Quick Q:

James Morin , junior

I was convinced by one of my friends to try tanning because he thought it would make us look better, and you know, I forgot about the fact that sunscreen and water don’t really go well. So, I got obliterated by the sun, and I couldn’t sit down properly and looked a little like the Red Lobster logo. It was a vibe at the time, and I definitely had to use a lot of aloe. It definitely wasn’t one of the greatest experiences ever.

My routine is on a Thursday or Sunday, I would reapply my tan to let it marinate and wash it off. And it’s really good because it lasts about a week, but I really like doing it because it makes me feel really confident. It’s taken me so long to get used to doing it, because being pale makes me super insecure, but after a while I got the hang of it and now it’s  like this super simple and easy thing to make myself feel better.

I fake tanned once over the summer before I went on a tropical vacation because I was bored. I used Isle of Paradise tanning drops on my arms and legs and overall it turned out fine. But, it didn’t really look good on me, so I wouldn’t do it again. But by no means do I judge people if they choose to use fake tanner.

I used fake tanner when I was a freshman and for a bit of my sophomore year. I thought that it was like a lot of work to apply it to myself, as there was a strict routine you had to follow for like two days in order to make it look authentic. I found that it wasn’t worth it, so I eventually stopped. The issue with fake tan is that once you get used to yourself looking tan you don’t want to go back, and it becomes very expensive and time consuming.
