to my skin but would rather skip risking the skin cancer by tanning so I need a good sunless tanner that doesn't make me appear orange or stain everything I touch. Any suggestions? Link to comment

yellowcal Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks I have heard alot of people talk good about the Jergens moisturizer. So I will have to get some and try it. Do you know if its expensive? Link to comment
bmwm3 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 you know pale skin can be very sexy too... nothing grosser then lotion tan that either smells or runs.. Link to comment
dragon lady Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 This reminds me. I bought some fake tan the other day because it was really cheap. It was the Jergen's Natural Glow Express for medium to tan skin tones. I've used fake tan before, but it never really worked for me. It just kind of made me look yellowy. I thought the darker stuff might be better. Anyway, I decided to do a spot test with a tiny bit on my leg first. It was like the difference between night and day. It was so ridiculously dark. I'm so glad I didn't use all over my body. I would have had to hide from the world for a week. Hint: do a spot test first! Link to comment

Also think most of the time once the lotion dries it lightens up. I definitely plan on trying before I buy and getting the lightest color I can find. Link to comment

Do you know if its expensive? it's pretty inexpensive. i bought the older version, forgot how much it was, but i'm sure it was no more than 10 bucks. Link to comment

That way you just apply it daily and get to the color you want. I just hate applying lotion. I feel so sticky and greasy when I go to bed. I don't mind having dry skin. Link to comment

I don't mind having dry skin. maybe you should look into a light moisturizer that absorbs better. they really shouldn't feel greasy. having dry skin apparently means aging faster! Link to comment

Dry skin isn't a good thing and as another poster mentioned can make you age faster. Link to comment

Daligal83 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I used to use Jergens. I liked it, until I shaved my legs. It would shave off a lot of the color too. Plus it's very hard to reach your whole body and I didn't want weird tan/lotion lines. Has anyone used the kind for your face? Link to comment

I know, but I actually have pretty greasy skin as it is. Not like oil grease, but it's kind of clammy. Moisturizer doesn't really soak in. I hate the feeling when my legs rub together when I have it on. Link to comment
