Gel Body Bronzer

Post by JenK » Thu Jun 23, 2011 9:14 am

I would LOVE for SN to make a gel body bronzer. I am going to try making one this weekend, but I know it will be a miss. I'm sure SN could do it wayyyyyyyyy better than me.

like a tinted gel as opposed to a self tanner?

I know it seems like a cool idea- and I tried it a few years ago. For me, I was never really comfortable when I had it on...I was always worried about getting my legs wet, and having it run.

That, and making sure I had even application was sort of a pain- I'm not particularly coordinated, so it was just sort of a pain to apply.

In theory you should be able to add a little bronzer into your moisturizer without too much issue, or just dust it on when the lotion on your legs is just a little bit wet.

Anything water based is going to have the potential to run though. The answer is probably silicones, but I don't work with them enough to come up with anything good.

Thanks for your thoughts. My big fear is it transfering on everything...couch, car, clothing. I may just try to mix it in w/ my moisturizer and see how it goes. You know I will get caught in a rain shower when I am testing it out...LOL!!!
