Speaking of tans, I'd love to get me my own personal tanning bed so I could keep a decent tan all year. The thing is I'm Italian, but don't carry the dark olive complexion my father has. So I'm your fair-skinned Italian American. :p

During the summer, I've been going outside on our back deck and sitting out for between 30 and 45 minutes, and using a mixture of baby oil and tanning oil accelerants. I can usually get a good start of a tan within 2 or 3 sittings.

Tanning also helps dry up some of my achne as well. Since I started epilating, my stomach and chest have massively broken out in achne. It's ugly as hell. You'd think I was some leper or something, but I'm hoping that I can get some tanning going on pretty soon, to at least cover up the redness around the achne.

The problem with this achne is that everytime I take a shower, it just softens up whatever scab has formed since my last shower and it just sluffs off.

Acne is awful,I agree. Tanning is helpful, but then you increase your chances of developing something even worse down the road like squamous and basil cell carcinoma or the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma. Please be careful with the sun.

I just wanted to add my 0.2 US$ to this topic long ago...

After almost 3 years with shaved legs I've decided to take the next step in my life which is do not hide my shaved legs any more.

So far, I've managed to use short pants only in places where is politically correct (beaches, summing pools, spas, etc.)

However I decided to use short and show my legs off in places like shopping malls, supermarkets, and the outdoor places in general.... the feeling of freedom is amazing as nobody even notice them.

Pretty much the same with my shaved "jewelry" (down there) in saunas or Gym's changing room... I've gotten several disapproval reactions in the past, however now rather than hide myself I enjoy watching the face of some dudes completely shocked about my hairless style...

yep!

Oh I know. I don't do this tanning thing often. In fact, I've only gotten maybe 4 days worth this season so far, and again only 30-45 minutes at a time. And really, I can't take much more than 30 minutes. Because I can't sweat, I get over heated quickly.

But my chest achne is healing up as of late. I'm just doing my best to not pick the scabs off, but sometimes I just can't help myself. :p

my husband shaves his leg hairs once in a while because he's a diver (I don't know why but he told me so that he could put on his wet suit much easier) i suggested him that we should go to the dermatologist and have it waxed. he doesn't want to because its painful. so here's my question: what's the best way to remove hair without the pain?

shaving or Nair is the only way.

Personally, if the guy is smooth all over the body because of his cycling, swimmming, body building, it doesn't bother me. However, if it is partial, only legs and genitals, and has an itchy face and does not get a shower every day, it completely turns me off -to say the least. Looks very weird to me, and soon enough, the hard tips of the hairs are very unconfortable so, I prefer long, soft hairs on the body. I like hair in men, the more the better, except on their face.
