Healthy Hue

So as my 2010 Resolution, I have not been to the 'glorious' tanning bed since December 31, 2009 (I had to get one more in!). I am reminded on almost a daily basis how happy I am to make that decision (i.e. my boss showed me this article yesterday:

So in my determination to not be a lilly white ghost, I found my new best friend..

Yes, this little bottle of love does exactly what it says.. leaves no streaks! Through my teen years I tried a multitude of self-tanners, and was guaranteed orange knees, elbows, feet, hands.. ok, I was an oompa loompa. I don't know if my years of experience did the trick, but I'd like to give the credit to L'Oreal. My secret is that I never apply the gel directly to my elbows or knees. I put some in my hands and start with my thighs and calves and go over my knees like lotion, and do the same with my arms. 

I do follow the directions and usually apply the tanner after shaving and exfoliating the rest of my body. And the most important step, WASH YOUR HANDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER. My roommate decided to try some when she saw it sitting on the counter, and was left red orange-handed.  Ha! 

I have not tried any other streakless tanners, and to be honest if it ain't broke, why fix it? My mom has the Banana Boat and says she's seen nice results, but I'll stick with my bronze bottle.
