1\\n "How to try not to look unkempt and fail miserably" a thread by yours truly:

I've tried self tanning 10+years ago. It was ok but nothing revolutionary. I do not want to overdo it and end up looking orange.
Weeks ago, my SIL started raving about a Dove self tanning lotion

2\\n so I've been thinking about buying a self tanning lotion. I have a very pale skin and with self isolation, I'm super pale. didn't want anything crazy as I don't want to have to change my foundation shade. Plus I do not plan to look like I've been eating nothing but carrots

3\\ so I get the damn lotion. I know how important it is to not have any dead skin on your body so I increased my weekly full body scrubs to two sessions. Super happy and smooth. And then I apply to damn thing. Light coverage, careful around the knuckles and ankles

4\\n the next day, I check my legs. I see a slight tint. Super happy.

And then I look at my arms. Madre de dios. I forgot you should NOT MOVE after application as the lotion tends to settle in the skin folds. I look like a tiger. Luckily I do not go out in public. I'm an idiot
