Following that line of thinking we should all embrace our natural skin and don't cover it up by wearing clothes. Also, no makeup or any enhancers such as jewelry, etc.

Actually my skin is more moist in the summer when I can enjoy the natural sun!! It's the winter with the cold and heat that is more drying!!

If you are tanning from the "natural sun," you are damaging your skin. That's just a fact -- a tan is a sign of damage. It will lead only to premature aging, if you're lucky; if you're unlucky, you will develop some form of skin cancer.

If you want the color, then use a good-quality faux product.

A tan is the result of sun damage. Why emulate something that is unhealthy?

If one saw a little child with a tan, we'd assume the parents neglected to protect the child with sunscreen. Granted, faux tanning products are just cosmetics, but what's the message we're sending?

Because, according to QVC, it makes us look younger and thinner!

Like all the makeup I wear, I do it because I like it. I could embrace my lashes but I use Latisse and mascara and embrace them that way!

I will admit it has been a very long time since I've seen an orange tan in real life. I see it on television but that could be my television sceen and settings.

I wear makeup for a reason, I wear a bra for a reason, I style my hair for a reason and I self tan for a reason. Hopefully if we met in person, you'd find my tan to be a good color, evenly applied and making me look 10 lbs thinner!

handygal Thank you!

Fake tans for fake people. They certainly don't look 'healthy' to me.

So following your logic of fake tans=fake people, I guess any makeup,hair color, spanx, nail polish, teeth veneers,eyebrow waxing,etc = fake people also?

Birkin baby-- I don't think any of us is advocating going completely "au naturel." However, some people would rather keep their natural skin tone. It's just a matter of personal opinion....

consider the alternative and skin cancer, I embrace a light Tan Towel tan rather than frighten children and small animals with my ghostly pallor. My derm (a skin cancer specialist) carries the Tan Towel but I find HSN less expensive.

Hello, the 80's called and they want their fake bake back!! Fake tans and tans in general are so out of style

And I agree with you that it's a matter of personal opinion.It's also my opinion that fake tans do not equal fake people any more than any other enhancements . I think that's not a fair tag to hang on a person who chooses to tan.

I agree. I'm not the one who said that. Different strokes for different folks!

Wow lol. I like my faux tan because I hate pastey white skin. Different strokes!
