Non DHA Self Tan fake tanner pale skin fair light natural looking???
I know this question is odd but the headline was just to attract all searchers. I need to know the best Fake Tan for very pale skin. Jergens is ok, but, dont say Neutrogena because it is really orange. I need this stuff to look real on the beach. Outside on the beach is the number one area for a fake tan to look fake. Are TAN TOWELS good?? I also heard that Arbonne makes a NON DHA Self Tanner. How does that work??
It is far more uncomfortable for you than the Salon staff. They have seen hundreds (if not thousands) of people in the britches (or nothing at all…) They think nothing of it… kinda like your doctor…
I would stay away from Self Tanners in drug stores. Esh… those things are just icky… Most leave you orange, or very dark (if you have pale skin). And if you don’t get it exactly even you end up looking super funky. I have used Arbonnes non DHA tanner. I am not sure how it worked (it was alright. Not the best. I couldn’t get it even, then I ended up burning while at the beach… lol…) DHA is what changes your skin colors… Tan towels are not so popular or heard of because they are not so great… lol…so…I say just go in and get an air brush tan…
Find a salon that does NOT have the Spray On Tan by machine (like the Mystic Tan). I work at a Tanning salon and we get people that come in to us on a daily basis to fix there spray on tan from the automatic machine. The machines can’t tell if you are getting blotchy or orange. They can’t make sure it is even or too thin. Air Brush Spray Tans are amazing!
The only air brush Spray Tan solution we have found to work the absolute best is by ‘California Tan’. So if you call around ask what brand they use. ‘Breeze’ is a good solution as well.
At the salon I work at, our spray on tan is $39. Just a one time spray last 2 weeks. No one looks orange or funky. You look like you have a sun kissed bronzed tan. Even if you are pale as a marshmallow. It gradually fades away, and you look the same as before. Not spots or funky tan lines. You want to find a salon that takes the time to ask you what you want and are looking for. They should be professional and not seem ‘rushed’.
It is worth the money if it is done right. It is not something you want to do a whole lot. If you are looking for a year round tan, try the Tanning Beds(which only go through the first 3 layers of your skin rather than all 7 with the suns rays).
Before you go in and have it done you will want to shave and exfolite (the night before). Put lotion on the night before (no deoderant). The day of you will NOT want to use any lotion, body sprays or deoderant (they can react with the chemicles in the spray solution and turn you green). The salon staff should give you a special lotion (or barrell cream) to put on your feet and hands to keep them from getting darker than the rest of your body. It won’t turn your hair colores (if you dye it) so don’t worry. You will want to wear dark loose fitting clothing. You wont be able to shower for 8 hours.
Have fun!
