Tanning Lotion Troubles

Look at a sheet of paper. Good. Now you understand how bloody pale I am in comparison to the average gal. I'm curious about tanning lotions...but I don't really know anything about them. (Other than putting lotion on your elbows and such & wearing gloves during application.)
Has anyone used one before?
Is there a way to stop it from transferring to clothing...?
Natural looking!! (I'm short and would achieve that oompa loompa vibe all too easily...)

Trust me, I know the feel! I am a pretty pale girl and sunless tanners definitely give a healthy glow, nothing overdone. A lot of brands have different colors of tan, so you can choose the option for light skintones. I personally love the Neutrogena Build-A-Tan! It's inexspensive and doesn't make the tan look anywhere close to fake. I also have never had it transfer to clothes. I usually apply it straight out of the shower and then basically stand there naked till it is fully dry haha. But honestly they are great options and aren't as intimidating as they seem 😊

I'm naturally dark so I haven't used any, but the mystic tan spray tan and false tan lotion are both wonderful. And I've heard a lot about the st tropes line.

Try L'oreal's Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Glove. It is amazing; it lasts seven days (even after showering) with only one appliction. You must read the instructions of the application before using it as each lotion applies differently. It is all natural, AND it looks natural as well! There is shine to it which makes every person that is using it, glow! I use it all the time and it works fantastically!

I am seriously so pale. I don't even think anyone really knows how pale because I'm always self tanning! I have honestly tried so many and because you are so pale it is yes easier to look orange. most drug store brands (all that I know of actually) are orange based browns so to completely avoid that you can get a green based brown witch gives a very nice natural bronze. fake bake, milliom dollar tan and st tropez are my favorites for that. You could also try a gradual tanner so you can control your desired look. I like hemps the best for that although st tropez has one I just haven't tried it yet. as far as a drugstore tanner my favorite is the loreal sublime mousse.

Wow, thanks ladies! At least I've got an idea of the products I should be considering!
