Fake-Tanning

Yes, she is why I don't always think it's a good idea to fake tan. But, if your mind is set, go for it. Just be smart, please! And don't be a cheeto-ho.
  1. NO TANNING BEDS. I know that's like a challenge, but I wouldn't risk it. 
  2. Jergens is usually best, just the lotion from the drugstore is fine. But don't lie to yourself--it's stupid to pick out "Medium-Dark" tanning when you're white. I don't care how much you want to be black. You're not medium, don't pretend you are. 
  3. Alright, I hate to have to say this, but don't do it more than once a day. I know, sounds obvious, but just don't. 
  4. The obvious stuff here: Don't put it on your elbows or your knees. If you have oily skin, skip your face as well. If you do, it not only oils it up more, but brings out the acne more than acne did itself. 
  5. Wash your hands immediately after! Orange palms are a dead giveaway. Well, so is an orange face, so just....moderation, people. 
  6. Fake tan works best when you have a natural tan to base it off of.  As far as natural tans go, don't forget sunscreen--I'm not saying this because your mother is paying me, I'm dead serious. If you're a whitey mcgee like me, then no sunscreen means you will burn, but sunscreen will help you tan better. I could explain it, but then someone would try to explain why I am wrong. If I was really smart enough to know how thermal energy reacts to sunscreen, do you think I would be spending my time doing this? Also, if you need to tan and you are black: You don't need to. Everyone else is jealous. You're all good. In fact, you probably don't even need to fake tan. Why are you here? 
  7. Last and final tip for fake-tanning: We all know that bronze is best. Beautiful in bronze and a whore in orange. Jk. But if you overdo it, just take a break for a while. I promise that no one will judge you for looking less orange. Also, don't do this in the winter. Sometimes pale skin is nice to try, winter's a good time to find out if it's a better look for you. Have fun!!
