Natural glow

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I cannot find the other thread to add to so sorry for making a new one. So anyways, I bought that lotion thats supposed to give you a "natrual glow" as it adds "a hint of self tanner" or something. It doesn't matter which brand as every one seemed to make their own version. I bought it in an attempt not to blind people at the gym. I never wear shorts so my legs resemble what somebodies head might look like after they've gone their entire life without hair then decided to shave it off. I practically glow in the dark.

Now I don't actually want alot of color, just a hint. But I only want it on my legs, so how well does the stuff actually work? Does it work too well, where I'll look like a goon naked with a line of where the stuff ends? Or does it work just well enough not to do that. I was planning on useing it like every other day. As I mositureze every day anyways, and using just my regular moisturizer in between. Opinions?

    heyo

    It works pretty good. Use it every other day at first and stop when you get the right sort of colour you like. Tip: you should still exfoliate as you would with a fake tan because after a couple of days it gets kinda patchy!

    Eh I dont like the sound of that. I guess I was hoping it would be more lotion with magic as opposed to self tanner :p

    I'm very pale so these things are just like fake tan on me, I like it though especially for the summer. I still exfoilate and moisturise and wash my hands acrefully after. Dunno if you have 'dove' stuff over there but thats the best I think because its just a slight tint.

    One more question before I dive in and actually open the bottle :p If I use it all over, will it get blotchy and funny on my arms where the hair is?

    well i used one of those and just randomly slapped it on thinking it would give me a little bit of a glow but it went all patchy... so if i were id treat it as if it was a fake tan- exfoliate and moisturise.
    i dont think the hair on your arms will affect it, but make sure you try and apply it evenly and dont use too much!
