Orange You Glad There Are Good Self-Tanners?

by WiredBerries Editors — May 19, 2008

I'm freckly and fair-skinned and either get red or really red from any sun exposure, so I've been using self-tanning lotion since it first appeared on the market. I'd proudly display orange, streaky legs rather than endure the pasty-skin comments from my peers. These days, with the skyrocketing rate of melanoma skin cancer and the fear of looking like a handbag in 5 years, self-tanners are being embraced by even those who can tan naturally. And for good reason - you can get a gorgeous glow with no damage, no streaks, and no stink! So until we can embrace our natural healthy glow, whatever shade that may be, consider one of the new and fabulous self-tanners on the market.
