Settle an argument

[ChinkChink]

Summer self tanners. You can get some brands in a choice of for fair-medium skin tone or for medium to olive/dark skin tone etc.

So which has more of the active ingredient? ie which would give a deeper result?

I say - for a deeper result get the medium-olive option because it must have more 'tan' in it. An olive skin can 'take' a deeper colour.

My friend says - for a deeper result get the fair-medium option because it must have more 'tan' in it. To make you equally tanned as someone with olive skin.

Who's right?

I haven't checked the labels but I would guess the one designed for medium olive skin has more active ingredient and that the one for fair skin is supposed to be subtle.

I would guess the olive version had more in it. Like ‘Sun In’ had more bleach in it depending on how blonde your natural hair colour was .

2-0 to me so far. Any more?

Oh - and @SaoirseTheSeahorse - Friday night is Amami night. So my [cough] granny told me.

In agreement with you. A fake tan is supposed to be natural, one aimed at fair skin will never send you super tanned (or at least, it shouldn't!).

Your friend has obviously had too much sun
I'm fair, what does she think would happen if I put a stripe of each on my leg?

I think you are right

Your right. Sometimes the tone of the fake tan is different to I've noticed.

Ha I win!

Thanks all.
