Fake tan? Really? Healthiest way for you to get some color.

I know fake tan doesn’t really sound like a good idea, and believe me I have had a really bad situation with it. Although it wasn’t a self tan, I actually went to a place to get a spray tan. I’ll tell you this story so it doesn’t happen to you. I was with my mom and we were going to the beach with my family, my mom asked me if I wanted to go get a spray tan. Guess my response… I said yes ofc why not. I imagined myself coming out looking like a golden goddess ready to just go relax and sip some tequila. But that was a dream not a reality. I went to the place, got COMPLETELY naked and stood there like a fool getting a tan. I didn’t know I had to cover my face if I didn’t want to turn out looking ORANGE. Well I did one round and I was like I can go darker. Did a round two and with the light I was like omg I look so good. Babe, I put my clothes back on and go outside, I died. I had a camel colored dress and I swear I had never ever looked so bad. It was SO BAD, like I just never imagined it going that way.

I had done some self tans previously and the results were so good and natural. I did them during quarantine because I was bored and my mom and I didn’t have anything else to do haha. Well going back to the story I ft my best friend and my boyfriend and well they were too stunned to speak. They were speechless of how BAD I looked an simply couldn’t stop laughing. I wasn’t dark babe, I was fckn orange. So, I had to suck it up and live with it for the next two weeks. I get to the beach and IMMEDIATELY shower and start scrubbing it to at least bring the color down. It made it worse, I was all patchy. I looked so bad babes like you have no idea. But anyways I learned my lesson to either tan in the sun or self tan at home with products ive used and love.

Two things to take from this:

  1. If you are spray tanning make sure you cover your face if you are doing a second or third round. Or simply just don’t do it in your face.
  2. Either self tan or stick to the sun.

Safe to use self tanner
