Is there anyway that I can get a good tan without my freckles coming up? I've tried sunscreen but then you don't get a tan either. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The best product I ever used in my whole life was sallies airbrushing spray on tan. You can get this especially for the face as well and its so even. Only lasts until you wash with soap. This will go straight over scars, moles & freckles for a flawless finish. Also makes legs look a lot skinnier and hides calulite. Hope that helps

I have a lot of freckles as well. When I tan in a tanning bed, using some of their lotions that help to make a tan darker, I never get more freckles. Plus you really only have to tan for about 2 months to get a tan that will look good and stay for about 3 months. I have only gone tanning for 2 summers. Each time I went for 2 months, got a tan then quit. Never were freckles added, and then when I tanned out side with my tan, I only got tanner, and again no more additional freckles.

Wow! Thanks. Will any tanning lotion work, or a specific kind? What kind did you use? Thanks.

Any kind that has hennah (may have spelled that wrong) really helps. They have the kinds at tanning salons that help you get tanner and also add a light browness to your tent. I loved them! I felt so dark for me, and the freckles were in the backround rather then the first thing everyone sees

Hi, I live on the beach and I don't have a problem tanning but some people I know do, they are similar to your case in that they are really pale with a lot of freckles, but they differ from you in that they don't think they have to become tan so that they look like everyone else who is tan. I don't know if that helps or not but maybe give it a try

Do you know the name of the tanning lotion you used? I would also like to know if hawaiian tropic tanning oils would work?
Thank you so much for your time

Hey, well I think the best thing to do, is tan with no creams or lotions and your freckles will join together and make a more even and darker tan. This is better because once your freckles are joined together, they never really un- join. How ever for them to be fully joined together you need to go on a lot. I have been going on a lot recently, and they are getting there! I was fed up with avoiding and hiding my freckles that now I actually want them to make me a darker tan! And join together.
Everytime I get off a sun bed I look straight in the mirror at the progress, and also get excited. I carnt wait until they join up. That way ill be tanned and natural! Becayuse the only real reason I wear makeup is to cover them up.

So anyway take my advise you can't use lotions for the rest of your life! Join them together its easier!

I just go to my local tanning place and get a spray-on tan. I would just do that a few days before the wedding. Its easy, costs around $20 and lasts for a few weeks. Also no risk of peeling sunburn!
