I think it is safe to say I’ve hd some tanning disasters. I grew up in Huntington Beach, CA where tanning was just a part of my life. We lived half a mile from the beach so I don’t think it is too shocking that you would find us at the beach in the sun. No spf in site. After some family cancer scares, my very fair mother getting very angry at me, & just general research I turned to self tanners.

Naturally, I am quite fair & fine with it through winter. My arms & back will tan a bit in warmer weather from the sunlight but other than that I’m pretty starkly white. My legs are so white that almost every self tanner looks bright orange for months! That is so not the spring look that is in fashion! There is also the smudging issue, discoloration, & then the time I had a self tanner that flaked off making me look like a reptile. All over my body. It was gross. & the week I had a girlfriends beach party. Oddly enough, turtlenecks weren’t acceptable attire!
