Answer 1

ok ive been working at a tanning salon for over a year now and this is very common. first thing to know is that fatty places tann faster then other places. thats y almost everyone will find there stomach and backside tanning faster and darkest. some people say their legs will tan an not their arms and vis versa. it try to use a bronzer just on the spots that arent tanning and regular lotion on the other areas. also depends on how good you tan outside.

Answer 2

My arms and especially my legs are the hardest to tan.  Someone told me that the skin is tighter on the legs and not as soft as the skin on the stomach etc.  You can get a tanning lotion from the tanning salon called something like tan legs, also moisturize, moisturize, moisturize

Just a quick warning, I use to tan in beds & a dark circle appeared around my mouth after that. I've been stuck with it for about 11 years now, so this is my complete advice... if you ever want to avoid something like that, just take a good look at areas on your body, especially your face [since its the 1st thing most people see on a person] and make sure no blotches are STARTING to occur. I would check this after each tanning session. I also have had many friends who run tanning salons, & they give the same advice.

1 self tanner that works wonderfully though is L'Oreal Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self Tanning Mist. A lot of workds right, ha. I use  Medium Natural Tan. I use more for my legs and arms. I never use it on my face. It works great though but apply every day.

Answer 4

what you should try is Jergens Natural Glow lotion, it creates a healthy summer tan. i use it and within days i could see a diffrence. you can buy it at any drugstore.
