some lotions come with a bronzer in it, they may be using too much of the lotion. it's okay to use it because i use it and i don't have a fake tan at all, it just makes you look browner. however, sometimes if you don't get it right, it can look that crappy fake orange that indoor tanning lotions give you. one time i had my husband put it on for me (cuz i can't reach my back), and i had fakey orange-like spots near my ankles.joyfulgirl said:Truly no one I know who uses a tanning bed is orange. They look like they've been at the beach or in the desert sun. Maybe it's the lotion your friends use? Don't know what else to say about that!
it's either that or they also use sunless stuff too.
i'm the queen of tanning, i know all there is to know.
