To all my fellow pasty people out there, this is for you! I have mostly come to terms with the fact that I am a whity and that I need to own everything under the sun that has SPF in it, my moisturizer is spf 30, i have a tinted moisturizer that is spf 50 from physicians formula (i dont like it, its very oily), and my everyday moisturizer has spf 15. I run from the sun because I know that shit causes wrinkles and sun spots really early ...not to mention skin cancer, so i am a big believer in bronzer and now, sunless tanners. I tried a Neutrogena sunless tanner before which was ok, it was a cream so it was easy to apply, but somehow i felt orangy. I then decided to try one from bath and bodyworks's true blue spa line, this one is much much better! It is a bronzer combined with a self tanner, it smells a lot better, and the color is more "natural" looking, i also feel that it is easier to apply because it is a tinted cream/gel and you can see where you are putting it. I never noticed in the lighting inside, but when i went outside and the sun shone on my skin, i could definitely see the sparkle of the bronzer part of it. The instructions say to apply it after you have exfoliated and are fully dry, and that it takes about 4 hours for the tan to fully develop. I apply a lotion to my knees and elbows so that those areas don't get that much color, and I make sure that I wear gloves when I apply because even if i wash my hands every 5 mins the palms still get a lot of color (which you dont want). If you want to put it on your face because that is really white too, then mix it with a little of your moisturizer that way you get subtle color and don't look like an extra from the jersey shore...I have not encountered any allergic reactions to this tanner but just to be safe (especially for face) try it in a small area first. Enjoy your new sunless tan my fellow whiteys!!!!
