Fake Tan

[agnes]

So...in the name of fashion, you deliberately damage your skin all over in order to provoke a temporary defensive response by your body in a vain attempt to reduce the damage.

It's like sticking your hand in nettles because the resulting redness is deemed fashionable. Although that won't damage your skin as much.

I think you need to re read and understand the principle, not the justification lol.

I got burned really bad in greece once years ago, i've been fairly tanned ever since (i've been asked if i was mexican before) and i can lay in the scorching sun all day with no suncream and not burn.
I think i've broke my skin

My GF uses fake tan, wish she wouldnt though.

Just get your missus to look at Dita von Teese and try and deny that she isnt absolutely stunning, easily one of the most naturally beautiful women out there without the need for ****ty fake tan.

Back on topic, that Dove light tanning moisturising stuff is apparently pretty good, adds a light tan over time without making you look like an oompa loompa.

Indeed, a pale english rose is far more desirable than some fake tan tart.

Nail. Hit. Head. For me personally anyway. I really don't know why this fake tan orange/brown crap is a big deal.

The people I instantly associate in my head when I think of fake tan are exactly as above. Although I know a large spectrum of women must use it, only the bad ones get noticed. You know the ones; ridiculous amounts of makeup, look orange, sound foul, look foul and generally act foul. Slappers would be a good word.

My GF is very pale skinned as she is blonde hair and blue eyed. I have very pale skin and we aren't huge fans of the sun as we burn easy. I think she is gorgeous being naturally white and I think girls who don't apply all this "Beautification" crap are often the ones with the real beauty.

I like the fact that the ginger from Girls Allowed has boycotted fake tan now and goes out natural. As above also, Dita Von Tease - you would basically.

English Rose > Fake Tan Trollop.

Different looks suit different people. Dita Von Teese is absolutely gorgeous, but that doesn't preclude girls like Cheryl Cole from also looking hot.

You need an amazing complexion to look your best with pale skin, some people have that, some people don't.

Some people don't tan well, and also a lot of sun tanning now is become increasingly dangerous. Skin cancer has been drastically on the rise recently. Plus it could be she just doesn't have the time.

It's only because people sit thereall day and actaully want to burn so it turns into a tan later. They also get competitive with there mates with who can get the best tan.

There is nothing wrong with tanning in the sun if you have applied some san tan lotion.

Other than damaging your skin, accelerating the effects of aging and increasing your risk of skin cancer. You might consider that a reasonable cost for making your skin a more fashionable colour and therefore "nothing wrong".

Tanning is a defence mechanism triggered by over-exposure to ultraviolet radiation. A sun tan lotion doesn't stop that unless it's enough of a UV blocker to stop the damage, in which case you wouldn't tan.

Pale = Real Tan > Fake tan

You can't lick a girl that's got fake tan. it's nasty!!

Also some girls apply far to much and if you're wearing white you get fooked over..

Um, that's a joke right? Looks like the guy did this purposely as a sort of black face schtick.

tell her that if shes going to bother then do it properly. a good spray tan wont cost 'too' much and aslong as she doesnt go mental and keep going back then it will look natural.

but anyway with this sun weve been having why bother!

My ex always used St. Tropez. Tbf she use to apply it every weekend and she never went that orange colour that most tramps do.

look like he might be a body builder and recently been on stage. its normal for them to be very heavily tanned to be comparable to black men.

What is this 'too' you speak of

my girlfriend is quite pale and she isn't especially into make up either, sorry to sound like a berk but shouldn't you love them for who they are?
