I’m addicted to fake tan – I don’t care if it’s patchy & people say I look like tiger bread, it’s better than being pale
WE all love a bit of bronze to make ourselves feel more confident when the sun comes out.
But one woman has taken her love of fake tan to the extreme and revealed she is addicted to the stuff.
Beauty fan Lily Scannell took to TikTok to show off her fake tanned legs, but they aren’t what you might expect.
She shared a video of her fake tanned legs, but it’s safe to say that her fake tan isn’t fresh from the bottle.
Lily’s fake tan has gone very patchy and looks like what many fake tanners refer to as ‘tiger bread’ – where the tan is no longer fresh and instead is patchy and scaly.
The fake tan addict uploaded the video of her fake tan with the caption ‘rather be splotchy than pale!!!’.
