I would just start off with a few minutes see how you do then increase the minutes, but you should be ok with it.

I would start off with a lower bronzer like 25x then 40x first If your really pale. And then use this after about a month or even two of consistant tanning then you can do the 75x. You don't want it to look fake and as well as you could just burn. Hope I was able to help and good luck with your tan!!!!

I'm very fair, but I used a lotion with a little self tanner for a week before I used this. I also used it after. This is the best spray tanner I have used. You can spray a really fine mist at a distance to start and build from there. Exfoliate with something first.

Ban de Soleil is neither. It is an SPF 4 tanning oil. It is a little greasy, but very fragrant and with a little sun, will give you a beautiful, golden, moisture rich tan in a day or two. But you have to be careful...if you do not have a 'base' tan before you start using it, you could get a bad burn. It's oil, plain and simple. I start with an SPF 30 and very little sun for days, building up my base, then go for the good stuff! Have fun!

Yes. I am light skinned and the classic gives me just the right color. It looks very natural. Not too dark. Just enough to have a natural looking tan. I have sometimes even used a second application just to get a deeper color. It always looks natural, never orange.

It's a little like a self tanner. I don't think you'll get as dark without tanning. It will leave streaks if you don't apply it evenly. But if you wear gloves it's fine:) I love it though!

I too am very pale. I use medium beige. The lighter shade made me look like a ghost. Then I finish with warmth. It's an all over type blush. I use it on my cheek bones. I have been using Bare Escentuals for over 10 years now. I wouldn't use anything else. The ones you see in stores that have mineral in their names do not compare. I'm always told I have beautiful skin, I'm 61 years old.

I have very fair skin, the product never burned me, but it flat out says not to use it if you have a tan... to me that would mean any mediterranean (light olive) - any dark skin would be bad. I agree that there needs to be a contrast between the hair and skin.

Absolutely! It's actually one I start out with when I tan...and I have Pale Irish skin :)

I use accelerator once I've gotten my base to get to my peak darkness. Bulbs in beds are also a major factor with getting the optimal tan. The only thing that will get you any darker, with lotions, is the dyes or bronzers. I've used a whole lot of lotions over the years that have claimed to do better than the others or better than anything you've ever tried but they all pretty much do the same thing. Your skin will only get so dark, depending on your skin type!

It doesn't really make you much darker immediately, its more like it adds a kind of glow to your skin.I have VERY pale skin and I've been using this for a month and laying out a couple times a week. I havent gotten sunburnt and I'm the darkest I've ever been!

I never used the first one. But I have used several other lotions with similar bronzers in them, and so far this is my favorite. I prefer it over another tanning lotion I have that is three times the price. It gives me a great tan, and quickly. I love this lotion.

I have no experience with the consistency of tanning solution, my first thought would be as long as it's not to thick.

The tanning consultant at my salon said you can use it before but it doesn't actually get you tanner. There isn't bronzer or DHA in it, so it isn't meant to make you tan, instead is meant to prolong the life of your tan and moisturize your skin. So if you want to moisturize your skin before you get into the bed that will help, but after you put it on you should put bronzing lotion on too. I've only tried a few lotions but luminary by designer skin is my favorite right now, definitely recommend that. jwoww wedding white bronzer is actually really good too.

I would put it on before you go tanning, that way you can see the results better. Use it every time you tan and you will be darker.

Not a traditional self tanner. It does provide a slight darkening. You need to apply often. It won't turn you orange.

Yes this is an indoor tanning lotion and it is one of my favorites. This lotion is pretty good i had been using it for few years, it will give you a nice dark tan.
