To start off, I would consider myself to be generally fair skinned. I have light hair, green eyes, and faint freckles. Last summer my skin actually started tanning when in the sun, instead of burning, so since then, I have been able to tan lightly. But my problem is my legs. No matter how long I sit in the sun, my legs never change colors. And if they do, it's barely, and the tan usually disappears after I shave anyways. I occasionally use self tanner, but during the summer it just becomes a hassle to have to reapply reaplly reaplly; and id rather not visit a tanning salon just because it seems like a waste of money. So I was wondering if there were any suggestions as to how to get my legs to tan, and stay tan...

I know, I didn't know this either, and I go to a tanning place all the time, and I was reading Seventeen and it said that. Try using tanning oil. It makes you tan alot faster. Its also not annoying like spray on tans or whatever, because you don't have to always apply it. It also doesn't turn you orange either..
Tanning salons are not that expensive. I use to think that to, until a friend of mine told me, how they arn't. Atleast where I live, they range from 15-30 dollars. Pending on what kind of package you get. When I go it was 20 dollars a month, unlimited. I calcuated it out how much it was, and each day it was only 89 cents. so thats not bad.
