Legs too white? Are you embarrassed to wear

shorts or a sundress? I always was. Didn’t have time to lay around in the sun, not to mention that your legs take FOREVER to tan. Too expensive and scary to lay in those tanning booths and not to mention yet again the time thing.

I found this amazing lotion and love it love it love it. Did I mention I love it?
Coppertone Endless Summer tanning lotion.
Plusses:
Works within hours of application.
Makes my legs feel real creamy and silky.
Takes away that dry, scaley looking skin.
Very inexpensive. Range from $6 to $10 and this lasts me quite some time. For sure a month.
Tan color not orangey like some.
Go as dark as you want.
Lasts for days and days.
No streaks if you do it right. Coverage is important, I rub it in a lot before I stop and let it work.

Minuses:
Just have to be careful not to get the knee caps and ankle areas too loaded up as they tend to darken more.
I don’t care for the scent.

I have not used it on my face as of yet…. Too afraid to. I have a suntan type of powder I use everyday in my makeup routine anyway.
Anyone else use this? If not, I highly recommend it.

well, i've never used anything such as that. I have a natural tan look to my skin, but my legs never get any sun cuz I don't like 'em. But I think I might try this on my legs. lol

I know what you mean, I have very fair skin. Over the years my arms and face have started picking up some color but since all summer I'm in jeans my legs will blind you.

Does is come off in the shower? I tried some once that I liked but it came off in shower/pool so I had to reapply all the time.

Cool!! Thanks for the tip! I am one of those ones that never wear shorts, a: because they are always white, and b: because I hate shaving every day lol!! I remember once many years ago I used a self tanning lotion and scratched my legs a few days after, I was left with white marks everywhere I scratched lol!! I looked like a tanned zebra lol!!

I live in jeans so the legs are not pretty. Think I'll try this stuff, but then I'll have to shave my legs to wear shorts. Darn it!

Being a red-head, I have very white skin. And I don't think my legs have seen the sun for the last two years that I was pregnant with my little ones.

I've tried other products of this type, but my feet and knees always ended up looking orange. Maybe I didn't do it right. I'd give that stuff a try again, though.
