Tanning Question

kgrunow

So I burn quickly and I work outside so every summer I have a bad tan line. I was wondering if anyone used a home cream and had any advice or recomendations about which to use or how to use it. 

Thanks

I've used Jergen's tanning lotion. I liked the way it worked and it smelled nice. The only word of caution is that if you miss a spot, it will show up.

I like the daily lotions that gradually add color.  Takes me about 5 days to see results.  If I miss a spot one day, it doesn't really show.  I also like being able to stop before I turn orange.

I used to use the Jergen's kind as well, because I  burn waaay easy as well! I like it and it is actually okay with super sensitive skin!

Thanks for the tips. Do you have any advice on a daily lotion that adds color?

Have you considered going to a tanning bed? It may help even out your tan a little bit

I considered a tanning bed, but with my skin I think I burn too easily. Without sunscreen I can burn to peal in about 10 min.

For you, I would really recommend the gradual tanning lotions. I liked Jergen's but I also hear that Neutrogena is great too. Exfoliate in the shower. Apply a thin layer evenly ( you can always use more the next time once you see how your skin reacts but you can't take it off). Wash your hands immediately after applying.

I saw results within 2 days of my first application.

I am the same way and burn super fast. I use to go tanning for 3 min every other day but I didn't see any results. I am totally going to look into the lotions now. I have always heard that they can turn your hands really tan from putting it on...what do you recommend for that?
