self-tanner rave

halleybird · Hermes

thank you. I can't remember- Are you really fair naturally?

bumblebee · Coach

very fair and freckly. i just found out i have basal cell carcinoma, also, so self-tanner is going to become an integral part of my life, i guess.

I'd like to second this rave... funny thing is, I was just about to make the same post. I'm naturally fair, as well, but right now I have a tan... beautiful results both ways. I love the color I get, and I love how easy it is to apply.

i remember drew raving about these. I wonder where she went

atlgirl · Gucci

Bumblebee, so sorry to hear about the skin cancer! My thoughts are with you. And I will def. check out your recommendation, as I am very fair also.

flknight24 · Dooney & Bourke

I know, I miss Drew too.

As for the tanning wipes, do they streak at all?

I am sorry to hear that, bumblebee! Best wishes to you. My dad has gone through it multiple times; it sucks but you will get through it.

Thank you for posting this, though. I tried it yesterday and the color is really natural..and no streaking, although I missed a few spots. I am hoping it doesn't turn yellow on me like a lot of them do!

bumblebee · Coach

thanks, halley. my dad has it, too--i have the genetics for it, so i was prepared that it would probably happen. my days of hanging out in the sun are over, but that's ok. i am finding that you can usually find shady areas no matter where you happen to be at the beach or pool.

so far so good on the color for me--it hasn't turned yellow or anything. i've applied twice, just to keep the color, and it's staying on great! i'm very impressed, actually.

That's what I am afraid of.

I am going in for a full-blown skin check next week. *scared*

aww, don't be scared. it's great that you are getting checked out, and if they catch anything (not that they are going to) if it's early enough it's not really a big deal (like mine). if you have the genetic predisposition and live in a hot, sunny place (like we both do) it's just smart to go in and get yourself checked out, to put your mind at ease.
