1. Your first experience of fake tan probably came from a bottle of Johnson's Holiday Skin or Garnier Summer Body.
2. And then, as you got older and fancier, you graduated to a bottle of St Tropez.
3. To avoid streakiness, you invested in a 99p tanning mitt from Superdrug.
4. If you ever tried tanning without a mitt, you spent hours scrubbing your hands afterwards in an effort to make them slightly less orange.
5. And it was always especially bad between your fingers.
6. You soon learnt that it's almost impossible to tan your legs without making them unbearably streaky.
7. And your wrists were always a problem area.

No matter how well you exfoliated before, and no matter how thoroughly you moisturised after, you always ended up with patchy wrists.
8. But nothing was as bad as that irritating little white blob that always formed behind your elbows and your knees.
Hate when this happens 😐 #faketanproblems
9. You never quite mastered the art of not having a massive white line at least somewhere on your body.
10. You were forever getting in trouble for staining your bed sheets.
Guess what side I sleep on #faketanprobs
Not to mention the fact that fake tan on bedsheets smells like a combination of digestive biscuits and wee.
11. And ruining all the nice towels.
this is why I shouldn't buy white towels! #FakeTanProblems 🙈🙈
No matter how many times your mum put them through the wash, they never looked the same after you smeared your tan over them.
12. At some point in your life, you've had to ask a sibling or friend to fake tan your back.
13. If you were a really serious tanner, you might have had a spray tan for a special occasion.
14. And the first time you had a shower after your spray tan, it looked like you'd killed someone in there.

Your parents were convinced you'd ruined their bathroom forever.
15. Of course, having a bath wasn't much better.
16. Any true tanner knows that you absolutely cannot cry immediately after tanning.
