I am uber white and uber dry (live in the desert).
I like to use fake tanners on my legs to tone down the fish belly white glare just a notch. But I have to exfoliate first or I will get blotchy. And I also shave and what not through out the week. So I feel like I never build up a tan because I am always scrubbing it off....am I doing it wrong?

Have you tried one of the gradual ones in lotion? Those are nice because you add a little color each day & it's moisturizing.

@mrs. bird: I use Jergans but I think that may be the problem- I never get past day 1 because of the shaving and whatnot exfoliating the top layer off.....(?)

@lizzywiz: That's what I was going to say - maybe you need something that isn't so gradual. I like the St. Tropez brand foam and it has a tint to it so you get instant color.
I also like this one by Clarins:

@SweetiePie: The St Tropez foam is amazing!
-
@grizz: Right?!? I love it! I try to ration it because I love it so much
I should probably start using it on my legs since I am beach bound next week!
-
I agree - I think you need something less gradual!
-
I used Fake Bake and I love it!
-
Thanks, ladies! I am going to head to Sephora and pick something out.
-
@SweetiePie: I 2nd the Clarins...love that stuff!
-
@Caly: Yes!!! I use that when I'm worried about the color from the St. Tropez foam running (since it is tinted). And it is SOOO moisturizing! And I guess its less offensive than most when it comes to a smell. Though I still think it eventually smells like self tanner, once the nicer lotion smell has worn off.
-
@SweetiePie: yes! I hate the smell of self tanners....then Clarins is still a bit self tanner-ish but a lot better than the others I've tried!
