Note To Self
















Application of self-tanner is really more art than science. These sorts of things should probably either be left to the professionals. Or avoided. Unless you don't mind looking like a zebra.*

*It actually looks much worse than this in natural light. Hard to believe, I know, but in real light the stripes are MUCH more pronounced. I would show you a picture, but since I'm not leaving the house in anything less than full length trousers until this fades, you'll just have to take my word for it.

    I hate self tanner. Im about to go out and get some this week because we are going to the beach the next week. I was planning to use the Jergens moisturizer type. But, maybe I should ask first, what should I not use?

    I knew there was a reason I never used that stuff.

    I like to make it look like perhaps I laid UNDER the lounger and thus explains the tan lines.....

    Haven't tried 'em in about 23 years. I thought surely they improved since then.

    I've never tried self tanner and I don't lie out in the sun anymore. I do miss looking tan and "healthy" and plan to get myself an airbrush tan the next time I have a special event.

    Nice feet and legs.

    It's really hard to get a good application, sigh. I haven't used a tanner in years. I think some brands might be easier to blend than others, but then you still have to deal with how the stuff rubs off and that's gross.

    Yup, tried that once. (ONCE) lol.

    Lot's of soap on a washcloth should tone it down.

    But your toes are pretty!

    I used self tanner way back in high school. I have been much too scared to try it again. I had many a zebra stripe. Or a very muddy looking knee. And ankle.

    I was thinking that maybe the technology had gotten better. Now, I see that it has not :-)

    OMG! It is so true. I've been burned by the self tanner, too. Did you wash your hands after?

    I forgot. One time.
    Ugh.

    Sigh...

    L'OREAL SUBLIME GlOW...gradual self tanner. The lotion kind--that "gradually builds." it's foolproof. Seriously. Been using it for years.

    I'd never steer you wrong, ya know?

    OMG-yeah, I've done the same thing! I gave up on self tanner!

    I love the idea of self tanner--but I have not mastered the art of applying it either!!

  21. MirindaMay 27, 2009 at 10:04 PM

    Yikes! The only way I've mastered self tanning is buying the kind that builds up over a few days or the spray kind (but that makes a mess)

    Let me just thank you for the laugh, though. I've done worse. Trust me. (and some lemon juice, sugar and a loofah can help.)

    I hope that it looks better by now. It doesn't really look too bad in the photo. Seriously.
