I’m a redhead, which means that I have pale blue skin that burns if I so much as stand under a light bulb. No sun-tanning for me, then. Most of the time I quite like my pale skin, but when it comes to summer (or any occasion where I need to get my legs out), well, there’s no denying I look better with a bit of a tan. It makes my legs look thinner, my skin look healthier, my stomach look flatter – or it does when I get it right, anyway. Every summer, then, out comes the fake tan and I begin the process of trying to maintain that sun-kissed look. And every winter, back it goes into the cupboard, and I once again embrace my milky-white looks. I love having a little bit of a tan, but I hate the high-maintenance aspect of staying that way, and so a constant battle rages between me and my fake tan bottle. Gah.
Enough about me, though: what about you? Do you use fake tan religiously, or do you prefer the pale and interesting look? Cast your vote in the poll below (the results will become visible once you’ve voted).
I chose the “I was born with a tan” option
