One of the worst thing I have ever done was go to the tanning booths prior to my wedding in Jamaica in 2006. I did it again in 2007 prior to our vacation to Cuba. While I love my pale complexion I can’t extend the same adoration to my pasty white body. When you are a little less than trim and toned white just looks… well you know. I find deeper skin provides some amount of camouflage to our flaws. Unfortunately those two years of tanning probably aged me at least 5 years. Couple that with my tanning in the natural sun at the cottage those summers, since my tanning bed toughened skin allowed me to actually spend some time in the sun without turning into a lobster, and I did quite the amount of sun damage to my skin that I can never take back. I wish I had have simply turned to self tanning products to give my pale skin the bit of healthy glow that would have made me feel more comfortable on the beach. I mean just look at my wedding picture? Who is that?! Not to mention my terrible lack of eyebrows!
Self tanning products come with their own set of concerns though. I have always worried about looking orange and unnatural as most self tanners just don’t achieve a natural colour on very fair skin. Heck even natural tanning makes me look orange! Just look at my mistakes forever immortalized in my wedding pictures. Then, of course, there is the issue of the smell. Not a pleasant experience. Well I am pleased to submit myself as a guinea pig for the benefit of all the pale gals out there and test out these self tanning products from Jergens over the next few months.
