Elemess Tan Excelerator.
There is a thread on here on suntans etc and people have raved about this. I have ordered to bottles (buy one get one free) and can twait to start using it. You apply every day for about two weeks before and then throughout the holiday before you put on your sunscreen and apparently it works an absolute treat!!
Cant wait to ditch the fake tans and be a natural tanned godess, whilst still using factor 40. Natural redhaed, blue eyed and freckled!!! I have to be carefull but im going all out for the tan this year.

Hi Shazza06,
Which gym's do the injections? I've read bits about them on the internet but everything you have to order from abroad mainly. Not sure I would go that far but you never know!!

I have read somewhere today about a bloke who had the tanning injections and then went sunbathing on
holiday - and he looked a blue colour. :yikes

I'm sure it was on here somewhere.....

Go to Cyprus. :)
My legs have never gotten so brown on any holiday ever, we've been back now four weeks and I still havn't touched my dove holiday skin or ventured near a sunbed, they are still a lovely colour. Don't know why they have gone so brown this year as I have used the same tanning lotion and not spent any longer in the sun as in previous years in spain and dom rep. :que

Same with me mine don't brown either! I always used to brown lovely when I was younger and I often wonder if it's years of shaving my legs that stopped them tanning. I do exfoliate but maybe I need to do it more :cheers

I said exactly the same as you Shell, on another thread up there^^^^ somewhere.

And there's a lot more of my legs to tan now :( so it's nothing short of a miracle how the sun misses them!

Hi mm, I'm going to scrub mine this year, I am determined to get some colour to them! :) My Sister's go really brown and my Mum's always did so why do mine stay so white :que

Moisture is the key, i have dry skin and have white marks on my legs when i scratch them. like i have said before you need a good moisturiser. i use oil on holiday when sunbathing then have a shower and smother myself in Dove 24 hr moisturiser. stops the skin drying out and my legs are always darker than the rest of me..unfortunately little chunky legs are not the best for the latest fashion :cry so it`s jeans when i come home..

Shell,
i was always the same as you, my dads side of the family were darker skinned than my mams side and me and my brothers have taken after my dad.when i was a kid i was always dark skinned but when i started shaving my legs they were whiter than the rest of me.. found that if you are in the garden in the sun put sunbed cream on your legs until you can feel the sun working then put normal suncream on so they don`t burn. for some reason i now catch it more on my legs than anywhere else..

Didnt progress witht he tan injectons, seemed like too much of a risk.

However, I started my Elmiss yesterday.
Didnt like the feel of it initially a bit dry, but it blends well and dries quickly. Still used my moisturiser befor my make up as it didnt seem to moisturise the skin that much. Going to continue using every day and maybe have a sunbed session on wednesday, normally would not go near them but will give it a go in the name of research with the Elmiss.

Hope it works!!

Don't wear anything white after you've put the Elemis on, it stains a nasty brown colour! :yikes
