This Is Not Your Mother's Self Tanner... I Hope
Here's the thing. I've got two weddings to go to this year, one in June and one in September. They're both for cousins of mine, but on different sides of the family, so my sister will be the only person at both weddings... which is why I'm planning on wearing the same outfit to both. But what outfit?
My stumbling block: my pasty white legs. This is not just lack-of-sun white, this is scary-white-no-matter-how-much-sun-they're-exposed-to kind of white. And I bruise really easily, so those scary white legs are always covered in bruises. This is why I usually wear knee-high boots when I wear a skirt. But I don't think I want to wear boots in June. But I'm also not a pantyhose kind of grrl. So do I just give up and wear pants?
That's kind of where I'd landed until I found these Self Tan Kits. Now I've tried self tanners before and not had huge amounts of luck, but I like the look of the Salon Bronze Tanning System. I realize there are no guarantees that this will be any better than other products I've tried, even if the application method is different, so I would definitely give it a test run before the wedding just to make sure. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know whether I end up with orange legs!

Ok the 'pasty white legs' made me laugh. I suffer from these too and I also have a wedding at the end of May. I have been looking at various tanning systems so people don't get snow-blind from looking at me. I'll check out this one too!
Well, I hope for both our sakes that it works!
My "favourite" pasty white leg incident: I used to manage a show jumping barn and I was setting up jumps for the rider in the practice ring at a show one day when someone told me that my legs were a brighter white than the stark white jump standards. I don't think I've worn shorts since then! LOL
