Love your screen name!
I don't have an answer for your question, but I wanted to comment on your screen name. It brought back such fun memories for me. First year of college at SLU, went downtown after the win, wild fun night!! I had a mid-term the next morning in English but got an A! Thanks for the memories
BTW, I too shun the sun. I use L'Oreal products for my fake tan and they seem to work pretty good. Cathe does look great though, doesn't she?!!

I am also one who suffers from the effects of to much tanning (both from the sun & beds)in my youth. I am now 38 yrs old & have had 2 spots of skin cancer removed. Going for yet another biopsy in July. The only safe tani s a fake tan.
I do miss having the glow from tanned skin but it's just not owrth the risk IMO.
Just putting in my 2 cents.

Tanning lotion
Hi i am also a white white chick and also try to stay out of the sun. What i do 1st for about a week or 2 is us jergens lotion for fair skin to get a good base tan. Then i use Bare escentuals faux tan from QVC. Haven't found anything on the market better. It has a dark mud appearnce but that is so you can see were you need to keep blending. It is not orange and i get lots of shocked looks when i tell people that it is fake. I love it!!!!! I would not use anything else. You can not put it on your face but she has made a faux tan face powder that you lightly buff on or you could use a face bronzer. I have done both with good results. I am a HUGE Bare escentuals fan and use there base and other makeup. I would try it. I love it. Tricia

Since we're talking about self tanners, I tried a new one recently and love it. It's Hawaiian Tropic's Island Radiance. I used the gel formula last year. This year they came out with a creme lotion. Gave me great color and it has a nice tropical smell.

I gave up
I embraced my paleness. When I was young I had several severe sunburns. One of them turned the top layer of my skin black(charcoaled like a piece of grilled meat) because I don't notice soon enough that I am already burning. I was very young. The sunscreen just didn't work. It hurt a lot. Thats what I get for having red heads in the family. I wish I could tan but it hurts way too much. I always bundle up on sunny days. Long sleeve shirt, khaki pants, hats, zinc oxide on my face. I look like I'm on safari.
