    Default sunbed tanning and pigmentation

    when i use sunbed or even sunbathe normally i get this mental pigmentation. Its not all over - but it is at one ofthe most obvious parts of my body - my tummy. well a bit higher up than my tummy. and its like a big brown but lighter patch from just under my bra strap down to my belly button. then the rest of me goes golden golden brown, a shade or so darker. it really is starting to fuck me off - especially as i havent been on a sunbed for the last 8 weeks due to BA and its still friggin there.

    anyone had this and have any idea what can be done, if anything?

    try some skin bleach on it....other than that, i'd just stay out of the sun/beds (after my cancer scare..i HIGHLY recommend that!), and just use spray or lotion tans

    lol yea i meant mental as in crazy, weird.

    The patch is actually lighter already so bleaching would make it lighter. maybe i should get spray tans or go fake bake style. but everytime i use it i go so freakin streaky and everyone else i see that uses it looks so unaturally shimmery and weird all the time.

    bah....i wish i was naturally sunkissed

    Most people have it, just a dark spot here, dark spot there. No big deal, the skin creams do work well to lighten it.

    You will also always tan more on the belly etc because there is more blood flow there.

    Yeah..my shins and calves are way lighter..they dont tan NEARLY as much or as fast
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    It's the blood flow. The skin is thinner on calves etc.
