Don’t Be a Fake Tan Disaster Like Jessica

Remember back in the day when you looked like THIS and didn’t look like an overly-browned asshole?

According to AskMen.com, you’ve dropped from the 12th most desirable woman to 21 – so basically it’s statistically proven that you’re looking not-so-hot with your faux-glow skin and mousy locks.

I get it…you’re with John Mayer now and Nick is with Vanessa but come on…you’ve looked like an asshole BEFORE so what happened to your sense of style and taste? Your boobs are popping out of your dress and the color of your skin is so fake that I’m sure if you sat down on a white chair, you would leave a mark.

For future reference, when applying self-tanner (especially if you’re quite pale) it’s best to mix in a moisturizing lotion to dilute the color until you know how dark it will turn on your skin.

Try Aveda’s Sun Source. This lightweight, moisturizing, self-tanner creates a natural-looking tan in two to three hours without harmful exposure to the sun. The vitamin-enriched, botanical formula spreads on smoothly to create even color and provides a safe alternative to sunbathing.

I’ve had good experiences mixing this self-tanner with my regular moisturizer and it’s ideal for face and body and perfect for all skin types. For best results, cleanse and exfoliate in the shower before you apply the self-tanner with a product like Dove Gentle Exfoliating Beauty Body Wash.

Apply a thin layer of Sun Source evenly over face and body, using sparingly around heels, knees and elbows. Once base coat has dried, add a second coat, smoothing and blending evenly to ensure an even distribution. To achieve the desired shade, use morning and evening; to maintain shade, apply one to three times weekly. Also be sure to avoid direct contact with clothing immediately after application (self-tanners DO stain) and wash your hands thoroughly after use or you WILL have extra-dark hands.
