I see that the Q sells many self tanners. Which have worked best for you. If you had a problem with one could you let me know about it. I have tried different brands and never found one I like.

I've never found one that did not leave an offensive order. I've read it has to do with your body chemistry.

Yes, I've found they all have an odor, too.

The one that works best with me, and smells the best, is Tarte's.

TanTowels, sold on the other channel, work well, but the scent, when it dries down, is that bad odor. Jmo.

I use the Bare Minerals faux tanner. I am very sensitive to scents and this doesn't bother me at all. Use it first on a day when you aren't leaving home, because it has a color to help you see where you put it and that is extremely dark. I never leave home until I have washed it off in the evening.

The secret is to use the large buffing brush that comes with it to get a streak-less application. Apply wearing gloves and smooth over your skin, but then use the brush to buff in circular pattern to smooth out streaks and edges.

After the first few applications of the Summer, I usually then use L'Oreal Sublime Bronze tanners to keep up the look as this can be applied right before going out. Again, I use the BE brush to buff it before it dries. . They don't have an offensive odor either.

Both of these give a very believable natural tone.

The best I ever found was a new one out last year that I got a free sample bottle of it a Sephora. It's called Vita Liberata and it had no smell either. It's more expensive but worth it.

Why does anyone want to look tan? I can't think of anyone over the age of 25 who looks good with one real or otherwise.

I've had good success with the tan towels sold on HSN. Of all that I have tried I think these provide the most natural looking tan.

I like a little color. Not into "tan Mom" or the "orange look". Most of them smell (Jergens, yuck) or they leave streaks.I prefer tinted bronzer lotions , instant color. Any good ones?
