*How Do You Get TAN?*

[Sir Isaac Lime]

combo of bed and outside

I've never gone tanning in a tanning bed, etc. My skin is naturally a bit tanned (even when I'm not tanned, I'm not THAT pale) and I tan very easily when outside.

Funny thing is that back in the UK our summers last about 2 weeks on average so when the sun does shine and it's actually warm enough to remove clothes then everyone is tanning themselves. Pale loose skin everywhere, people stripping off in their lunch hours to absorb any sunlight. Nobody bothers with protective cream because there's just not enough time to do it that way, you got strip and burn and do it quick because it's a long wait till next summer and you wanna get a little brown before your 2 weeks in Ibiza.....

Now I live in a city that has the hottest average temperature year round in the world and I hardly ever go in the sun, it's just not done. With skin like mine it's takes weeks of sunbathing with high factor protection to tan and although I'll admit that it makes me look healthy it just not worth the effort. A week after being in the sun it washes off anyway.

I don't mind my tan. I won't lay out in the sun just to get one, and i wont stay in to prevent it

Which Au Courant sunless tanner should I use for my face? I don't want to turn orange. Thanks

Be sure to stay away from anything that has keroten or citrus acid. those get you orange.
Look for DHA- DiHydrozyacetone.
It turns you a golden brown colour.

Also, avoid using franced soaps and lotions before using any sunless stuff.
Hope that helps.

Some of you are going to have terrible skin later on. I want to look like I'm 30 when I'm 45.

Studies showed that only happens when you overexpose yourself and never use lotion.

With mystic tan it works well, except on dry areas, like if you lift and your hands have any dry areas, more tan seeps into your skin and those areas turn darker, most sessions are 10-15$ last a week-10 days

I was born with a tan. Thank God

I jog outside in the evenings before the sunsets for a few miles every day.

I sit outside in the sun for hours and read and relax.
