Alrighty then...my first product review will be on Oil of Olay - "Touch of Sun"
I'm very interested in mitigating that pale, blueish-Gray shadow A.S.A.P. -- the subject that led me to this site back on November 8th.
I've recommended it on several occasions to various newbies asking that they report back, but no one has. So I'll do the reportin' dangit.
I'll be shaving my noggin for the first time this weekend, so the pale area will be PROMINENT....especially with the coverage I still have (i.e. lack of MPB).
This will be a test of how quickly the pale shadow can be mitigated and then tanned with this product.

Look forward to hearing about it. I'm the whitest Italian that I know.

I've been applying it every 2 hours, man. Worked great on all the skin OTHER THAN THE PALE SHADOW where it was blotchy and patchy.......made areola-like circles around several moles I have up there (LOL!).
<---------------see how it's pretty affective on the other skin (I haven't been outside that much to get that color).
Before I keep slathering that stuff on (12 bucks a tube!!)...I'm going to try the good ol' mile-high Denver sunshine a few times. Got out in it for about 30 minutes today.
So the bottom line is that it didn't work like I thought it would on the corpse-like lizard underbelly.
However, it does give a nice even and CONTROLLABLE tone to the face and neck.
-
Noner.....on second thought.....it might work fine for your noggin since it's more weathered and "normalized" up there.
It worked fine on all my receding areas....and on the sizeable patch on the back of my noggin where my hair was really thin. It was just the fishy, gooey part that didn't know what to do with it.
Hope that helps.

The "fishy-gooey part" I like how Robmeister doesn't get caught up in the technical jargon
-
For those of us old enough....remember that ol' Saturday Mornin' cartoon "Johnny Quest"?
There was the older guy "Rafe" or "Race" I think was his name....he had the greyish-blond buzz cut.
<----------that's what my pale shadow reminds me of...except he had a lower hair line.

If you weren't ribbin'....I wouldn't be feelin' the love.
Paul is feelin' the love all the time :D

Related to that...
Have you ever been in a social situation--guys, gals...whatever--where everyone's joking, ribbing, poking fun......but when you're brought into the conversation, it's all serious and status quo?
Ya don't feel the same love, man.

Early to mid 1970's ... probably not. Damn I'm old ... or you're young!

If that's true, I wasn't alive...LOL
That just means I'm young.

Thanks for cushioning that blow. I met a girl from HS recently. She is now a grandmother (at age 46).

Yep. That happens a lot where I come from. There's only a few things you can do for fun when you live in the sticks.

I am using the Oil of Olay and can't see any results to give my head that tan look. I will keep applying. Maybe I should have used the darker blend. I just did not want any dramatic results. Looking forward to the spring for some natural sun...gradually of course.
-

Same here, man....I can see a nice subtle toning to my face and neck, but it just ain't doin' the pale patch.

I have the darker blend. When I first shaved last week, I was puttin' that stuff on every two hours....5 or 6 applications!!! Not sure what the deal is.
Let us know if you see results or if you try another product.
-
try this, works great!!!:
coppertone endless summer sunless tanning (gradual tan)
-
I love this Touch of Sun product. I only use one coat, right after shaving. It takes away that freshly shaved color, but isn't too strong so you're not left with that orange tan.
-
After using for a couple of weeks, I love the smell and it does moisturize but can't see any sun results. Tell us more about endless summer for some sun in a bottle results...

That's been my experience....quality stuff....and it has a nice subtle tone on my face & neck....and on my receded forehead....just not on the pale shadow

I'm going to try that next....I'll let ya know

It's too bad alot of these other products arent available in Canada I'd like to give them a try also.

Yeah sometime it suck that we don't get to try some of this stuff or have to wait forever for it to come to canada
-
Hey another Canadian trucker? Right on and hello.
I've been using the touch of sun for about a week now and can't see any difference.
-
I just bought the "Touch of Sun" and am anxious to try it because of my white Irish Sly head. I will update with results...I am usually very much against the fake tan, but this product says it will blend your skin color, so hopefully I don't turn into a basketball head.

his name was RACE...race bannon. he was dr. quest's ...um...companion, or partner, or something. not that there's anything wrong with that.
anyway, you had dr. quest...described only generically as "a scientist"----his son, johnny quest who evidently didn't ever go to school---race bannon, who was kind of the multi-purpose, action figure who did all of dr. quest's ass-kicking for him---and then for some unknown reason, they carted around a little turban-wearing indian kid named "hajji". oh yeah, so they could fit in with every other cartoon of the era-- johnny had a dog named "bandit" that communicated in some variation of the jetson's dog astro's famed "rut roh" exclaimation. when i was in the first grade i thought it was the coolest thing i'd ever seen. in retrospect i was an idiot.
