So basically, I've got 2 days to get tanner legs (never mind why). BUT my city isn't getting much sun for another week, so there goes that. And I'm not allowed to buy any fake tan spray or anything (and I wouldn't use it more than this one time, anyway). It wouldn't be so bad if my legs were pale like, an even white. But they're more like, a color you can tell is SUPPOSED to be like a beige color, but is just a sickly pale, uneven light yellowish/beigish color. The fact that I'm really clumsy and have bruises all over my legs, as well as darker (and slightly pinkish) knees only emphasizes this. ANYWAY, I know there are natural home-remedy-type ways to LIGHTEN skin (like using milk, lemon, things like that), so I'm wondering, any similar ways by which to TAN skin a little bit, WITHOUT sun or products?

It's hard enough to find a product that is good enough to not make you streaky, orange, etc. and this people spend millions of dollars researching! I don't think doing it yourself is a good idea. You'll probably regret it.
You can cover up the bruises though. They sell yellow and green concealers in any decent beauty supply. YELLOW covers purple-y colors and GREEN covers red like colors. Then just put a regular, skin-toned concealer on top.
This works great for other stuff too. Like if you have circles under your eyes- use the yellow. If you have a zit put the green on top.
In case you're wondering- that's because these colors are opposite colors of the color wheel so they cancel each other out- like a positive and a negative. :')
