What can I do about my stupid tan line?

[clary]

A week ago (I know!) I was outside all day in my running capris and got a ridiculous tan line just below my knees.

It's worse at the back cos I was standing up all day and the sun just beat on down on the tops of my calves. I had suncream on my face and neck but forgot about my legs. It looks daft when I wear anything above mid-calf :( I thought it might have gone by now but it's just as bad. My DC keep commenting in horror (thanks guys).

What can I do? And don't say sunbathe in shorts and DS2's footy socks

I feel your pain! The fronts of my legs are lovely and tanned, the backs are white after a day at a concert. I have put body lotion on the tanned bits and then fake tanned the back, blending the two on the 'line'. It's working well so far, I'm on day two

Put some gradual or fake tan on above the area you've burnt to blend it in.

False tan can help...I went on a hiking holiday a few years ago and got not only below the knee tan lines but boot and sock line above the ankle....looked a right numpty until I managed to tone it in a bit with fake tan tho the invisible socks look couldn't quite be hidden
