African-American TANNING-lol, not what...

Thanks

I am medium brown and go to the tanning bed, the one with rays, every three of four days. It is great for my skin and I glow.

i always thought my mom was crazy, she is a pretty dark woman, and uses sunless tanner, she is crazy about her skin looking good and always told me it makes your skin tone more even, and I tried it and it did. I haven't really gone out lookin to buy any or anything, but it gave my skin have a nice even glow..

I use that too! I love it, but I usually have to apply 2 coats to get the shimmer that I want hehe. I even use it on my girlfriends who are really white and they love it too. It's like the one product we can all share hehe.

I love bronzers, tanning etc...The other day I was wearing shorts and my mom was like 'Oh my gosh! your legs are soo white!!' My mom's Japanese, BTW!!! When I don't get sun for a while my skin gets pale and  kind of yellow. I couldn't afford the Body Bling stuff, so I made my own. I mixed a teensy bit of foundation with gel bronzer, shimmer powder and body lotion. Turned out great!
I'm thinking of getting a spray on tan, apparently St. Tropez is strong enough that it even covers up stretch marks! So I think I may have to treat myself :)

Don't they call that stuff "bronzing" or something?  I know I've read of a few celebs that use bronzer to make their skin more golden

Do you mean like a spray-on tan?  They have Mystic tan parlors that do it on almost every corner in my Texas town (like we don't get enough  sun!)   Just watch out, those fake tans SMELL.
Instead of tanning (real or otherwise) try a product called Body Bling.  It's the same stuff alot of Hollywood stars use when they want that "shine".  I've used it, it's actually quite nice.

you think!  Isn't there a thing for A-A where they don't get a tan to get darker, but go to a tanning place to have their skin goldened. I know what your thinking lol, it's hard to explain. It makes our skin glisten, bright and vibrant, with sparkles. I doesn't change the skin tone, it just makes it stand out...Is anyone familiar with what I'm talking about? Anyways, I wanted to know the name for it, it's not "tanning" so it's ___________.
