Then a big flashing neon sign that says skin cancer pops into my head! It seems the older I get the more spotty and freckly my skin gets, it would be nice to blend them all together into a little 'tan' ;) -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!

Just make sure you exfoliate first and use it sparingly around your knees, ankles, and elbows and wash your hands right away or you will get stained palms. It also helps if you have someone there to help get your back and tops of you hands. -------------- You can do anything you set your mind to! 5\'6 Highest weight 215.6 lbs October 22/02 Current weight 195.4 lbs

azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/06/25, 12:09 PM I agree with tara 100%. I live in AZ and at this time of year the only 'safe' time to be out in the sun is before 9am or after 6pm. I don't intend to develop this healthier lifestyle and then give it up to skin cancer! -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!

(about half and half) That way it never streaks, plus it goes a lot further. I've even mixed the spray with lotion and it works just fine too. One tip: When you are rubbing it in, be sure to keep your fingers pressed together against each other. That alone will eliminate lots of streaks.
