Tanology & lisa, I have been using myself & recommending to clients for areas that they don't want to get AS sprayed or 'mystic-ky' (my own word i think!) to use as an option to the barrier cream any of the Body Shop Butters . . you only need a little!

ok, ya, I cant sell it myself BUT i have been using it myslef after a LOT of trial & error . . . the area will still 'tan' but lighter depending on how much you use - a THICK layer will block the DHA from hands & feet, a thin one like on my legs, wrists, etc. will make it so when i shave or wax i'm not streaky)-

I experimented with everything from Forever After(streaked the DHA), Matahari's Luminous (3rd runner up from the lot i've tried - works pretty well), DS Angel, Bobbi Brown's Beach lotion (not thick enough to block), Guinot, Bath & bodyworks, Synergy's cutie patootie, Fiji Heiress (too light), Aveeno (close second to the body butter, not bad) and Fiji's Tantric (on par with the butter, sadly a little pricey even at cost!)

on my face, of late I have been using Fiji's Vivid - works nice in a thin layer, as you say Tanology, if I do happen to have a zit it prevents it from 'grabbing' the bronzer & does not make my oily t zone any worse

good luck ladies! excellent tips

***and Tanology - you keep on keeping your small salon FABULOUS! it is not the size that matters, it's the technique! (tried to get you some brownies & i am blocked for the day)
