Tan Lines

[Deanna]

Any solutions for white feet? I like to wear strappy sandals in the summer and having my tan stop at the sock line looks pretty funny. The sunless tanning lotions I've checked out specifically tell you not to do your ankles (I tried anyway and it was a bad idea). Has anybody found a tanner that works well on the feet?

Thanks Deanna

Cure for the white feet:

When you stop for lunch, take of shoes & sox, sit in sun.

When you finish ride, take off shoes & sox, sit in sun to chat up friends or watch everybody come in. Bring flip-flops as after ride shoes.

My feet generally pick up more color doing this than the rest of my bike garment covered parts.

What is the problem with ankles?

What is the problem with ankles?

The lotion gathers anywhere the skin flexes often (ankles, knees, elbows) and creates streaks in the creases. A marbled effect, if you will.

with all the recognized dangers, I still don't get why anyone would use tanning beds. UV is UV no matter how you slice it...

Ladies,
Jergens has a new product on the Market. It's called Healthy Glo I think. It is sunless tanner that builds up over a week of use. It doesn't require exfoliating and only has a 1 to 2 minute wait before dressing. I just trying it out know and I'll let you know the results. Seems pretty easy. Just use it in place of your moisturizer on the affedted areas.
