Tan Lines

[slinkedog]

There are some REALLY good sunless tanners out there, but the ones I know of that are good ain't cheap. Word to the wise... before using that stuff, EXFOLIATE like crazy!! Bliss makes this sugar scrub stuff... you can get it directly from them at www.blissworld.com or they sell their stuff at better Macy's stores (Lazarus) and Nordstrom, I think. It works really well.

Hi everyone! Love this forum!!!
I'm pretty lucky to live here in Puerto Rico and to have a DH who loves to sail. I try to even out my tan every chance I get. Can't avoid bathingsuit tan lines, not into the nuddist thing . I apply extra sunscreen on my darker areas. If I have different spf's I use a lower number on whiter areas.
Works ok. Before you all hate me, there are times I do have to make do with biker tan better than the creams and machines, too much work and $ to do it right.

here's the stuff I do:

when cycling (on a sunny day, particularly on the road), apply high SPF sport suncreen to all of the exposed areas. wear the smallest shirt possible.

whenever possible, since I"m so crunched for time in general, get the bikini on before walking the dogs. of course, only when it's hot and sunny.

if I have more time than a dog walk for sun-bathing (rare, but happens once in awhile), apply a high spf to the bike tanned areas, and use a low spf on the white parts. the lines themselves can be a bit tricky, but I have several different lenght sleeves and a muscle shirt, so that all tends to get kind of transition-y anyway.

and, yeah, the take the shoes off in the sun at every opportunity usually works great. tanned feet tops almost every summer....

I, too, would be amazed to have an extra 15 minutes for sunless cream to set. besides, the dogs would probably lick it right off!! heehee ewwwwwwww
