I really wouldn't do this. The important thing is to keep tanning down to a bare minimum. To let your skin burn is just crazy! You'll end up with skin cancers and unnecessary wrinkles. You'll look older than others of the same age because of this. So train yourself to start early and come in by 9:30 a.m. Go back out at 7 p.m. or so. I'm not kidding. Train yourself to use hats and high-spf (45 or higher) products with both UVA and UVB protection. Neutrogena has some very good products. I have one with skin lotion in it and one is a spray-on product. Take it from someone who has had 3 cancerous lesions removed from my face so far. Two of those were MOS surgeries, very time-consuming, often requiring the patient be there most of the day or two days in a row, not counting follow-up visits and walking around with bandages for a while. Just saying...that stuff won't do a darn thing to prevent severe damage to the skin and eventual skin cancers and wrinkles.

You would have to go to your allergy specialist and have them test you for each ingredient, I don't think anyone here would be able to diagnose or know if you are allergic to any specific ingredient. If you just want to try it, Clinique usually lets you sample any product.

It definitely does not have to be a spray. Mine is a spray simply because the cobalt blue bottle that I bought has a spray cap. It seems like most people apply it with a cotton pad. Since I can spray it I decided to use it on my whole body since it's easier to spray my legs, etc. than to use a cotton pad on them. I got the "recipe" from the MakeupAlley reviews linked to below. You may have to register to view, so here's the basics: 5% Serum-1/4 tsp Powder-4 & 3/4 tsp base 10% Serum-1/4 tsp Powder-21/4 tsp base 15% Serum-3/8 tsp Powder-2 1/8 tsp base 20% Serum-1/4 tsp Powder-1 tsp base Increase potency slowly (like every week or every other week). It will burn, but tough it out and it will be worth it! You can fan your face to help with the burn too. Also, dabbing rather than swiping helps prevent some of the burning. She is right about the burning. Before I found this recipe I mixed a batch way too strong. My neck and chin got very red and irritated.

I have been researching it~~I just started getting facials, just 2 so far. The gal and I were talking about the Vit C, she said yes it was great to use~but never mentioned what brand or when to put it on. One article I read said to use it during the day, that it works well with sunscreen, seems to help activate it?? I was telling her I do not want to have to put several things on my face, I have sensitive skin and want to be very careful what I use~~I did buy a tinted BB cream from her I really like so far (3days;) I really never realized my skin was so dry~~it is really feeling better with the BB cream. I am going to research the Jason's I have heard of it before~~'alisande' are you the one that has a blog??
