I used to card everyone. A lot of establishments that sell alcohol have *bizarre* carding regs - anyone under 40, anyone your coked-up manager could possibly think was under 40, etc. And the repercussions (both from the manager and legally - when I was waitressing it was a $5k fine for the server and $10k for the business, plus you couldn't work anywhere that served for 5 years) just makes it not worth it.
Plus, I was a tip whore, and carding a 32 year old woman will certainly get you a better tip.
---
That said, I was less impressed with the Jergens. I tried it right when it came out - I felt like there were so many sparkles I looked like a 13 year old, plus they rubbed off on my clothes.
Anyone know if it's been reformulated, or am I just picky, or what?

I think it must have been reformulated because I haven't noticed I am more sparkly than normal.
It does rub off on your clothes a little - I usually leave it on for 5 or 10 minutes before putting clothes on and that's seemed to stop the problem.

I really haven't noticed any sparkles. Did you use the fair/medium one? That's what I have. They apparently have a new facial one, and it now comes in three shades.

No, I tried it two summers ago when it had just come out and there was just one shade (white, with a gold cap.) Then they came out with the white bottle/silver cap, and now they have the 3 "match your skintones" ones.

I've done Mystic twice. It usually looks a little orange the first day, then fades to a nice tan.

I'm thinking of trying Mystic Tan. I'm going to Orlando in a few weeks and I don't want to shock my friends with how ghostly pale I am. I always had a tan when I was in Florida!
How long does it usually last? I have a light olive skin tone but I'm still afraid of looking orange. It's too cold to get a natural tan and I'm not about to up the cancer score with tanning bed use.

Maybe you had the Sheer Shimmer lotion? It's VERY sparkly, and it has a gold cap and white bottle.

That's definitely a different Jergens. The other one is a tan squeeze bottle. The white bottle with the gold cap is definitely very shimmery, but the brown bottle isn't shimmery at all. I love it.
ETA: Here's the link to the layering lotion

Has anyone tried the new face stuff from Jergens? The other stuff made my face break out so I'm hoping this will be better.
And to the OP, whoever you were - I've airbrush tanned a few times, it usually lasts about eight or nine days for me. I think that might be slighly different than Mystic Tan though.

for those of you that use the Jergens lotion- how do you do your back? The self tanners i've used have all been sprays, so that helps, but I don't know how you'd be able to get your back evenly

Two words: Significant Other.
Seriously, I make my husband do it. The first time I forgot to remind him to wash his hands, and so his palms had an orange tinge - although you could barely tell through his olive complection.
