Hey, There Goes An Orange! (Fake Tans Are So Not Cool):

Finally there’s someone speaking up about the over-tanned body craze that has hit the world lately. Just about everybody and their grandmother has been sporting the ridiculous baked-orange ‘glow’ that, in my opinion, looks simply hideous.

A natural suntan is something and an over-done suntan (Donatella Versace) or an artificial one (Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Pamela Anderson) is quite another thing altogether. There are people who prefer a tanned look through a sunbed rather than the natural vitamin D that can be soaked in from the sun.

According to research, sunbeds can be real harmful for the skin and are even known to cause skin cancer. Some affected cases have permanently damage skin with blemishes and blotchy spots.

Cosmetic surgery procedures like laser treatments can remedy blemishes and spots caused by excess tanning, but they cannot be expected to be of much help. Your safest bet would be to use a tanning spray, lotion or bronzer, sparingly may I add.

It would be nice to see a tanned person who doesn’t make the eyes hurt for a change. For more plastic surgery help, visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.
