Sooo.. i'm pale again.

I just got in the tub, soaked and then scrubbed ALL of that Loreal sublime glow off. It was looking pretty good but after i got out of the shower this morning, it was flaking off and i had "lizard skin". It looked awful so i decided i'd rather be pale and even then tan and splotchy. When i got out, i was RED and raw :lol: I feel so weird being pale... i have been tan for over 2 weeks :(

I just dont do sunless tanners very well. I dont like the upkeep. I wish they made a lotion that never came off and stayed even and brown for ever and ever. But that will never happen cuz of our stupid skin and it's natural exfolitiation process :lol:

Just think of the upkeep like going to the tanning salon. 35 minutes out of your day 3x per week, thats how i would look at it :)

indoor tanning to me is just sooooo much easier. jmho

[XbrownXbodieX]

Well, yes, there is that, and its more relaxing than doing yoga positions to get the ST on your back, but it takes about the same amount of time! lol

Yeah, but your real tan doesn't peel off in a week. A real tan, though fading over time, will last much longer.

Besides, it's much more relaxing to tan than to use a ST..JMO

The 35 mins is like my ME time, ya know? I need that!

This sounds weird, but i feel so much cleaner! Like my skin can breathe or something. But im pale as CRAP so it kinda sucks :lol:

the upkeep is so frustrating! i think i'll just have to be pale while i'm pregnant.

Id rather be white as snow than use a self tanner

ST's are amazing but, yes, you are right: they are very high maintenance to upkeep and have them actually look good and natural.

What about a gradual tanner/tinted moisturizer? Might be less stress and DHA buildup but you'd still get some benefit of a subtle golden glow???

I feel your paleness, it has been about 6 weeks since my last tan, sigh.
