Rep Power: 0 | blotchy tan legs?? plz help Hi, this is my first post, but I came here cause I have a little bit of a tanning dilemma. I just started tanning this spring at the beginning of May and I have noticed recently that I have a blotchy tan in most areas. It is mainly on my stomach and mostly noticeable on my legs. I have been tanning every spring and summer for five years now, this is the first time I can recall this happening. Even though I have received plenty of compliments and my boyfriend swears its only noticeable if you look closely. But it bothers me and I would really like to fix it. I don't think its any serious skin condition cause I have looked up information. I usually exfoliate with a body scrub and gloves once a week, and I always moisturize after showers once or twice a day. I have been using a bronzer lotion "Hot Pursuit". Can anyone suggest anything? Or know the cause & how to develop an even tan?? thanks for reading. |

You do not need a bronzer to develop a good tan. I would even try just acellerators/maximizers w/o bronzers for about a week and see if that helps. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: blotchy tan legs?? plz help Thanks for your response, yes I think so to. I did one tanning session with a tingle non bronzer lotion it has all ready started to clear up a little. Go figure I exfoliated to not have dry skin and have a beautiful even tan and I still end up with imperfections. lol For now on I'll stick to non bronzers. |
