I am pretty fair skinned, although I have been burned pretty decently a couple times in my life which has maybe caused cancer cells as well as allowing me to show signs of coloring now and again when I am in the sun. (Not sure that it’s a good thing I can get somewhat tan because I have been burned, but it’s true.) When we were in the Bahamas and Florida this past month I definitely was able to get some good coloring as it would be challenging not to.
Before we left, I had seen something on sunless tanners and celebrities. It was pretty incredible how most celebrities use sunless tanners. Now I am not positive on the brands they use but I know having gone to tanning salons previously for tanning beds and sunless tanners, that they leave streaks and you look orange. I had tried many techniques to avoid streaks and it didn’t matter how the “bed” sprayed the tanner on me, I always streaked and looked orange.
I have tried almost every brand at the department store; creams, spays, oils, you name it, I’ve tried it. Some of them work decently but I give up using them as I lose interest quickly as it takes a lot of time to avoid streaks. I was at TJ Maxx on an outing one day and ran across a cloth sunless tanner. It intrigued me and I figured for $3.99 it was worth a shot. Before we left for our trip I started applying it to see how it worked and hope for a little color before baring my fair-skinned-body in a swimsuit. I was impressed beyond belief that for $3.99 I found a cloth that did not leave my body smelling that funky smell, no streaks found, and a decent light brown color that didn’t turn my skin orange. Literally I was beyond impressed and of course went back to TJ Maxx a couple months later to find this product and had no success. I went onto Amazon and found them, but the cheapest I found was $7.41 + $1.19 for shipping. This is still cheaper than department stores, but also to my opinion, better quality and results.
If you want to try them out I highly recommend this product: Glow Head to Toe
Remember that when you go to purchase them they are a towelette not an oil or cream.
