Forever a fan of fake tan, I have wandered around these past few weeks with a gorgeous golden glow courtesy of Clarins. Nearing the end of the tube and having read a rave review of a different company's Fool Proof Airbrush Fake Tan, how could I resist?
"You spray it like this" demonstrated the rep at the beauty counter, "then you massage it in like this". It is guaranteed fool proof.
"Oh yeah?" .
After an hour in the bath preparing , exfoliating, and not with a loofa as they reputedly leave you streaky,I am now sporting the blotchiest , patchiest, streakiest fake tan since I first tried the stuff in my student days. I could have coped with an over cooked wag fake bake, or even a celebrity orange, but the fact that I have whole white areas and deep south American tan areas, and other areas of the most convincing bronze ..... looks like I have a skin disease, and a nasty one at that!!
Not to be out witted by an inanimate object I will try again.
I have scrubbed till my skin is raw and experience tells me that in a few days it will have faded or washed off, with a fresh canvas I will try using my own tried and tested methods. Why? because the product was very easy to wield, the can does indeed spray upside down, and parts of me are a fabulous (fake) natural looking tan, and being of the Nicole Kidman shade of English Rose, I do feel the need to boost my skin tone-without getting skin cancer...... but in the mean time if you see what looks suspiciously like a caucasian woman wearing a western equivalent of a burkha, then it is probably me. I can't run, but I can hide.
