Im whiter than glue and trying to tan..?

Hey hun! I'm Italian so I tan veryyy well. Some people think i'm too dark? I find it insulting so you should be happy with your skin color, buuut that's not a very good answer. So, go to Victoria's Secret ASAP and buy there Beach Sexy custom tan adjustable self-tan lotion with shimmer. The results are amazing! You'll look a glowing golden color without looking orange AT ALL! You're suppose to apply it after you shower but I shower before and after because It smells kind of like orangy? It's not too bad though. I just dont like the way it smells although lots of people said it smelled good. Their bronzing body powder is nice too but it only looks good over already tanned skin. For the first time use the lightest setting which is "Subtly Sunkissed". As for tanning with your friend? LATHER UP THE SUNSCREEN BABYYYY! lol
