Every year (or two) that time of comes when you can't wait to go on holiday away from the good old Scotish weather so you can come back with a golden tan that makes everyone envious!
Whether you come back a 'bronzed beauty' or 'golden goddess' as me and my girlie put it on our most recent holiday, what really is the point?! After missing the sun the first 2 days of our holiday due to 2 crazy nights out which resulted in epic hangovers we finally made it out to get our tan on. After spending the whooolleeee day out in the sun cleverly thinking a combination of SPF 15 and factor 6 oil would be fine (as you do!) in the 35o sunshine both of us had achieved rewardable tan lines.
The majority of the rest of the holiday however we both suffered luckily mild cases of tight skin and hot flushes from our new 'tans', myself more so than my girl. Despite this of course, your still on holiday in the sun and you want to top your tan up at every available moment, so you bear it just to get that little bit darker hoping that the aftersun will work its magic so you can continue the following day.
Then on returning home you know the inevitable is looming so you start applying numerous layers of moisturriser trying to avoid it. And then.....you start to peel! sigh! After a few weeks of peeling and being back in sunny Scotland applying ridiculous amounts of moisturiser (jumping around in ridiculous positions trying to reach your back) and perhaps even sneaking a cheeky sunbed to try and keep your tan, your back to looking like youve never been away! Why do we do it??? Its like having the worst hangover and saying your never going to drink again! Owell bring on next year.
