Have you checked out the Beauty Review Forum lately? It’s a great space, filled with interesting beauty conversations (and some non-beauty topics) about all sorts of things, from skincare for different skin types to beauty hauls to product panning challenges. One topic that comes up on a regular basis is tanning and it brings up lots of interesting questions and along with that different points of view.
During these conversations we often see people falling into one of two camps, those who fake tan, and those who choose to stick to the skin colour they were born with no matter the season. Reasons behind the choices are interesting. Some are comfortable in their skin and see no reason to tan, others like to tan because it makes them feel like they look better, others don’t fake tan because they can’t get it right (count me in on that!). And of course there are those who prefer to tan naturally - and you won’t find any naughty finger wagging from me because I fell into that category for years and years (although I’m reaping the ‘rewards’ now).
With summer in full flight (sort of, depending on what part of the country you live in) it’s high season for tanning. So it got us wondering, what do you prefer to do? Do you refuse to get your pins out until they’ve had a good going over with your favourite bottle of self-tanning lotion? And which brand do you use? Or do you prefer to keep your limbs tan-free and sun-free? In which case how do you manage it in our sunny climes? Or are you a sun worshipper (and if you want a reason to quit let me tell you about my never-ending facial scab that has the potential to go cancerous to help put you off…) Chat away!
I love to have a nice tan in summer. My skin is naturally very pale, so I do need some help from fake tan. Although for quite some time i haven't applied any, I never look forward to it as it's quite time consuming lol.
