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!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
