Fake that tan
Aphrodite has already mentioned we're off to Spain shortly. I'd sort of forgotten about it, and when I remembered, and checked the weather, and realised it was going to be in the high twenties, I thought I should probably break out the fake tan. I actually don't really like the sun all that much, I don't enjoy sitting in it and I'm a bit smug about that because it means I won't have a decolletage like leather when I'm 45. But as a consequence, I've the body skin tone of a particularly pale vampire right now. Not so attractive.
I got myself some L'Oreal (because of course, I am worth it) Sublime Bronze Tanning Gloves (4 gloves to a pack, each glove apparently gives enough colour for one week) for about €11.99. Not bad for a whole month of tan. I got the gloves because I am crap at putting on fake tan, basically, and I thought that would make it a bit easier.

Anyway, onto the results - yes, it works! It doesn't stink, in fact it smells fairly pleasant, and the morning after I applied it, I could see very visible non-orange results. And I could also see the sharp contrast between all the bits I forgot to apply the tanner to. I now resemble someone with vitiligo - but that's my own lazy fault, not L'Oreal's.
Note to self: exfoliate properly next time.
