Anyone try the Nivea Body Sin Kissed Firming Moisturiser? You know the lotion that is supposed to darken your shade of skin in 5 days?

My friends who used it told me that it's crap.2 tell the truth I don't need it bcuz I already have dark skin.And in the summer gets even better!

I've never tried them but I also here they are no good, what about those tanning beds?

Well, I am already naturally tanned since I am Latin. My skin shade is like that of Salma Hayek/Eva Longoria, but I am uneven in some parts.

I am outside all the time. I don't need a self tanner. I just get all crispy !

It gets humid and hot here in Texas. It's just weird.

I just tried Rite Aid progressive tan lotion, and it was very subtle, which was good.

Maybe not quite as subtle as your tan lotion, but I think it got the message across.

I'm a red head. I'm supposed to be pale. I look silly tan.

I don't tan even if I wanted to anyway. I just get red.

I don't tan. Unfortunately I burn. One of the unlucky few that have to be careful.

Hmm, I tried some Banana Boat self tanning cream that seemed to work pretty well. The only thing is to be sure to wash your hands right after using it, otherwise your hands turn orange.

I tan easily but I still like to add a little self tanner on my face since it seems to fade so quickly.

I use this and it works better than all the expensive ones I've tried, not orange and not streaky at all.

Ive' tried banana boat tanning lotion and that stuff works.

Paradisekiss03 said:

It is pretty good.

I like being evenly tanned.

Paradisekiss03 said:

Me too, I hate being unevenly tanned.

I did buy that Johnson's Tanning Moisturising lotion last year but I never got round to using it - it takes me long enough to get ready as it is - plus, some nicked it from my bathroom. £7 down the drain.

I will, will, will get a tan this year. Apart from catching the sun lightly, then fading immediately, I have never had one. I am just naturally pale.

Once. I was working nightshift during a hot spell, and everyone but me had a tan. So I tried some Piz Buin.



never again

oh yes the usual response was a double take, then "jesus!"

LittleSmedley said:

Combined with the long hair, beard and robes you were sporting at the time, are you sure they didn't think you *were* Jesus??

Imago said:

I seriously wonder ... why someone, anyone

would do this to their face ( or body )

do they seriously think they look better ?

Yeah I do.. I would rather use a self tanning cream than sunbeds..

Unfortunately sometimes I have to use sun beds.. but not to get a tan..

The sun works best on my skin, I can tan just in the warm air
Now if I am going somewhere special, a party or something I may induldge in some fake tan.. but I dont go mad with it.. there is nothing worse than using a cream that doesnt suit your skin tone.. that and when people dont apply it properly and they got loads of streaks..

remember - exfoliate, moisturise and rub in evenly! Its that simple..
