EPBCornell says:I feel for you, Pam. Growing up in Maine in the summer, outdoors constantly, Coppertone 4 was all I needed for an even golden tan. Now I go for the highest SPF I can get, else I burn and peel with little sun exposure. Pinks and reds are very pretty hues for beads, not so much for face and body. Those days of honey or bronze toned skin are well behind me. Cest la vie!

S KatollakaSue says:Bronzing is an idea that my skin doesn’t get, either, so I understand. I love the wide range of both bronzes and pinks/reds you included, as well as the sun! A fave!
