Has anyone tried reapplying the same shade on the day after coloring in order to blend missed spots? Should I wait a week &amp; live with zebra stripes?

if you use the healthy look formula with no peroxide and just apply as a touch up, you should be just fine!! i still did the overall 5 min dose at the end to blend with no problems.

Sally Beauty and other beauty supply stores carry liquid tan removers and wipes. Are you trying to remove one spot or the all over color? One tip when applying: if you notice a darker spot, I just use a regular (not tanning) face or body lotion and rub it to blend. I have had no funny looking streaks or spots and I use a lot at one time. I use it on my face too. I have olive skin color and I am naturally pale. Hope this helps.

Hi,I am not too sure of your skin type, but I would start with just doing a sample patch first, leaving it one the least amount of time as suggested on the box. If you don't suffer any problems, then you can work your way up to using it once a week. I would do mine at night to allow for any redness to subside by morning. Also remember to check against the other beauty products in your regime. Some of the different acids should not be mixed or they could severely irritate your skin. Please do your homework before using with retinols and other acidic products! Good luck:)

Renea, unfortunately, my machine has mo instructions whatsoever, so I have not been able to use it.I can tell you that I think peels coupled with dermaswerp/microdermabrasion/ diamond tip treatments are the way to go for dark spots. You see some results right way but the key is continuing treatments ( 2-4 times month for multiple months) along with sunblock everyday. Everyday; not just during the summer momthd

I think it works well on kids AND adults. My whole family has pretty much maintained our pale skin colors all summer! Just make sure you reapply as directed. The one time we got a little pinkness on our cheeks was when I lost track of time and reapplied much later than I should have.

I would do it now to get an idea of how dark you want it to be. That will give you an idea of how far in advance to put on, and you will be able to see how long it lasts on you. Since everyone's skin tone is different some don't need more than one application every few days. If you are not worried about that I would suggest the day before or morning of.

I think this pore clearing one that is so great only comes in the one shade - I only know this because when it was way too light for me & I tried to find it in a more medium/peachy tint but couldn't find it. I haven't tried the other ones they have

I'm in the shade NC55 for MAC, and this works great for me, but it all depends on your undertone. I have yellow undertones in my inner face, and red undertones everywhere else, but I can use this as an all over. For yourself, I would try it out because I can use it on myself, and friends your shade, but again, be careful about your undertone. Undertone is everything, and can really mess up how powder/foundation looks on a person.

I did try it for just that reason and found success as long as I went right behind with a soft cloth a blended. Small pinpoint areas are fine but broad strokes look like bad coloring.

Yes. I usually just use water but baking soda and water may be even better. Start with a lower concentration and don't leave it on long. And a day or two later redo the same spot. Good luck!

Honestly I think you may have to play around with it to find the right one. I bought natural and it was a little too dark, you can always buy a lighter shade to mix with one that's too dark. Your best bet is to go to a store and actually hold one to your skin before you order online. Also try the Loreal website

How ironic..I literally applied this just last night. You can see the color change right when you put it on..it gives you a glow. But if you do it in the evening, you will see it definitely the next morning

I had one that started faded right away and it was gone in a week. I had another one that gradually faded over a 2 month period. I have others that have faded but have not completely gone away over the past 6 months. I have also been using Retin A cream which helps with the cell turn over. My skin care specialist told me today that the active ingredient In Lytera will actually draw the dark spot to the surface of the skin so sometimes you may have some new ones show up. The Obaji bleaching products active ingredients actually suppress the melanin. I personally prefer to flush it all out and be done with it. I'm sure its more technical with than that's what I heard.

I use the gloves and follow the instructions, after I take a little smidge of it and mix it with a little lotion and rub into my hands, wrists, blending well. Then wipe palms on wet wipe or wet towel quickly. I also mix like above and use on my face. I only use foundation on trouble spots now. Yes, it will leave a mark unless is is blended in very well (easier to do if you have a little natural tan to work with). I would suggest doing your legs only to see if you like it, then the whole body. It takes me 20-30 min. to do whole body. I use a nail brush too, to make sure I get it all out from under my nails and my cuticles; it turns them yucky if you don't.

Use the lighter colors first and wipe with alcohol at your blend areas and lighten the area up and place you darker color. The alcohol will allow you to blend the two or more colors

You have to use the maui babe 30 lotion first then put that on top.For pale skin you just don't tan outside as long it tells you that on the bottle.It does not streak....love this product & do use both

It might depend on your natural pigmentation. I'm about MAC NC30 and I finished a bottle in a little over a month. If you are lighter, it won't last as long because you will need more protection.
