Why oh why do I have to be so pale and pasty?

I am soooo pale right now and with my birthday coming up this weekend (on Mother's day) I want to have a nice tan when I go out on Saturday night. I also have a wedding Memorial day weekend and NEED to be less...well, WHITE! LOL
I think I am gonna give in and go tanning today after work. I really hate to though...I feel so guilty going to a tanning salon. I know it is bad but I feel so icky when I am so BLAHHHH and paleChat Icon

You can also use the Dove's Gradual tan lotion

I don't really tan at all. I'm either pale with freckles, pale with TONS of freckles in the summer, or RED! Chat Icon

I don't think I'd be able to do it evenly. I worry that I will look orange too!

I hate self tanners but LOVE Dove's energy glow mosturizer. You have to use it over a few days though to get a nice result.
Go for at least the medium shade.
What's great about it is since it's mixed with moisturizer you dont' get the streakiness or the the visable lines where you stop it.

I really like it- takes the edge off my paleness!

I could never do it evenly but the Dove is so easy to apply and I rarely get mistakes with it.

I know exactly how you feel. I felt like that yesterday, and broke dsown and went tanning.

I did 10 minutes in a really good bed and have a nice glow now.

I know it's so not good for you, but it made me feel sooo much better today!
