Has anyone tried reapplying the same shade on the day after coloring in order to blend missed spots? Should I wait a week & live with zebra stripes?

if you use the healthy look formula with no peroxide and just apply as a touch up, you should be just fine!! i still did the overall 5 min dose at the end to blend with no problems.

Since this a natural coloring agent, I wouldn't think there would be any reason why you couldn't reapply in a day or two after coloring. I've been using this for years because I am allergic to regular hair color and some tips I use are: I apply heat to my plastic bag with my dryer every 15 min. or so and leave my color on for a good hour. Rinse only, don't shampoo for 24 hours after coloring. Good Luck!

Interesting. I definitely use it as the base coat. I don't think it will cover the color so you should not have to reapply. However guess you will have to experiment or contact OPI for more explicit information.

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

Yes! I would recommend this shade! I had the same problem & skintone and I am lucky that I choose SX5! Any colour-adaptations can then easily be made with your powder

Hi,I am not too sure of your skin type, but I would start with just doing a sample patch first, leaving it one the least amount of time as suggested on the box. If you don't suffer any problems, then you can work your way up to using it once a week. I would do mine at night to allow for any redness to subside by morning. Also remember to check against the other beauty products in your regime. Some of the different acids should not be mixed or they could severely irritate your skin. Please do your homework before using with retinols and other acidic products! Good luck:)

I'm the same way. It definitely blurs them and makes them less "oh snap, you've got adorable freckles!" than I enjoyed, but it didn't cover them entirely. I don't mean to plug another product here, but after years and years I just ended up using the Bare Escentuals (sp?) mineral veil with SPF 30 mixed with the original foundation. The mixing is important: it takes away the thickness of the foundation but is still weirdly sheer, so it evens my complexion without covering up my freckles. Took a couple of tries to get the ratios right, but hand to God, it's perfect.

I have. Best result apply and let dry overnight almost like crumbles the next day. Wipe away with a damp cloth. This is the only thing, and I've tried everything, that has made mine white again. I used in my kitchen too!

I did try it for just that reason and found success as long as I went right behind with a soft cloth a blended. Small pinpoint areas are fine but broad strokes look like bad coloring.

It claims to minimize these skin discolorations, which I am trying to do right now by applying to the patch every morning. Since I have just begun the focused treatment I cannot say whether it is successful, but certainly worth a try. It has helped my skin in other ways, so I am hopeful. Will follow-up after a month or so.

I didn't like this product at all, it requires way to much time and the results are not at all visible. I,ve found that the Garnier Dark Spot Corrector used with the Dark Spot Overnight Peel works wonders. Good Luck! =)

I think it works well on kids AND adults. My whole family has pretty much maintained our pale skin colors all summer! Just make sure you reapply as directed. The one time we got a little pinkness on our cheeks was when I lost track of time and reapplied much later than I should have.

It's about the same as applying the original several days in a row. Not a huge difference.....I'd recommend either, unless you're really pale.

I reapply one time and then I usually exfoliate and start over. My skin starts to look streaky as my skin goes through natural exfoliation. There are several really good youTube videos on how to apply and maintain your tan.

What I usually have happen is a few days later.. Some flaking and dryer skin, it will lighten any brown spots from the sun also. That is a slow change but it does work. Some people sound like they will do it several days in a row. I usually do it for up to about 6 min and then wait several days. If it's your first time, I would wait and see how your skin does in a few days. Does that help?

How ironic..I literally applied this just last night. You can see the color change right when you put it on..it gives you a glow. But if you do it in the evening, you will see it definitely the next morning
