Tan Lines *sigh*

What a pain in the ass. I mean, it's one thing to have the hideous t-shirt tan line where you're darker past your elbo and pasty near your shoulders. And it's another thing to have a red neck or bikini straps tanned onto your shoulders...

But yesterday I fell asleep under the sun at Kits beach with my sunglasses on and now I have a slight raccoon tan. FUCK. How the HELL do you get rid of this!? Do you guys have any Tan Damage Control tips? =r

You can try a bit of self tanner to even yourself out. Make sure to test before an all over application though. :push:

You can also put on a higher SPF on the tanned areas and a lower one on the areas you want to tan when going out again.

^^^Real hardcore farmers work topless. [Make sure you hang on to those coordinates so you can prove yer worth next time Google updates their imagery.]

As for the raccoon eyes, get sunglasses for every occasion. Yes, including the club. It's all the rage nowadays, apparently.

i work for a mormon.
no smoking, swearing or drinking at work.
so i think riding topless would get his panties in a knot.
but i do spend half my time riding in the back 400 acres of BLM land so i sometimes wear a bikini. but i got heat stroke doing that a couple weeks ago.

ps google earth doesn't update any sooner than 6 months i think.

hahahahaha.. Ive never been cooneyed, but I had a hanus body burn last summer from Texada that left a line up half my leg and shoulder that I can still faintly see.

Heres what you gotta do. Cover your face with an entire bottle of SPF-50 and wipe off some sunglasses, then pass out on the beach again. Works every time.

Mormons get worked up at people who work with their shirts off in the sun?! That's strict man. And I thought Vegans were strict!..
