love it
I have done the lotion thing and it sux. If you go in a tanning bed even once a week. You come out with a tan not orange and it`s just as bad as the real sun. You also get vitam D which good for you. Going in a tanning bed is so relaxing

I'm ok with it.
I mean people have their opinions on fake tans, but I like it...I mean some people don't want to look albino (sp?) so they get a tan to look a little bit darker! I mean come on...seriously, do you want look dead? I think a lot of girls pull it out but some girls just take it way to far and turn orange.

I like it.
Everyone has their opinion on fake tans, but I like. I mean some people don't want to look like death or albino(sp?) so they want to get a lil darker. And a lot of people have problem tanning, so I mean a lot of girls can pull off the dark tank but some can't, and they look orange.

i use a little bit of self tanner, but never overboard like paris hilton. i'm extremely pale which looks okay in the winter, but i would rather have a tan. i can certainly burn and freckle, however, i cant tan. its always a better alternative to fake tan than going to a tanning bed or sunbathing, if you care about what you look like 10 years from now. my cousin is only 26 and she looks like someone closer to her 40's and she has a very dried out, prune-like appearance from the sun. and my aunt got skin cancer...so given all of that, fake tans are a-ok. lol.

I'm in the middle on this.
Well,I am naturally tanned. But since my eating habits are starting to be horrid I'm losing alot of colour in my face. Not enjoying it. You CAN look orange but,it depends on the brand and if you apply it evenly. Though,my style favourism changes. So,I 'll probobly stop using it. Its pretty though,not orange at all.

i love fake tan because where i live all it dose is rain and we hardley get any sun and pale is so hideouse on some people.
--Posted by x0princessrobin0x




I love it.
A tan from a tanning bed looks great or if u get a proffesional spray tan. But people that put the cheap lotion on themeselves look bad.
--Posted by munchy1081



Tannerific
I have been tanning 2-5 times a week for over a year. And love it. Going in the bed looks good. and getting airbrush tanning looks good too. But doin it urself doesnt. Instead of buying ur crappy lotion go buy a tanning package. Stay tan. lol

i tan in a tanning bed and i love it if i didnt i would be really white and im a cheerleader so i wanna stay tan.

Not much of a diffrence...
Well my mom goes into a tanning bed and you can hardly tell the diffrence between her and a person who tanned normally. I hate going in the sun(Im a vampire! Run or I will suck your blood! lol)so I should start it but I'm apparentally to young. So really all of you saying the only reason its bad is because it turns you orange your being stupid because if you get it put on RIGHT then its not bad. If you put it on yourself with crappy self tanners then yeah you will look orange. Also I hate going in the sun for the fact I'm pale otherwise I wouldnt have a problem. So its kinda hard to go outside to tan if you dont want people to see your paleness. And my neighbors are very nosy so this is possible. The last part of this was made to waste your time. Good day. I SAID GOOD DAY!

Natural versus artificial
I'm not going to stop you or anything, but in my opinion, if you want a tan, go outside. Naturally, our skin tone corresponds with our hair color. This is on purpose, because our bodies want us to be pretty. Artificial coloring defeats this balance, but if you soak up some sun the coloring adjustments are NATURAL (so the match your coloring). It's also a great way to get Vitamin D AND it stimulates hormones that put you in a better mood.

Nah
It makes you look orange and some girls i know only use it so they can be the same colour as PAris Hilton
--Posted by e3rin



dumb
i think they are a waste of time. if you're pale, get over it and do something else to make yourself look pretty. everyone doesnt have to be tan to be pretty. i am naturally tan, and i wouldnt change a thing about it.
--Posted by browneyedbyooty




i want a tan so bad but i'm not gonna stress about it b/c obviousoly i was meant 2 have this skin and atleast it ain't pale.
--Posted by glittergirlht



?
Whats the point. Be proud of your skin. If you can't tan, its for a reason! Fake tans, such as the spray ons look HORRIBLE and orange. You turn out looking like an Oompa Loompa. And for those who go to tanning beds, enjoy your cancer!
--Posted by hdfirstforhalos




cheap!!
it is trashy looking and u will turn out orange!!...EEEEEEEWWWWWWW !!!!!
--Posted by flowersgurl




can we say FAKE?
i hate fake tans, i think its one of the stupidest thingss, i ratha take the natural way and go lay out in the sun, fake tans always look bad n the color is all messed up
--Posted by lil_liv_pimpz




It kills
I think I heard something about tanning giving you cancer. About the sun's ultraviolet waves or something. Do you REALLY wanna die for an orange tan? Issues, much?
--Posted by csiagent




why u tryin 2 be any darker pale ppls?ull look artficially orange. at least im naturally dark.i dont need 2 be any more darker.
--Posted by frenchfriluver




oompa loompa land..
why would you want to look radioactive or some shit? plus you can get cancer from tanning. id much rather be pale and not look like an oompa loompa
--Posted by playxdead



Oompa Loompa alert!
It's disgusting. It looks fake and it's messy. And it's always streaky or orange. Anyway, who wants to look like and Oompa Loompa?
--Posted by saritagurl




gross
it's bad for your health (cancer, obviously) and it makes your skin age a lot faster. and most guys don't even like it; it's too fake. pale can be sexy, too!
--Posted by expertette




i dont like it fake!! cause some gurl have that and then you can see the real skin color and it looks mess up
--Posted by chokilina



N-O. No.
Awful!! I can't stand it when people go out and fake tan until they are orange or until they are a scary shade of brown. A real tan is the only way to go.
--Posted by ms_muse




eeeeeeeeewwww
ugh they make u look plastic n plus if u guys r 2 afraid 2 go out in the sun get a sunburn ( w/ the possibility of cancer ) u guys r retarded n plus sun's good 4 u
--Posted by pimpinrocker06
