alrighty, it hit 76degrees tuesday and i broke out my (pink,white and gray camo) bikini. Houston, we have a problem. this winter, i got pale. Pasty. Almost transparent. In the right light, i look like those geckos you hold to the light and can see their tiny lizard organs. Supercute on them, not on me. Since we're still getting cold snaps, i was wondering how to jump start my summer bronzeination. I use jergens but it....well....stinks. And if i sweat, even hours later, i get WAAAY slimy. Im against tanning beds (read:too cheap to pay for a sunburn) but havent used the fake tans. Please note: my natural skin tone is more orange than pink, so as long as i dont resemble a radioactive carrot, its good. And id like to know what is face and neck friendly, so i dont break out OR look like i went to the beach wearing a ski mask. Thanks!

    Just be happy with your luminescense. I know lots of people who wished they could glow in the dark. I mean I know lately you've been mistaken for casper the friendly ghost, but c'mon, it's not that bad. :-P

    I say don't waste your time or $$.... I live at the beach and suffer from Casper Syndrome... those good 'ol Irish genes ;). I haven't seen any of the "fake tans" that look natural.

    im german/irish, but ended up with enough native american to get ultra dark. Sadly, im one of the blondes that ends up looking sickly when pale, all washed out and such. And whats great, it doesnt have to look natural (its february, tan is NOT natural this time of year, lmao!)

    .....anybody? Even one brand would be better than going to buy some clueless.

    What if you got a Mystic tan at a salon?
