I wear fake tan but honestly I'm getting sick of wearing the self tan/cream ones
TBH it's becoming such effort to have to self tan every morning, and some days I will miss parts or apply too much etc etc

I just feel so much better whenever I get spray tans but I can't afford to get one EVERY week

I did have a job in a bar but with A Levels coming up and all my mocks and stuff I had to quit as it was too time consuming and I'm worried another job will be too time consuming aswell

FFS lad, step away from the mirror for a second! Your vanity seems like the only thing that's time consuming in your life. This is the third thread you've started on the subject!

Stop concentrating so much on your appearance - grooming, fake tanning, teeth whitening and the rest of the nonsense - and start revising! You sound incredibly high maintenance - whilst I realise that I now sound like my dad! 🙈

Seriously, you really wear BB cream....?

Men are soon going to become the self-absorbed, appearance orientated neurotics that women are. It is fine to look after your appearance but really?

Perhaps if you spent less time applying fake tan, BB cream etc every day, you'd have more time to spend studying or even working a few hours a week?

I've never had a spray tan myself, but surely if you had one every week you'd look as though you'd been tangoed?!

And nah not regularly
I only wear it if I'm having an awful skin period (Which have become less frequent)

You look the way you want to, and I'll look the way I want to
And I don't wear BB cream every day thanks

And I do study thanks very much

And no not really they fade quite quickly
Maybe getting one every week would be a bit extreme though

You get the general point of the message though... everybody seems to be telling you to worry less about how you look. There are far more important and enjoyable things in life than personal grooming. My personal idea of hell is applying tanning lotion after every bath / shower, because I inevitably spent ages trying to get it even and scrubbing off the patchy bits afterwards. I embrace my china white complexion and get on with life instead. Life is too short to spend exfoliating your knees.

Maybe I enjoy taking care of my appearance though?
I don't do it to feel superior to others and it's not as if I look down on those who don't make as much effort as me

I enjoy looking after myself and that's just the way I am
Personally I feel underwhelmed if I don't make all the effort I do
If others are happy being a little more low maintenance then that's fine, however I just prefer doing what I do

In this weather surely you'd only have to do your face and the backs of your hands.

Do a google search for fake bake club or similar where a salon offers unltd spray tans for x£ per month. I had one a while back and used to get one once a week and I'm telling you it wears off well before the next tan so u do not end up orange.

He asked for an opinion, I gave it. Last time I checked I have the right to do that.
Nobody needs a spray tan every week (unless you want to look like Morph)
But I'm not a member of the vain club, so what do I know about looking trendy? Perhaps the terracotta look is au courrant, it's perfectly normal to want to look like Rylan or whatever his name is, and I should just shut up and let you get on with grooming yourselves.

How much is a spray tan, and how much do you spend on self tan each week?
Good point. Do you need a spray tan every week? Surely it lasts around 10 to 14 days? If you add up how much you spend on self tan and compare to a spray tan you might be surprised. Have you signed up for Wowcher? Do they do reduced spray tans in your area?
If you want to look groomed that's up to you. Personally I don't think you need to be tanned in winter though. I would NOT recommend just doing your face and backs of hands like someone suggested. If you go to a particularly warm club / pub or meet someone you want to sleep with you'll look silly when you are down to a t-shirt....

Because having an all-over, mahogany tan in Britain, in January never looks silly does it?

Save up the money you'd spend in paint shops and buy a cheap plane ticket to somewhere hot. Voila!...real tan! (Obviously not recommended due to skin cancer, wrinkles, white bits etc etc)

Just having a read about these spray tans.... and it tells of how inhaling the mist can be harmful, and also harmful to the eyes.... now why doesnt it explain that the actual chemicals in the spray goes on the skin then is ingested into the body and bloodstream... why isnt this also being addressed...

I think the OP would probably curl up and die of embarrassment if someone was to save this thread and show it to him in twenty years' time

If the op is nice to his spanish exchange family they might invite him back over the summer holidays! Plenty of sun and tanning time.

That is a major concern. Am surprised a government health warning hasn't been slapped on those dodgy spray tans.

It actually is back in fashion, it's just a small minority that can't let their fake tans go!

Looool at everyone throwin abuse at the OP
Any1 who uses fake tan will know exactly what he is on about
Fake tan is the hardest thing to apply and the worst thing ever if you get it wrong
especially wiv blokes cos our skin isnt naturally as smooth as girls so the fake tan is more likely to go wrong

ive started doin exactly what the op suggested and im now gettin spray tans on a weekly basis
hav had enough wiv stupid bottle fake tans that will always make a mess
