Sunless Spray On Tan

Feh. Pale may be the "safest" look but hardly the "best" look. I like a
little tan and look and *feel* better when I play in the sun. Pity for
you that you're so pale to begin with. I'm olive toned Italian and a
little goes a long way. NOT sunworshipping cancer causing brown...
moderation is my motto.

heh, heh! The smartest move a girl can make is to buy a swimsuit that is
most flattering to her figure then buying different patterns of the same
style. I haven't worn a bikini since the 70's. I suppose modesty and an
inopportune photo op has discouraged me from going two-piece in middle age

We had nearly ~zero~ sun exposure on our RCCL Freedom OTS cruise two weeks
ago. Port Canaveral was as cold as a witch's *** and windy, the decks were
cold and windy, if not rain soaked and the port of Coco Cay was rained out.
But, we were on vacation where "home" was so cold you froze your hand to the
screen door letting the dog out to do her business. In other words, we
still had another great time!

St Thomas and St Maarten (Philipsburg) were pleasant but not particularly
warm in February. I became a trivia buff while on the ship. Ask me the
most mundane info you can think of. I probably have a good answer for the
question! My dream would be to cruise so frequently the trivia questions
are all correct on my sheet because we'd sailed so much they didn't have any
new questions g.

I had a funny-looking blemish on my face last month. Since my mother has
had several dermatology visits to remove her Florida suntans' damage for 30
years, I figured I was developing some of those skin "tags", as on my back.
Wrong-o! I need to have it excised, instead. Just call me "the old hag".
I earned it through wisdom. g

I talk with my hands. Some folks have asked me if I have any "Italian" in
me. I look around and answer, "Not at the moment!".

That they often look fake shrug especially when first applied, so
perhaps doing it earlier than you think you want it so as to allow it to
"mellow" and fade a bit?

I have used Jergen's sunless lotion (forget the exact name) on my legs and
have been pleased by the results.... but take care around your knees so
that they don't get too much. And wash your hands good after using it so
that you don't have "fakeNbake palms" LOL

Why would you not use latex gloves to put it on?

Hey, I've got a box of plastic gloves I use for expressing my dog's anal
glands. Would you like me to send you some? g

Carol, the spray tans work fine; it works best if you have 2-3
applications. Some of my coworkers just loved the spray-on tans and
they tried to talk me into buying a franchise. I tried it once and
it worked fine. Give it a try before you cruise and see what you
think, or at least go check it out in person. You will see people
coming and going, so you can see if they look orange. Good luck and
let us know how it turns out.

Becca

I don't think that it will provide any additional protection from the
sun. It just dyes your skin. Becca, since you've had it done, care to
comment on any additional sun protection it may provide?

Doesn't provide any protection (you'd still have to use sun screen)
but also doesn't damage the skin like the sun tanning beds (or actual
sun) does.

In the old days, everyone turned out orange. But they use it on
everyone on Dancing with the Stars, and I don't think they look
orange.

Except for Lady Gaga. She'd probably want the orange skin color.

Only fools have spray on tans. Then again, only fools have real tans! White is the best
look these days (I'm not being racist here). Think skin cancer.

With all these vampire movies and tv shows, I think that with the young
fans that the paler the better.
