Why is Aveeno Continuous Radiance Moisturizing Lotion WHITE?

It has an adjustable dial for different shades...I thought that the lotion would come out the color you adjusted the dial to...but it's white. I thought it was like a tinted moisturizer sort of.
Is it supposed to be white?? IM CONFUSED! Help.

when you turn the dial you are adjusting the concentration on chemicals and extracts that stimulate you skin to look more tan....it doesn't dye your skin it helps it produce melanin

Let's assume you've already chosen the geographical area in Spain you want to live in. So what else should you think about? It's so easy to fall in love with a property and sign the dotted line before you've thought it through sufficiently. I strongly advise you to make yourself a check-list.
In addition to the usual stuff, ask yourself the following:

1. Do I really need to be near a beach, or is a pool sufficient?
The further inland you go, the cheaper the property. Even if you can't afford your own pool, most villages have a public one and many apartment blocks share a communal pool.

2. Old or new?
Older properties will be cheaper, but bear in mind how much money you will need to spend to make it into your dream home. Older properties will require more maintenance. New properties are usually covered by a 10 year insurance, but may lack the character you are looking for.

3. Are views important to me?
If you want a first-line sea view, you'll pay extra for it. If you want rolling mountain views, make sure your house is not too exposed or isolated. Winters in Spain can be surprisingly windy, cold and wet.

4. What direction does the house face?
Do you want to be able to sit in the sun? If so, check that your outside space faces south to fully enjoy those rays all year round.

5. Do I need handy shops?
In larger towns, this isn't a problem. However, if you move to a small village, be prepared to purchase from white vans bearing bread, fish, fruit and vegetables. These mobile shops often visit villages daily. Listen out for their hooting as they announce their arrival.

6. What about medical care?
Find out how close the nearest hospital is, and whether there is a doctor's surgery close by. In small villages, a doctor may visit once a week, or not at all.

7. Can I get broadband access here?
Many villages are too remote to enjoy broadband. (How I wish I'd thought of that!) However, as long as you have a telephone landline, you will get a dial-up internet connection. There are alternatives, like satellite, to acquire broadband, but they will be expensive.

8. How strong is the mobile phone signal?
In our village, we get a signal about 80% of the time. However, we only get a Movistar signal (Telefonica) and our visitors' mobile phones on other networks are useless.

9. Do I want to be in an all-Spanish community or close to other expats?
Choose carefully. If you want to enjoy an authentic Spanish life-style, don't choose an urbanisation that is obviously full of fellow expats. However, if you choose a tiny, remote village like we did, there may be no other foreign residents, and nobody will speak English. For most people, a balance is best.

10. And finally... try before you buy.
Consider renting a house in your chosen location first. Then you can take the time to find your perfect house. Not only will you become familiar with the area, but you'll be in a great bargaining position to buy your perfect home.
