Answer 1

I use Yves Rocher spray and find it does not streak.
Copertone Face is also very good

Mary Kay has a great sunless tanning lotion for $10. The quality of the tan is mostly in the application. First, you should exfoliate before you apply the tanner. The dead skin cells will be darker if you don't. Apply the Sunless tanner evenly then wash your hands with soap and water right away when you are done. Wait one hour before taking a shower, baithing, or swimming.
Color will develop fully in approximately six hours. To maintain the tan, reapply every three to five days. To intensify the tan, reapply on several successive days.
You can order the Mary Kay sunless tanner from:

Mary Kay has a good buffing cream too. Also for $10.

First try using rubber gloves ( like the medical kind, you can reuse them by taking them off and then blowing into them to straighten them out again)
Next try coppertone " gradual tan" it comes in an odd shape bottle, they have a couple types get this one.
Next use the same amount. Like one squirt per calf. Rub it in, not just up and down but around too. Take your time. The gloves help keep it from being absorbed by your hands.
Then let it dry. it feels " sticky" or " damp" for a while so if you have to turn your blow dryer on cool ( we have a lot of humidity here)

There is also a daily lotion from Jergens " natural glow" for light skin tones but it doent do much for me.I have used the coppertone i told you abou at te begining of the season on my legs it is not so dark as some of the others.All of them Im told have the same active ingriedient, its finding one that is the right amount for your skin.
Hope this helps.

I don't know why people so crazy about tanning since considering my south-east asian ancestry, I'm naturally tan and not loving it, plus if your skin are oily, you're going to be having a very bad time being a tanned.

Forget all european beaches... go to Bali or even Teluk Cempedak beach where sun shines there every day, beaches were white and sandy, and also the heat and the UV radiation would make you sun-reddened and burned in 30 minutes straight, easily.

Answer 5

By no means rub cooking oil or olive oil on you and lay in the sun then!!! Then will cause you a horrible sunburn and rises chances to get skin cancer.

Try Perfect Complexion Perfect Tan, 1oz. costs 10$ and gives 3 full body applications, each lasting for over a week if you peel your body before application.
It dries fast, doesn't look fake, won't dry out your skin, doesn't rub off, no streaking or spotting.

Answer 6

I am really white too. I used to get all bent out of shape about it just like you. All the fake tanners are going to look fake. Espescially one in your price range. So what your white, big deal. I am too, just cuz your not pretty and tan like the other tan girls doesn't mean you should be ashamed, although youll figure that out when your older.

Answer 7

do you have red hair ?? then u can use oil ( like cooking oil, just lather your self up, and lay in the yard, not to much sun is required, it magnifies the sun light, and then slowly cooks your self, hopefully u turn so u just dont get tanned on one side though, dont do many times, bad for skin ! let me know

Answer 8

thier is a lotion thats great but sorry its 100.00 is called crystal. try this go to walmart and get jergens natural glow use this for a few days and see if you like it it cost about 6 bucks

Answer 9

I have a relly gd solution for you! use a mousturiser that has a hint if self tan in. you use it every day and they gradually builds up a natural looking tan. they dont look orange too.

Answer 10

Massage yourself with olive oil then sit in the sun. Hope it works this way for you.
