    dont do that! if you're as pale as you say you are you will not tan right away. you'll see a hint of color by the second wk only. dont fuck up your skin by overdoing it before new years, go the self tanner route. start applying it now and you'll be fine.

    Victoria's secret bare bronze. I have the foam & it's awesome. My friend used the cream & she got great results as well. Just make sure to put a little moisturizer on your knees & elbows so they dont get darker than everything else. It's so worth the price & way less expensive than the tanning bed. Also you're saving your skin the damage.

    BTW this worked very well. The first time I did it...I did get a few streaks on my legs-when I applied it again the next day-I fixed my mistakes and I was really really tan looking. My neck face and stomach came perfect. I would reccommend this but bc i have dry skin-it's coming off in clumps around my body. I have to really exfoliate to get this stuff off.

    You def get a very natural looking tan. I went from fair to dark tan in less than 24 hours. llol

    High pressure beds (with the "purple" lights) don't work on pale skin whatsoever because they are 100% UVA lights. UVA light only oxidizes (darkens) the melanin already produced in the layers of your skin therefor if your skin is pale, it will have nothing to oxidize. The machines you should be using are the "white light" beds or stand ups because those have UVB light. UVB lights stimulate your melanin and can turn you a little pink, but that is a good thing as long as your not burning. After you've built a base tan with the UVB beds, you can use a high pressure here and there just to "brown out" your color.

    I thought you said you did a high pressure and you're still white as looseleaf lol

    I mean you will def see some color if you keep going, but it won't last as long as when using a machine with some UVB.. just sharing my tanning knowledge with ya lol

    but yes I agree with not tanning anymore, I used to tan almost everyday of the week and don't get me wrong, my tan was MINT but ever since Ive stopped and starting taking extra good care of my skin and just spray tanning here and there, I havent been happier with the condition of my skin.

    ya at the time I did a high pressure bed one time and I didnt get much color. when i used to do high pressure beds only (a few years ago) I got a really nice tan.

    Im never going tanning again so it doesnt matter.


    When I need to be brown...this self tanner will tint my skin LOL
