But you're right shaving can be a problem. I started using a shade darker of the tanner and only applying it every other day plus cutting shaving down to once or twice a week, which seemed to work pretty well.Let me know if you find any other products that work well, I'm trying to work on my tan too!<br /><br />-Delilahdating divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634826148056884866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-63497013424945937552010-04-14T16:49:21.746-04:002010-04-14T16:49:21.746-04:00Maybe it has something to do with how you apply it...Maybe it has something to do with how you apply it? I do it right when I get out of the shower so my skin is nice n' thirsty, and I use a generous amount of the lotion. (I only do my legs) After it's all rubbed in, I take my damp towel and wipe most of the lotion off my knees and ankles since it tends to collect there. I start seeing a difference in about a week. <br /><br />As for the shaving, I apply it right afterwards so If I do shave a little of it off (eew!) I make up for it with a good lathering on my freshly smooth legs.<br /><br />I also give it plenty of time to dry before putting pants on. Putting it on at night works better too.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753876570436758102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-12467409512428289712010-04-14T16:33:08.465-04:002010-04-14T16:33:08.465-04:00I don't think we had found each other when you...I don't think we had found each other when you asked about self tanners. I also use Jergen's Natural Glow, BUT when I want an instant tan for "that night" for example, I use Lancome Flash Bronzer. Have you tried it? It is immediate AND it lasts, at least I think it does. It's actually a dark mousse, so you can see where you apply it:<br /><br />http://www.lancome.co.uk/_en/_gb/catalog/product1.aspx?prdcode=07513v&CategoryCode=AXEBodySuncare%5EF1_Suncare%5EF2_Sun_SelfTan%5EF3_Sun_Sel_Body&<br /><br />Clinique also has one, but it's just for the face. I use that as well in the summer.<br /><br />I'm a smooth leg girl. I shave every day in the summer. It does lessen your tan, but it feels so lovely :)DSShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724512479195083594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-27800674607845408522010-04-14T16:24:53.413-04:002010-04-14T16:24:53.413-04:00If you're shaving every day, maybe you could s...If you're shaving every day, maybe you could switch to every other day? That would probably help a little.<br />I am a pasty ghost, too.

Then you can apply all the lotion you want & it will stick! Even if you don't stay tan... You NEVER have to shave AGAIN! :)<br /><br />Also, I've been told that spray tans are getting much better. But the downside is they only last about a week. <br /><br />KristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-1843199275754300172010-04-14T13:55:03.687-04:002010-04-14T13:55:03.687-04:00shave...then apply the lotion. why is this even a ...shave...then apply the lotion. why is this even a thought in your mind that it would be okay to NOT shave in the summer....really?!

However, if you think you will feel more comfortable with a bit of a healthy glow, try a Mystic Tan. I have gotten two (each for weddings), and they worked quite well and stayed for a couple of days - just make sure you don't get a too dark shade.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09167184675998791811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-42242837232524268482010-04-14T12:42:10.582-04:002010-04-14T12:42:10.582-04:00My advice is to shave, towel dry your legs, then a...My advice is to shave, towel dry your legs, then apply it to your legs. Let air dry for at least 5 min. before you put on your clothes. I'm not using Nivea and it is a little more expensive, but I think it smells better. <br /><br />I also got a part time job teaching homebound for the city!
