Im trying to stop going to tanning beds because of my fear of skin cancer..What are some good tanning lotions (the sunless ones like Jergens Natural Glow) that are REALLY good and dont turn your skin orange? Besides Jergens, thanks :]

i agree with you on tanning beds, but ive gone once, and im not shriveling up and keeling over dead am i? do it in moderation if you must.
+ unless you want to look like an oompaloompa, you shouldnt even consider tanning lotion at all. think of it as a spray paint. you might look good, but because you have no real tan, and the second you step outside, your body will have no natural defense from the sun, except your spf 9000 sunscreen.
my recommendation - put on some low to moderate sunscreen go OUTSIDE and bake. it can help you lose weight, and, even reduce stress and HELP you skin.
