Any other fake tan refusers?

This is my third year running without fake tan and life is so much less stressful! I used to spend so much time worrying about streaks and patches, exfoliating, applying evenly etc etc. I just can't be bothered now Smile

I'm quite pale but arms seem to pick up the first blink of sun and turn lightly golden. Legs are pretty white but again, can't really be bothered to do anything about it. Minimum factor 15 on all exposed parts, factor 30 if out for long periods in the sun. Factor 50 on face - makes me look like Casper the ghost so add BB cream on top and I think that makes me look human Smile
Any other refuseniks?

ive always hated fake tan too thought it was pointless and wouldnt ever use it but now ive developed varicose veins and stretchmarks im willing to give it a try, you dont know why others feel the need to use it either sometimes going bare isnt really an option

I've had two professional spray tans done, both went patchy within a day, even though I'd exfoliated and moisturised for the week leading up to it. My skin is dry anyway and doesn't take fake tan evenly.

I avoid the sun on my face, but do a very gentle tan on my arms and legs. It's easier to fake it on the face with a bit of well placed bronzer.

But yes, pale is better than orange any time of year.
