I'm fair skinned and I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks. I don't want to look like a milk bottle on the beach so I'm biting the metrosexual bullet and thinking of getting myself some fake tan. I've heard that johnsons do a good one that just gives a gentle tan. Can anybody give me some tips on this kind of thing?

I dont like the Johnson one but the dove one is brilliant, I am using it at the moment and if you use it daily up until you go on hols it will give you a great colour albeit they have added little sparkly bits in it (not that noticeable) so not sure if your metrosexualness will stretch that far..


One tip - ALWAYS ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER APPLICATION - or you end up with funny coloured hands and its a dead give away...


Good luck!


p.s. or if all else fails book in for a st tropez and ask for a light tan

you're going on holiday and you will be sunbathing right? hence your worry about looking like a lobster? Wouldn't you be better off having a few light sunbeds to start your colouring.... then sit in the sun with a bit more colour and then less risk of burning? just an idea ......


I'm expecting to get shot down by those that are knowledgeable ...

My 2p worth


Sundbeds are a quick way to give yourself cancer and if you are lily white you run a high risk of burning.. I would absolutely get a fake tan rather than sunbed, expose yourself normally (and I dont mean 'expose yourself') to the sun the next couple of weekends and you will be fine.


Fake Tan now and then sunbathe with sunscreen - less cancer and minimal burn..


Oh and Charlie - dont let those naughty boys bully you - skin cancer and sunbeds are sooooooooo out and fake tans and healthy longer living people are in! You are making the right choice.. B)

Quite so, a couple more things:


- if you are new to fake tan, you might not realise that it doesn't offer any sun protection (in the way that a real tan does) so you still need the same high factor as if you were milk bottle white


- i find St Tropez can be a bit full on for really pale people - don't know how pale you are but I heartily recommend Clarins if you're fair


- i really would pay someone else to do it. It's tricky to do your own back (all well and good if you have someone to do it for you, but do you really trust them not to give you streaks?)


Embrace your metrosexuality and ignore the naysayers - you'll be looking gorgeous and lithe

Charlie Chuckles - get yourself down to Beauty Plus on Forest Hill Rd. Ask them for their Naturasun spray tan. It comes in a range of shades and they spray it on you with a gun. It's brilliant and does not streak. If you don't want a salon experience, then get yourself some St Tropez - prob the only one that does not streak or look orange. Remember to exfoliate and then moisturise first though!


Good luck!

    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.
