Self tanners

LMCD — Sat, 13 Mar 2021 02:24:47 GMT

I can’t imagine that QVC sells many self tanning products after looking at many of the hosts that look like pumpkins! Between the overdone tanners and overdone makeup it’s hard to believe that anyone would purchase some of these products! Just my opinion but many of them look just hideous!

@LMCD

Some of the hosts must be doing their legs and feet. I've noticed splotchy tans on ankles in some of the sandals shown recently.

Dare I say a bit too orange.

Could be my tv screen, though.

I'm always adjusting the color via my remote whenever self tanners are presented.

I think that bronzers seem to be more natural looking, and no need to adjust my tv's color.

Never found a tanner that didn't turn orange on me and there have been many. Awful.

I think they work best for smoothing out an uneven tan. The orange isn't as noticeable.

The last couple summers I have been using Josie Maran's tanning oil. I do not put it on with the mitt. I put a couple drops in my body lotion. I use First Aid Beauty in the jar. So I just scoop out some lotion, add two or more drops of the tanning oil, rub my hands together and apply. I have never had streaks, I have never turned orange and it looks very natural. Just thought I'd share.🌞

I think they look awful too--after trying several myself over the years---the one that i thought was the best was a clear one that had dark beads in it that was called clear tan---not sure about the name , but it was on the Q and was a bronzer not a tanner so it came off in the shower. But it didn't smell like dirty feet and gave me a nice natural tan and didn't stain either.

Is there anything, person, style, hairstyle , skinny pant, host that ppl do not pick apart aside from their favorites? It is so apparent that posters here just bash hosts they do not care for and continuously praise the older hosts that they want to watch 24/ 7 .

Uh yeah, it's been going on here for years, where have you been? LOL

I think it must be a pre-requisite for hosts to have to use self tanner. If you believe everything they say, they use and buy every product that is shown on QVC. Would not be the job for me. False eyelashes, false hairpieces, clown make-up, just silly to sell these cheapo products.

MineTan has never turned orange on me and it doesn't stink either. I really like it.

Close up shots of hosts presenting shoes or pants with streaky orange ankles and/or feet grosses me out. Maybe if they didnt slather it on it wouldn't be so off putting. its just unnatural. I have no problem with self tanners but everything in moderation.

I do like the one that you add a few drops to your moisturizer - Isle of Paradise, I think? That one looks pretty natural, and I like it because you don't have to use a mitt, and put it IN your body lotion, and don't have to wait to get dressed for fear of getting some on your clothes. It's pretty natural looking. I gave up on all the other stuff.

oh i whole heartly agree with you fashionisinc.it seems to me,most of the time its the same ones that get bashed.you cant tell me hosts do not read this stuff.even tho,maybe they are told not to comment,im sure they still look at comments.and you are right,i never see any bashing about older hosts.always the young ones

As a redhead, I do not tan. MANY years ago as a teenager, I tried the Coppertone foam tanner, and hated the outcome on my skin. No more.

I don't understand why hosts and models use self tanners in the spring, when they tan naturally thru the summer.

I was just thinking today that some of the hosts have gone overboard with the self tanners. Some of them could stand to dial it back.

I'm a huge fan of sunless tanning and I have found St, Tropez to be my favorite. Some brands can have an orange tint but I haven't had that issue thus far. And....it also makes you look thinner and more toned! (Always a good thing!) I think Amy & Shawn do a great job with their faux tans, as well. Both are lovely.
