Top 10 Tanning Disasters Fixed
Problem: My feet, knees and elbows are discolored
The Fix: Hydrate first
To avoid the dreaded "Orange Foot" spotted here on Victoria Beckham, take the necessary precautions - before applying self-tanner, massage moisturizer onto rough areas (like the knees, elbows and the feet and hands) and wipe off excess with a towel. The layer of hydration will prevent skin from absorbing too much tanner and looking dark.
Problem: My face is way too dark
The Fix: A bronzer instead of self-tanner
Your face should be lighter than your body, or else you risk looking unnatural and even older. Bronzing powders or tanners made just for the face will give you a subtle, youthful glow.

Problem: I can't reach my back
The Fix: Spray it on
Self-tanners in a spray form are ideal for hard-to-reach spots. As you get more practice, use sprays to shape thighs and stomach by concentrating color on problem areas.
Problem: Orange hands
The Fix: Laundry detergent
Mix a teaspoon of detergent granules with water to make a paste. Gently scrub palms and between fingers to erase color. To prevent future mishaps, wear latex gloves to apply self-tanner.
Problem: Splotchy Color
The Fix: Try mousse instead of lotion
Beginners will have more success with a mousse texture that glides on more evenly and is less prone to streaking.
Problem: I'm terrified of self-tanners
The Fix: Go slow
Build color slowly with new body moisturizers that you can use everyday. Apply to dry skin after showering in the AM, and see a touch of color by evening. Bonus: they're practically mistake proof.
Problem: I'm have darker skin, but I want a glow
The Fix: Go for shimmer
Use a spray or lotion with golden light-reflecting particles on legs and shoulders to add a radiant sexy glow to deeper skin tones.
Problem: My clothes are stained
The Fix: Plan to tan
If you want to show off sun-kissed skin in white clothes, apply product a day before you dress. A gentle shower after your tan emerges will get rid of extra color that may rub off. Also, most stains will come out in the wash.
Problem: My tanner makes me itch
The Fix: Rethink tanning
If you have sensitive skin, test any product in a small area to see if skin reacts before committing to color. Porcelain skin is beautiful too, and your health is not worth the risk of a fake bake.
Problem: I have tanner's regret, and want it off
The Fix: Head to the kitchen
After soaking in warm water to open your pores, rub a lemon on skin to release its acidic juice. Finish by gently scrubbing with sugar or baking soda, and rinse. And since the ingredients are natural, you won't harm your skin.

We're curious as to whether the troubled starlet first decided to venture into the business because she really saw an opening in the market, or because she wanted to get her hands on it wholesale. Because, we feel the need to point out that Lindsay has shown an inability to know when to say when regarding many substances, self-tanner included.
You know, for all of our snickering and snarking, we actually have little doubt that Sevin Nyne will be successful -- after all, Lindsay's leggings line, 6126, has been a surprising smash, selling out all over the place. We're sure pale ladies everywhere will be lining up to get sprayed -- in addition to DHA, the chemical-free spray includes caramel, Chardonnay extracts, gogi berry, and a sugar-coconut base. Sounds almost too yummy to miss, even if the color does just last four or five days.

Lindsey Lohan I thought she dies from aids, or a drug overdose or something. I'll be damned that skank is still alive?

Victoria is a skank hoe. If it wasn't for her fake boobs, she would be as flat as a board and as ugly as she already is
