Fake and Bake, the orange edition


Summer is on its way, which always puts me in a panic about the pasty-ness of my fair skin.
Personally, I like to remedy my sickly pallor with a wee bit of sunshine, and a wee bit of sunless tanner. That way, I can't get too much of the cancer, and I can't get too much of the orange tinge.

If you were thinking about trying the Neutrogena Sun Fresh, its just meh.
Pros:
foam equals fun
dries fairly quickly (5 minutes)
claims that a "delicious scent features hints of grapefruit and nectarine for an overall fresh experience"

Cons:
makes my elbows and ankles ORANGE (even with extreme precautions against it)
leaves a line at my wrist when i wash my hands
does NOT smell like grapefruit or nectarine, although it doesn't smell as bad as other tanners.

It definitely isn't the worst self-tanner I've ever tried, but it's not the best either. Next time I think I'll take my 10 bucks to a gradual daily self tanner that has a bit more of a golden brown.
'd rather smell like a nectarine instead of look like one (and Sun Fresh didn't even do that!)
