Fake Tan

How do you get a fake Tan?
It`s not as easy as they say,
I`ve tried the creams, the mousse, the gel
I`ve even tried the spray.

They say you must exfoliate,
then fully moisturise,
pay attention to the knees
the elbows and the thighs.

So my skin is scrubbed and ready,
I start the smoothing in routine,
I sit back and wait four hours,
for the best tan ever seen.

Well time is up, but oh dear me,
there must be something Iv`e ignored
for all I see in the mirror now
Is a human checkers board.



ho hum.

I sat at a meeting looking like this too.......lol

What a catastrophe, how long did it take to wear off? Hehehe! I don't use anything at all, my arms and face seem to get a nice light tan quite naturally - but my legs - I think I need some wood stain on them!! Jackie <> <

LOL! I know what you mean. I tried those tanning lotions too. I turned orange!
I finally have given up and realized that my Irish/Scottish heritage makes it almost impossible for me to get a decent tan and I have resigned myself to be "fashionably" pale. ;) Silver

Calendula, very well written. Very humorous from my side of the table but I'll bet you were a bit disturbed. When will we ever learn that natural is better. (lol)
