Hosts Using Self Tanner Products

RetailTherapy31 — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 04:22:51 GMT

I was under the impression that self tanners had come a long way and were no longer Oompa Loompa Orange and streaky.

I've noticed in the past 2 weeks two hosts who have orange palms and knuckles, when there is a zoomed in shot of the hands showing product details, it looks terrible. They all come with basic instructions to "wash your hands after use".

Today one of these hosts still had orange palms & knuckles and then she was wearing the Koolaburra furry slides TSV and I couldn't believe my eyes! Her feet were just awful, very dark orange- brown with missed areas and white heels.

This is an unattractive distraction on a host or model. I'm not picking on them or naming them, but it comes off as unprofessional and imho their natural skin tone or a powdered body bronzer would be 100X better.

@RetailTherapy31 I remember a time within the last 18 months or so, I tuned in to a jewelry presentation. Antonella was the host and she WAS orange. It looked horrible, like she'd glow in the dark. Even the palms of her hands were that color.

She even made a comment about it that she had overdone it. It was kind of funny but looked really bad.

@RetailTherapy31. Apparently the amazing, revolutionary new tanning products haven't made it to QVC where orange is in. Of all the places, you'd think they could do it correctly.

I gave up on self-tanners years ago. Too hard to get it on evenly, and that smell. I do have some Westmore Beauty cream that I will put on my upper arms on the rare event that I will wear short sleeves just to try to blend in my farmer tan. Even that is difficult to get on evenly with so splotchiness or streaking, but at least it doesn't stink and I think it isn't obvious.

Icegoddess I gave up a long time ago as well, never found one that didn't stink and they are too much bother. A professional spray tan might look good but nothing that you apply with your hand or a mit.

I have tried some really expensive ones and some cheap ones at the insistence of my DIL, who uses them (like me, she has fair skin and flaws show easily). She told me about Jergens. I thought I was going to look like a clown. Best faux tan I ever had.

I do not see orange even though it's obvious gloves were not worn for application of most products. I have used many products that gave me a wonderful tan base and got so many compliments on but Jergens was one that had the real blotchy orange glow when I tried it and when seeing it on others! I have yet to see anyone who raves about it not look blotchy!

@Pook

As with any tanning product, you must not have dry skin and you should have exfoliate skin and use lotion and skin must not be perfectly dry. I have every reason to have blotchy skin with a tanning product but I don't with Jergens. Maybe it is all in the way one does it. But I don't look blotchy and I don't look orange.

I never understood people who think it is good to rub this stuff into your skin....

I tried self-tanner once back when I was in high school. Never again.

@tototwo You brought back memories from the 60's when my girlfriend and I decided to put our babysitting money together and go to our local drugstore to get some tanning lotion OH WHAT A MISTAKE, the only good thing was there was no school,but family members laughed so. We both were light skin , and we both turned STREAKING Orange ,we didn't see each other for a week, and never took so many baths and showers . Never tried again and bet they are much improved but that one summer day scared me , I always pass when see self tanners on shopping channels.

There's one particular host that doesn't seem to take much care when applying. I always notice the feet and they never seem to apply that area carefully. It's like they just slap it on.

This is neither here nor there (so to speak):

About a week or so ago, I thought my TV screen was 'off' on the color.

So I attempted to correct the what I thought was my TV screen problem.

Then, as I looked closer, the vendor(s) from his/her home via Zoom (or whatever) had normal skin tone.

So, after thinking about it, I'm only guessing that the host(s) were wearing self tanners, which had an orange tint.

Maybe too much, too soon.

'Little by little' applications might be better.

I remember my first try at self tanner..oh brother. I was getting ready for my 8th grade graduation dance...bought self tanner, shaved my legs cut myself several times, put on the tanner. Off I went in my baby pink dress with orange legs and little bandaids stuck to them. I was sure no guy would ask this idiot to dance. But they did! I had a great time and a good memory.

Let us all remember that because of COVID all the hosts are doing their own hair and make-up and nails. They are probably doing their own self-tan as well. None of these things will look as good as when the professionals do them. Maybe we could cut the hosts a break just this once.

The host I spoke of had the messy tanner long before COVID.

Kerstin is generally overly self-tanned. When it it obvious you have self-tanned, you have applied too much too often.

Years ago Philosophy had an excellent self tanner. Smelled nice, no steaminess, went on white so easy to blend and looked like a true beach tan! However, as with all good things from Philosophy, long gone post sale! Sad!!
