Soooo. I’m super pale. Blinding. It’s bad. And it’s unattractive. 🤢

I tried to tan some in preparation for this weekend but I just can’t tan. My skin just turns pink and it disappears.

I know a lot of people are gonna say FAKE TAN! And I used to all the time, up until about this past October. It just got to be too much maintenance for me to keep it up. I know how to fake tan. But in the summer when I show more skin, I always find imperfection when I’m out in the sun and I’m like ew. Someone is gonna see that patchy spot and think I’m gross lol. I’m so pale that it’s hard for fake tans not to look orange on me and look patchy. (And yes I exfoliate and moisturize before hand and make sure not to use anything with oil before the application, etc.) I promise I do everything correctly. Also, past experience, i haven’t had much luck with fake tan and being around water specifically on my feet because the combination of the sandals rubbing my wet skin on my feet rubs half of it off.

So, my question is... is there a good fake tan for pale people that just gives a LITTLE color? Just enough not to blind people. And how does everyone else who fake tans keep it up during the summer being around pools and lakes and rivers?
