Let’s talk about summer tan, and legs, and color on those legs! If you are anything like me you avoid the sun. Ah, for the days of gorgeously tanned legs…been there, done that. But no more.
The solution:
Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Lotion
This is fabulous stuff and I highly recommend it.
I had used the spray for many years and was happy with it. But it DOES create a mess which you need to clean up right away. I ended up spraying one leg at a time over the bathtub.
The lotion is so much easier, can go in your carry-on suitcase, and spreads nicely. This lotion covers all those little spots, gives a nice healthy glow and smooths out your skin beautifully. No need to envy those with a tan anymore! No matter which you use, be sure to spread it around and on your legs with your hands. Work quickly. I blend into the top of my foot and onto my knee just a bit. I have even tried it on my arms and it works very well.
Either way, it washes off easily with soap and water. You do have to be careful after applying to wait a while (15 min.) before putting on clothing. Or, white clothing. I have not had any problems with it rubbing off but you should be cautious. Really, it is a fabulous product.
I have also tried SO many self tanners. No, they are not for me. It takes numerous applications over many days to build up, then you have to maintain the regimen, and for me all those little brown spots were accentuated with the self tanner. My dermatologist DID tell me a trick: get a Q-tip with a bit of acetone nail polish remover and apply a bit to each spot. It works: removes the tanner from just that small area!
But the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs is the way to go. I use the Medium in the lotion but had been using the Deep Glow in the spray. Let us know what you think, whether you have tried this, or what recommendations you have!
I could use this! I worry though that when I want tan legs…I am usual wearing white or light summer colors. Thanks for the tip!
It really is ok with white etc: just wait a few minutes. I had on a white skirt a lot this weekend and all was fine. Amazingly, it doesn’t even rub off in bed! you have to really scrub it off in the shower. Great stuff!
It’s been years since I used a self tanner for all the same reasons. Also, I hate the smell.
I’ll keep my eye out for this Sally Hansen product. I nice even tan on your legs is always a plus!

Oh yes, the smell is awful, no matter what they say! Try this and let me know, Heather!
I definitely Sally Hansen is the way to go. I am trying a bit of light self tan here in France just to see if it might help.

I definitely agree Sally Hansen is the way to go. I am trying some light fake tan here in France to see if it might help. I have way too many brown spots to try the dermatologist’s trick it would take too long.

I hear you about the number of brown spots! Aaackkk: getting older can be tricky!!!
Thank you Libby, I was afraid to try this bit now I will! I have looked at it online many times.
Wow, I may have to give this a try – you always recommend the best stuff! Currently I use Jergens Self Tanner (I like their lotion) and have been pretty satisfied, but you’re right, it takes several days to build up to the color and then you have to reapply routinely. I’m always open to new products.

I love wearing short skirts and for me is very important to have perfect legs. I recommend these products :) This is a good idea for present :)
