Prom is in 3 weeks and I am wondering on my best bet for a dark but natural tan! Should I just keep going in the beds?!

Beds can be really harmful so I found this really cool trick. Coca powder and lotion mixed together make a really good way to get a tan. I know it's not like a tanning bed but it's better than tanning bed risks. So it's really good and works awesome. You have to experiment with amounts of each to find the color you want.

I tried coca powder and lotion. It leaves streaks and it clumps together.
I found what worked best for me was coffee grounds.
I used 1 cup of USED coffee grounds and a a cup of olive oil. You could also soak in the bath tub with just te coffee and water if you fit (:
You gently scrub your skin wherever you want tan with the mix in a circular motion.
Leave on for about 30-45 mins and wash off.
Keep doing this and you will see a difference. <3

Personally I used to tan in a bed and it left me too dark on my back and stomach so if your dress has cut outs you'll look strange! I use a self tanner from Victoria secrets and it leaves a natural tan that you get instantly and you can build it up in just days.

Ashlii, did the color from the coffee build or wash right off? I'm thinking of trying it!
