Fake tan

[Momiji]

Have you ever had bad fake tan experiences? Do you regularly use fake tan? Or are you naturally tanned? What are your thoughts on it?

No.
No.
No, I burn extremely fast actually. I don't tan at all.
It's for people who aren't satisfied with the way they look, but who am I to judge? I'm fine with being pale.

Nope. I've never tried it. Naturally tanned. I associate it with dumb blonde girls.

being of irish descent I take offense to this thread

Fake tans look fake.

Southern California has too many fake ass orange chicks running around for me to think favorably of fake tans or even real tans.

Fake tans look fake.

The Universe has too many fake ass orange chicks running around for me to think favorably of fake tans or even real tans.

I agree with Miriel.

I agree as well. This is Hawai'i, yet I still see women walking around with obviously fake tans. I don't understand it.

Despite being 3/4 white, the 1/4 of me that is a mix of Native American and Jamaican is what shows, so I get to have a natural tan and not have pasty white skin. Which I'm glad for, sunburns look like they suck.

And yeah, I gotta agree about the thing about fake tans in SoCal (and Hawai'i I guess). I don't understand why they'd need it, it's not like the sun doesn't shine here.

I absolutely hate fake tan!! What is the sudden obsession women seem to have with fake tan.Well white girls anyway! Every chick you go out with these days, when you meet them first they are normal skin tone colour and they are beautiful then when you take them somewhere nice, you meet them and they are smurfing orange!!!

Don't women seem to get if I wanted a tanned skinned woman I'd be dating a Spanish girl or the like. But when I'm dating an Irish, American or British girl she should be the colour she was when I asked her out in the 1st place.

Also in agreement with Miriel.

I never understand it. When you live in Scotland, you should not have a tan. Especially in the middle of freaking Winter.

I think the usage of fake tan by girls to turn them into oompa loompas has raised the bar for tanning so much that it is impossible to be tanned naturally anymore.

not that I care or anything

I don't know why girls like to make themselves orange. If you apply fake tan properly (moisturising before hand, putting very little on extra dry areas such as knees/elbows), and not too much too often it doesn't look orange so I am at a loss as to why I see so many orange girls.

I tan easily, but living in England I don't get enough sun! I'm generally pale, except in the summer months - and if I go abroad to a hot country I come back very tanned! I don't really use fake tan, I've used body lotions with tanning agents in it and they're pretty good.

I'll just lie in the sun for my tans. I've used sunbeds before too, which I like - but they're so expensive!

I tan naturally. In winter if I'm wearing a skirt for a party or something I use a tiny bit of fake tan on my legs (they never see the light of day, they actually exude paleness) just so that they won't look out of whack with my arms, face and tummy. I don't look orange when I do it because I only use a minimal amount. I never put any on my knees, I've hear too many horror stories XD. Orange is hiraaaarious. I think - like pretty much every other cosmetic item - it's fine if it's used skilllfully.

Most people look stupid. If you can pull it off, fair enough. If you can't, just stop it.

[Randgris]

I don't know. I haven't encountered tanning products... Besides I'm already brown so, its a waste. I am planning on taking in glutathione, which would (supposedly) make your skin lighter...

[Raebus]

I can't stand girls who use fake tan.
