Facial Bronzers

I'm sorry you got skin cancer. I'm Hispanic and I do have a "bronze" complexion but even Hispanics and people darker than Hispanics can sometimes get skin cancer, it isn't just fair skinned people.

That is another reason for us to switch to alternative cars and energy sources to reduce pollution.

My best advice is to ask your doctor what he/she would suggest considering your skin. Best of luck!

Hi Trixie,

Congratulations on your healthy, healthy decision. Plus, sun damage (which is cumulative throughout our lifetimes) is the number-one cause of facial wrinkling, so there's another reason (as if avoiding cancer weren't enough) to avoid sun exposure. Almost all sunless tanners use the same ingredient, dihydroxyacetone, to produce the rich tan color on skin. The other differences between tanners are mostly unrelated to their chemical composition: consistency (too thin and you get runny streaks, too thick and you might overdo areas), amount of dihydroxyacetone present in the formula (determines how dark the resulting tan will be), addition of coloring agents so you can see where you've applied and the addition of skin conditioning agents such as cetyl alcohol, glycerine and aloe. As long as you choose a product with that active ingredient and without ingredients that will clog your pores (if you're breakout-prone) you should be well on your way to achieving a golden (artificial!) tan. Good luck! :-)

I sunless tan all the time...it's a lot safer and quicker than a tanning bed....the product you use depends on your skin type...go to www.sunless.com to figure out what your type is and what products are best for you...it's been a real help to me...they also give you tips on application..hope this helps!

I have discovered that it is better for my face if I sweep on some powdered bronzer after applying my foundation. This gives my face a nice glow without all the mess of clogging my pores with a sunless tanner.

I *LOVE* Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Foam. It comes in two shades: Deep and Extra Deep. One application (I use Deep) leaves me with really nice-looking color.
