Title: 1st day off week 2...Self tanner for noggin and face???
Post by: Scary Terry on March 09, 2012, 08:19:46 AM
Any suggestions for bronzers/self tan to blend my face and noggin a little?
Spray/mist/rub?
I go back to work Monday from vacation, and I would like to have face and head not be quite as huge of a contrast as it is now.
However...I don't wanna look all orangey either!
Any reccomendations?

They all kinda suck... I've tried a bunch of them... 10-20 brands from different price ranges and none looked natural. I've thought about going to one of those tanning places that do the "Spray tan" a test area first and see if it looks better... But just haven't gotten to it.

I've been sly a long time, and winters I end up looking like "Uncle Fester" lol. Another thing to consider is your goatee ... the dye (tint) will color it also since it's gray.

It's probably not as bad as you think though... We are our worst critics..

I think it looks a little silly too...That's my point. I work outside alot, and my face has a little color...However, my noggin has no color at all. I'll be wearin a work cap alot of the time, especially when I am outside.
Just lookin for a little shortcut to blend it in a little until it evens itself out with time.

Jergens Natural Glow works pretty well. Make sure you only put it on the white dome and not your already tanned head. You dont need alot of it either.

When I mentioned that lotion to my wife, she said she had used it in the past, and it was one of the ones that didn't turn orangy looking...I don't care anything about looking like I been on the beach for my vacation...just wanna blend it a little.

Terry, the Natural Glow doesn't do the orange thing; it's a newer formula than that old stuff from the 70s :o.  It also takes a couple of days, so you better go out and start today  O0

Let it, naturally,  get color  - -it will happen - - believe me, I had a big white spot where I had hair and in  several weeks after shaving - - it blended in  with the rest of my bald head.

I used the new fast formula Jergens Natural Glow. I put a light coat only on my dome. I waited about 6 hours, and used witch hazel to thin it down and blend it in a little. Sunday morning, and I am pleased. It will not need another application. Changed enough to diminish the contrast just a little. If you decide to use this stuff, a little goes a long way.
