I am fair skinned with a slight olive tone to it. My family are obsessed with having a tan, albeit a real one. They always go on and on about their stupid tans in the summer which annoys me greatly...what annoys me more is that for the last few years I have been using self tan regularly to get that 'perfect glow' the media and stupid others go on about all the time..so I can look acceptable and 'healthy'.
Well as of yesterday I am boycotting tanning. I am embracing my fair skin and aside from obviously getting the much important vitamin D into my system, that's where it stops. I feel like a bit of an idiot when women all around the world in India, Pakistan, China etc are desperate for white skin and are trying all means of ways to get it. I want to fully embrace it and be happy with it. Who's with me?
Anyone?
