Can Henna be used: lightly to produce a nice tan color withoutr turning yellow or
orange?
Not really.
You are your parents. Deal with it. I am as pale as they get, and I
tried for decades to get tanned any sort of way (henna in a
bottle, Insti-tan, sunburns, suntan lotions ...every product on the
market) when I was a Los Angeles babe, and now my skin is quite
wrecked at age 50-something. Henna won't give you a faux tan. The
sun will turn you into an alligator. Learn to love your inner fish
belly. Some of us are just plain melanin challenged. My husband and
children are Afro-American, and they do just fine with the sun, but
I'm Scots/Irish/English ... and I sympathize.
Buy sunblock and live long. Get fitted for a set of fangs and wear
black clothing. Some of us were just NOT meant to go out in the
sunshine!
