This made me laugh! Oh I expect the show will get axed now, unless someone comes up with an alternative. Get some strong tea on their faces, that’ll work! :+1:

A good generous brushing with Guinness will do the trick :wink::point_right::+1:

Should all else fail:

Can’t they use boot polish like the Black and White Minstrels?
A lighter shade obviously.

Another option. I believe it was popular in ww2. Or was that for fake stockings?

57 litres of fake tan a year?
That’s crazy. I’d get used to pasty white.

The whole thing is fake probably so the tan would have be too.

13

Oh no, they’ll have to stay pale and interesting.

Or improvise….they painted on strong tea for stockings in WW2 and then drew on a seam!

I’m one of the lucky people who do not burn and I’ve never used any kind of sun lotion. My wife on the other hand (a Swede with bleached looking white skin) burns at the first hint of any sun and has to slap it on like there’s no tomorrow.

I was a freckles child, so have always had to be careful…although I have suffered burns…stroppy child on Holiday once, go and lay down on the beach sulking and wake up overcooked…very red and very sore where’s the calomine lotion back then…
I found that as long as I shaded mostly I was ok…As long as I can remember I have used the fake tans…they do make you look better…feel better as well.
Two years ago I suddenly became very oversensitive to the suns rays, so much so the Winter with or with obvious sunshine I was getting red skin on my face…I purchased a good quality factor 50+ and wore that every single day…This last summer it stopped almost completely…So still use the 50+ on just the very bright hot days now…Fake tanning I continue with using that… :smiley:…
p.s. My Sister had an easy to tan skin…Blond[was]… blues eyes and no freckles…I am the opposite in just about every other way…we are both have a quick temper at times though… :zipper_mouth_face:
