NBR: Sunless tanner

bigbootyjudi · May 2013

I've been on the hunt for sunless tanner for what seems like ever. I don't naturally tan...I burn. I mean, BURN. I can get a little tan if I go to a booth but after a friend of ours got skin cancer, that idea jumped itself right out of the window.

I've tried it all and I'm either orange or full of streaks.

UNTIL, I bought this Banana Boat one: https://www.amazon.com/Banana-Boat-Summer-Self-Tanning-6-Ounce/dp/B001ET6YL0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368709715&sr=8-2&keywords=banana+boat+sunless+tanner

I bought mine at ULTA for $7. Christ. My skin looks a-m-azing. I put some Aveeno on beforehand, then the BB, then let it dry. My skin looks TAN, not orange and there is not one streak to be found. I'll take a picture later while we're out.

Like I said, I've been searching forever, so I thought I'd share the wealth with all of my pasty friends.

Hemp brand has a gradual sunless tanning lotion that I love. It doesn't get streaky and I like the way it smells. It smells beachy instead of chemically. Problem is I've only been able to find it on occasion at Sally Beauty Supply stores.

I too am opposed to tanning beds, for multiple reasons and haven't been able to find a self tanner that doesn't streak. I keep my eyes open for this one and give it a whirl(when I don't have anything important going on) incase I streak

I go outside, because I'm old school. I like to think of myself as "European" when I'm basking like a lizard, but really I'm probably just another straight up idiot on the road to melanoma.

Thanks for giving me an idea for a UO. Lol

I love the banana boat sunless tanner also. I don't tan in the sun or in a tanning booth I just get red and then go back to pale. Thanks for reminding me I gotta go pick some up.
