Self Tanners

[Queen of Poop]

Oh haha funny story about that - for my sister's wedding she and I decided to get the spray tan to get a little color. Mine almost completely washed off by the day of the wedding (I had gotten it done the day before) but her's looked pretty good. you can still see it too.....all over the inside of her wedding dress

That is the problem I've found with the self tanners, they tend to rub off on things you don't want them to rub off on. Some of them come with colored lotion now so you can see where you're putting them, which might work better for not getting streaks.

Nothing wrong with wanting a little color this time of year. I use L'Oreal Sublime Bronze cream (in the tube). They have two different shades and many different formulas - gel, cream and towlettes, but I find the cream to be the easiest to apply and the most economical. It's tinted so you can actually see what you're doing and it goes on smoothly. The "tan" develops slowly into a beautiful golden color that lasts longer than the others I've tried.

For something more subtle, go with L'Oreal's new Sublime Glow, which is a much more subtle "tan" that develops slowly. Jergens, Valesline Intensive Care and some drugstore brands also have come out with these "glow" products. Their "tan" is much more subtle than the stuff that's labeled "self tanner." HTH

What I've personally found to be the best is Bain de Soleil Streakguarde Foam. It's natural looking and fast drying and usually doesn't rub off on all my clothes or turn me orange!

I'm using lancome's Flash Bronzer. AWESOME stuff in my opinion. No streaks, no orange, no rub-off, quick dry time, smells good, and shimmers! I've found that you have to apply it about 2x a wk, though as it fades kinda quick.
