I am usually self conscious about wearing jeans shorts because of how pale I am, and yes I have some cellulite. Do any of you have recommendations on a self tanner or cream or anything to help give me a little bronzed/tanned look? and maybe help dissipate the appearance of the cellulite? thank you!
Also, I don't know if this is asking too much, but what can you put between your legs so you don't get a rash when they rub together? any cream or anything like that?
thank you!

I have heard that Bio Oil is effective with helping stretch marks disappear and preventing them. I have also heard it does the same with cellulite. I have personally not tried it but the comments I have heard on this oil are from trusted sources. Hope that helps :)

Self tanners hide a multitude of sins. It won't make cellulite go away but it certainly makes it less noticeable IMO. My best friend got cellulite during her pregnancy and self tanning disguises it. I'm a big fan of St Tropez. I like the tinted version so I can see where I'm applying it. I also like TanTowel. Easy to apply and doesn't streak. If I'm working on a deep tan, I apply three days in a row and maintain with L'Oréal Sublime spray or Neutrogena Micro Mist.

Cellulite you reduce by building muscle; it's usually genetic, but you can do things to reduce its appearance, such as building muscle through exercise. Not eliminate, but reduce.
This is why even stars who are svelte struggle with it at every weight. But, building muscle does help reduce it significantly. Don't beat yourself up: even Bodybuilders can have it. I think most people have it at some point in their lives and many just hide it; careers have been made from airbrushing it out...lol
You can also reduce their appearance a BIT temporarily with topical caffeine.
That just temporarily constricts the blood vessels to help a bit. Longer shorts are in style right now, so you can be cool and comfortable while looking stylish if you don't feel comfortable in shorter styles.
For rubbing together in the thighs, Monostat Chaffing Gel is what I'd recommend. Every drugstore and chainstore have it. You should also be sure the area stays dry and clean. Wear breathable fabrics whenever possible.
Jergens Foam in a nice gradually tanner and their lotion is nice for maintenance. I'd begin with one formulated for the skin you have, not what you want. You can use darker 'tones' later if you want, but it keeps things gradual and looking more natural in my pale experience...lol

@Jenni Thank you. I've been wanting to try St. Tropez so maybe I will go for that one.

@Rozberry I work out pretty much every week day and work out lightly on saturdays and my rest day is sunday. I'm pretty sure mine is genetic so I don't think mine will ever fully go away unfortunately.
Maybe I will try that topical caffeine and also so will try that Monostat gel. Also, I might try the Jergens foam for a cheaper self tanner option.
Also, I know where you're coming from because I'm super pale too haha. I don't want anything that looks super fake and orange.
Thank you so much for all the helpful info!

I exercise daily too and still have a bit. All we can do is minimize it. Darn Genetics..haha Coffee scrubs are always at Marshalls for about $5. I like the way they feel and smell as well as how skin looks temporarily, but you have to rinse grains from the tub since they are dry scrubs.
I like the foam for application/darkening and the lotion for maintenance. I wear disposable gloves if I use it, just after exfoliating in the shower...and I apply lotion on my elbows, knees, and ankles and let that soak in a moment before I work in any foam because those tend to grab product, especially when you're very pale. I rarely use anything and mostly rock my pale, but if I do have an event where I want a bit of bronze, I am fond of those.
Glad to be of help. :)

To reduce cellulite drink plenty of alkaline water, eat clean, and message your tarket areas with oils such as coconut oils and olive oils...as far as the bronzed tanned look you can possibly use a body highlighter.
