Okay. So I am (was) a devoted sunbather until a few days ago when I actually gave the whole skin cancer issue some thought at work. (Oh, the things one can think when you're staring at ice cream all evening.)

I'm starting to think that self-tanning and cutting down on the time I spend outside tanning because I really don't want to be one of those people who gets skin cancer when they're 30.

My problem is that I loathe, loathe the orange-y colour than self-tanner always gives people. I don't know why these companies can't make products that turn people brown instead of orange. Anyway, I want to know what is the most natural-looking self tanner you've used or seen used on other people?

I have olive skin and I do tan easily, if that's of any importance, and I have dark hair and dark eyes. I'm looking for a lotion or a gel that goes brown, not orange, and that will stay on for a few days. So if you guys have any suggestions or if you have a question about self-tanner, post away.

And if you have any photos of someone who has used a certain kind of bronzer, feel free to post them.

Thanks dudes!

Good for you, Tanning beds and constant sun tanning is SOOOOO bad for your skin. The good news is that if you go to some spas they offer spray booths with really nice products that give an even non-orange tan. Its probably a little more pricey than home kits, but its better than orange palms or skin cancer.
