Faking it
The truth is, though it is undoubtedly possible that certain people are just permanently tanned, it is not exactly probable. So what do these people use?
Fake tan
No doubt you will already have heard of this and some of you might have even tried it but until recently, this had remained something of a danger zone to me. Scared off by the sight of women San Troped to within an inch of their lives and having seen many a friend succumb to using various products only to come out of it looking like piebald Oompa Loompas, I shied away, instead, from anything rising above the ankle, hiding away my pasty legs in shame.
This year, however, was different. Peer pressured into it by billboards and TV adverts showing skinny, bronzed goddesses resplendent in their micro swimwear, I finally took the plunge.I opted for Clarins’s latest product. The application was easy, scarily so: I was certain that since everything had gone so smoothly, there would be consequences. I waited in anticipation of the disaster that would come when, to my surprise, 15 minutes later a perfect, natural looking tan had developed.
Prone to burning myself fake tan is a much more preferable option.
With fake tan there is no pain, no lying in the sun hours on end attempting to get an even colour, no tan lines, and most importantly, no risk of skin cancer.
But hey, don’t just take my word for it, try it out and see for yourself.
Your basic fake tanning rules are simple: Exfoliate first, use a bit of body lotion before applying, and avoid feet and ankles altogether. Go for a paler shade, and build up if necessary. Once you've mastered the art - you'll never go back to having white thighs.
