Okay ladies I can FINALLY wear shorts but I need some sunless tanner until I can get into the sun more and get a natural tan. What do you suggest????

    Bare Minerals Faux Tan is really good. It goes on very evenly and dries fast with very little odor. It's a little more expensive than the drugstore varieties but I find I use much less of it.

    I use a Dove moisturiser with self tan in it...has a little glitter in there as well so your legs look really sunkissed! :)

    Jergens Natural Glow always worked for me. Also Bath and Body Works has a product that's really good too. It's in their true blue spa line, but the name has slipped my mind. If I think of it later I'll post!

    Sally Beauty has a couple-Tomas and Tanwise. They both look really natural.
    I like St. Tropez but it is pretty expensive by comparison.

    Just be sure not to put it on right after you shave!

    (That is probably common sense... but I made that mistake once and it was not a good day. Legs were on fire and the tanner went into my pores so I looked spotted. Haha.)

    All sunless tanner makes me look like Snooki so I avoid it all costs. Embrace the paleness!

    I use the garnier one, I found it works a lot faster than the dove and doesn't look orange on me at all.

    I use the Target version of Jergens, works just as well. I am very pale and use the one for medium skin tones since I only apply it on days off.

    Yea yea, I'm not a lady, but I like giving my 2 cents. Let's look at a quote here "I need some sunless tanner until I can get into the sun". I'm going to be a bit harsh here and say, "You live in Nevada, US where the average high temp is 87F this entire week." No. No, you don't need sunless tanner. You need to just get outside. If you're ghost white and you're in the sun, people will look at you less funny than if you're fake bronze and in the sun. Just go outside. Enjoy the rays and save money on a temp fix.

    Guy's perspective.

    I like the bare minerals but lately I tried tanwise from Sally's beauty. It's nice but if you don't shower after about 4 or 5 hours of putting it on, it starts to stinks! It does give a nice natural looking tan which lasts about 5 days.

    I read this too fast and thought if you don't shower for 4-5 days it starts to smell:laugh:

    I have used my fair share of tanners...and my FAV and the one I've used for a year now is Fake Bake Flawless. I get it from Amazon for around 14 bucks. It lasts quite a long time. It has a great color, super easy to apply, DOES NOT STINK (smells like coconut), and isn't sticky feeling after it's supposed to be dry. I love it.

    I'm really fair too. I pick the lightest shade of sunless tanner. I still don't look tan, just a warm ivory color....I like L'Oreal.
