do you try to tan your feet? or does your tan stop at your ankles? What about your hands?

I always apply lotion to the tops and sides of my feet... I hate when they look lighter than my legs. (freak I know)

I always tan my feet, except when I am laying on my back, I put a towel to protect my heels from burning (they are so sensitive)...

I tan my feet, I think they look awesome with a pretty polish to set the color off. I wear a toe ring too, have for about 8 years now.

I went to Venice Beach,CA the summer of '92 & they had people out there at the shops who would cram a solid toe ring on your toe if you purchased one.My friend & I went around watching people have it done to find one that didn't seem to inflict as much pain while they did it. I bought a very thin 14k gold one that has never been taken off.
I don't know if I could even get it off.I love it.A permanent toe ring.I haven't met anyone else w/one in this part of the country.I wonder if they still do that out there.

Mine is permanent as well, like I said 8 yrs now....I did have to take it off when preg. with 4 yr old took about an hour and a bottle of lotion.
I put it right back on when she was about a week old

Oh,seems like I heard somewhere that feet don't tan as well due to not having much melanin(sp?).Can we have some "Dark,Sexy Feet" please?Lol!

I have a permanent toe ring too. I got mine in Maui a long time ago. But I am a dancer and at one point the ring was cutting my toe and Windex and a little pulling gets it right off! My ring is now happily back on my toe and I love it!

I always try to tan the tops of my feet. Whenever I'm not at work I'm ALWAYS in sandals so I'm pretty much obsessive about it!

I cannot cannot cannot get my feet to tan. I have even lifted them up to the bulbs while I am tanning. All it has done is tightened stomach and butt up a little LOL. Even lotions with DHA don't help. I have tried just tingle on my feet too. Anyone have any suggestions?

have u flipped over? maybe in an upgrade bed or some bed that the canopy isn't so close u can try bending your knees so that your feet are really close to your butt... since the bed is warmer in the middle, maybe that will make a difference. do you moisturize your feet really well? i know i keep my feet as moisturized as the rest of me

Swedish Beauty's Bronze Faces will work anywhere.

I dont have problems tanning my feet but I do make sure I load my feet with lotion. For those who do have problems getting their feet tanned ( same with the legs) the owner of the salon I go to tells clients who have leg/feet "issues" to lay with their legs down where the facials are and also suggests for those who can stand it, a tingle lotion.

I get great color on my feet. They look great with my bubblegum sparkly pink nail polish. I would love to have a permanent toe ring! Too cool! I didn't realize they even made those! I do wear the regular type toe rings and anklets and having nice, pretty tan feet makes them look better!

My feet tan pretty easily, too. And "stop traffic pink" looks great!

I had pale, pale feet a couple weeks ago, but i took everyone's advice on the board and started using a tingle on my feet, and now they are getting brown! I too wear toe rings... one on my right foot and two on my left. The rings are silver which compliment a nice tan, and then i have a turqouise and silver anklet on my right ankle. As for nail polish, i wear "silver metal".... i think it really stands out against the tan, and goes well with the toe rings!

My feet are as dark as my legs from using a tingle lotion on them. Also, I wear bright orange polish on my toes, and it makes my feet look extra dark.

I tan my feet and hands but they dont get as dark as my legs. I think it would look pretty silly if my tan just stoped.

i just bought another toe ring thursday and the next time my aunt has a jewlery show i will be buy another the toe rings i get are made by albert konder they do like a mary kay thing and their reps come to your house with a ton of jewlery. i like their toe rings cus they are durable since i am usually barefoot they take a bit of a beating. sorry to get off topic but i love the toe rings i get from them. but i will be going out tomorrow night so i will be showing off my feet with my sequinned flip flops and toe rings

i have 3 at the moment (i have one put away cus it doesn't fit on my other toes) but i plan on getting a couple smaller ones to fit on other toes. has anyone tried the illusion toe rings?? i bought one but i can't really wear it cus it doesn't fit on any toe besides my big toe (it's too big) i guess that happens when i have skinny toes.

I keep my feet as tan as my bod by always putting suntan oil on them when I am outside.Also,if you flip in the bed they will tan.

Yeah I always put lotion on my feet and try to tan them, I hate it when they are ligter than the rest of me.

My feet are very tan. My feet and legs are my tannest body parts. I have trouble getting a tan on my hands probably because I wash them so much. I've been moisturizing my hands and arms with JA sunless tannner trying to get a little more color.

My feet, which qualify as extremities of my body, take a LONG time to tan, and don't get that dark anyway... same thing for my hands, especially the fingers.

My feet are tanned, they look better with toenail polish and toe ring if they are tanned.

I make sure when I use the stand up to lift my feet up....my feet are tan, like my hands, but not as tan as say my back.
