Doesn't matter whether I have lotion on or not they still stay white.

I used to have the same problem. its so annoying. But I found out that when you shave your legs, it leaves your skin dry. So plenty of moisturising cream before you sunbath and then use lots of oil, like tanning oil spray. trick is to keep applying legs with oil. And i promise your legs will go brown, But pls dont burn:
good luck x

Same problem here. The only thing I found that helps is getting a tan accelerator at the tanning-bed place. That seems to help get the legs going. Once they get some color, they'll tan "right" for the rest of the summer.
Good luck!

I do . Try going fishing. for some reason having your feet in water seems to provide just enough reflexction off the water to get a bit of a tan on your lower legs. but be careful not to burn your knees or even worse behind your knees!! ouch!

Put tanning oil on just that area, and try not to bend your knees so the sun gets to the bottom part. If you tan while sitting the sun is hitting just the top part.

I have the same problem. I believe it has to do with shaving. I think the razor takes a thin layer of skin, exfoliating it, and taking the tan with it.

Its cuz your skinny... If you dont have a lot of fat on your calfs, they dont tan well... Mine do the exact same thing... I asked about it at the tanning place and they told me Skinny girls dont tan well below the knee or on their feet. You tan best in places that have more fat.

I have the same exact problem as you. I play softball so my socks are covering my shins. So when I tan I try to tan as much as possible on my shins, and they still don't tan!
