It was a while ago that I tried it, so perhaps they heard me yelling and swearing about the stickyness and decided to take action.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous #2--<BR/>Not quite sure about your conundrum. You could try to embrace Eli and Anonymous #3's outlook (Team Pale! Wooo!), or, if you're not into that, give the Body Shop lotion that Fiona mentions a try. Whatever path you choose, godspeed in your endeavor!<BR/><BR/>Salsa Girl--<BR/>Hahaha good god yes I've noticed the fried chicken smell with multiple brands. It's not fun to smell like KFC. Although I might prefer it over the chemical smell of some brands...Yeah, the smell just sucks. A few people have made comments about nicer smelling ones, and I've heard great things about Michael Kors's bronzer that smells like his much more expensive perfume.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous #3--<BR/>I completely understand and respect your anti-tanning position. I look at self-tanning as I do most other beauty rituals (make-up, hair coloring, eyebrow shaping, shaving, etc)--if you want to do it, great, but examine your reasons for doing it and be aware of the powers in society that encourage you to do it. I like my legs to be a little extra bronzed in the summertime, and I don't want to risk skin cancer to do it, so I'm a fan of the fake tan (also a fan of rhyming).daddylikeybloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333537839820475066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-39183554411233379912007-08-03T14:46:00.000-07:002007-08-03T14:46:00.000-07:00From one Anonymous to another, IT'S OK TO JUST BE ...From one Anonymous to another, IT'S OK TO JUST BE THE COLOR WE WERE MADE! No longer do I feel compelled to paint myself an unnatural, usually orange or dirty-looking, color, nor to attempt to fry myself in a cancer bed. Someday, maybe the aesthetic will change and our culture at large will understand that it's every bit as rude to sneer at pale skin, OR attempt to "correct" it, as to make an inappropriate remark about the skin color of a person of African descent. Or the size of a giant, fat person. I don't know a dermatologist that would agree that Brown is Beautiful. Even fake brown. Our idea of beauty has GOT to be more inclusive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-22882508019002178282007-08-03T00:01:00.000-07:002007-08-03T00:01:00.000-07:00I'm curious, am I the only person that is bothered...I'm curious, am I the only person that is bothered by the way my skin smells after using fake tanner? The only reason I stopped using it was because of this. It reminds me of the way fried chicken smells, and that is not good.Salsa Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12929423586140122120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-17115429765416410602007-08-02T21:48:00.000-07:002007-08-02T21:48:00.000-07:00no tanning ever!i like being paleno tanning ever!<BR/>i like being paleElihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626323070081159883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-58202072145093276762007-08-02T21:02:00.000-07:002007-08-02T21:02:00.000-07:00Wi hon, You know I am not into the whole tanning ...Wi hon, You know I am not into the whole tanning scene, but I learned a lot.

I am so addicted to You Snap the Whip (a black block with a blackcurrant scent and charcoal inside) that I use it even now my shower is broken and I have to endure my housemate's pained expression at the black ring round the edge of the bath.<BR/>They smell fantastic, they moisturise (saving me time spent on vital sleeping in before work), and they're the only thing I've found that gets rid of keratosis pilasis, those little red bumps on the tops of arms and sometimes legs.<BR/><BR/>UK people, especially those like me who are horrendously pale, I recommend The Body Shop's fake tanning lotion, which smells divine, works gorgeously and mixes well with a moisturiser if you need to thin it down.<BR/>Even though Body Shop, like their evil owners L'Oreal, test on animals. I still love the fake tan, but my place in hell was booked a long time ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-90558851064895076962007-08-02T12:48:00.000-07:002007-08-02T12:48:00.000-07:00Dear Winona,What can I do if I am so pale that no ...Dear Winona,<BR/><BR/>What can I do if I am so pale that no self tanner works? I've used many, MANY different kinds, brands and strengths, with no difference whatseoever. It's almost like my legs are so pale, there's no pigment for the product to stick to. I'll get a little bit of orangy color near my ankles or by my knee, but that's it- my skin never actually picks up any of the color or looks tan. Do you have any advice? Do your readers have any advice?

They definitely changed the formula since last year (and I like the new formula way more).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-82222494274272125312007-08-01T20:44:00.000-07:002007-08-01T20:44:00.000-07:00hmmm, i use the sublime bronze gel and love it, it...hmmm, i use the sublime bronze gel and love it, it doesn't feel sticky on me, or maybe just living in the dry desert of AZ takes the stick factor away? anyway, great post!Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194219367929783005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-40823117912738106182007-08-01T20:09:00.000-07:002007-08-01T20:09:00.000-07:00I too love the Sublime self tanner.
