"Fake Tan"

Thanks to those who go to bed at night calling themselves my "friends", who have backed out of going on a holiday, I don't think I'm going far this Summer.

But I refuse to go back to my popular college lifestyle a terribly pale person. I need to tan myself. However, being male, and not too consumed with vanity; I've never had to bother with a fake tan. So what methods do you recommend? Spray? Sunbed (I doubt will happen)? Piz Buin? Let's hear 'em...

..Fake tan makes me sick

For instance I am a red head - and with la red very pale skin automatically bites you up the ass... BUt thats the way I am - in the end of the day I will not result to hours of tiime massaging myself with crappy smelling liquids which will look as if they've run around the ankles and I have been tango'd!

NO!

Girls - be yourselves i say fake tan is un natural and ghastly (unless it is perfectly layered which is seldom the case)

But a boy going down this route - you will probably turn away the ladies like chad glides along un noticed in the night

And after just six minutes on the lowest settings you were already pretty brown? Sounds tempting, and doesn't even sound too dangerous.

You know, there was a wonderful girl in my life who goes on sunbeds atleast three times a week. She's always a healthy brown, but I don't know what setting she uses or what-have-you. Is what she doing safe?

Meanwhile, word reaches me that there are tablets that you can aquire from the local chemist that are said to tan you. Anyone heard of these?

No it's not. As long as you go on for the shortest time and lowest heat then you'll be fine. My first 10 or so sittings were like 6 minutes and I was fine!

I'll keep that in mind, Mystique. I would go on one, but I've heard it can be painful the first time you do so.

Meanwhile, Memorandum, what are your thoughts on the non-art of fake tan?

Higher than anyone who doesn't use it but I'm careful, I use the proper lotions, I only use the mid heat beds, and if I feel it's getting too hot then I get out. Simple as.
