Okay. So I am one of those people who does not tan. I am a redhead with very pale skin (not the super-freckled kind of redhead complexion, more the milky with a few freckles). Anyhow, a tan is not possible for me by normal means, so I have used sunless tanners in the past just to try them out.
They turned me orange. So I tried again yesterday (hadn't tried it in about 5 years) and I am tan! Not orange, but a nutty light tan. It looks awesome!
I used Ban de Soleil Radiance Eternelle in the medium/dark formula. It comes in one of those two-chambered containters just like the coppertone endless summer. It worked so well! I picked that one because a pale person who I was teaching with a few weeks ago looked awesome and told me it was from a bottle. She told me what kind she used and I bought it, afraid to use it until school was out so that the kids wouldn't give me crap if I looked like an oompa-loompa.
Anyway, if you are pale and don't want to damage your skin, I recommend it. it even makes me look thinner!
Woo hoo!
