I was mortified after I went to the loo at work & had a fake tan disaster – luckily I quit but people are baffled
MANY people will know that when you fake tan, a mishap is inevitable at one point or another.
One woman revealed how she was left mortified after going to the loo at work after giving herself a bronzed glow.
While she may have a gorgeous glowing tan, Hayley Gordon wasn’t prepared for what she saw as she stood up after going to the toilet.
She uploaded a video showing how she had stained the toilet seat and left it with a bronze ring around the edge.
Hayley shared the clip to her @hayleygordon_ page and it has racked up over 30,000 likes from entertained internet users.
She wrote: “POV you’ve stained the toilet seat with fake tan.”
Thankfully she didn’t have to bear the “shame” for long, as she added in the caption: “Lucky I quit.”
Many people were amused by the fake tan fail – but there was one detail that baffled viewers.
One person wrote: “Wait do you sit all the way back on the toilet??? I only sit on the edge.”
Another added: “I can’t imagine sitting so far back.”
Some people chimed in with other thoughts about the incident.
A viewer commented: “Do y’all not put toilet paper on the seat ??”
A second said: “I’m a cleaner and I’ve always wondered what caused those stains.”
And a third shared: “Id simply quit and never return.”
Meanwhile, a woman who decided to fake tan her face before bed was left looking like a “toddler who’s eaten too much chocolate” when it went disastrously wrong.
How can I stop fake tan transferring to clothes?
Body artist and tan expert Amanda Harrington says: “If you skip exfoliation and have a layer of dry/dead skin which is then mixed with the tan, it will be more likely to rub off and transfer.
“Properly prepping your canvas really is the key here.
“You should always allow the product to dry fully prior to getting into bed or putting on your clothes.
“The weather makes a difference too as your body’s own moisture will impact the transference.
“A water-based tan should dry in no time.”
Courtney Rose posted on TikTok to explain the situation to her followers, as she showcased the results of the late-night tanning session.
“So I decided to put some tanner on my face last night before I went to sleep,” she began, with the camera pointed away from her before turning it to show her face.
“This is such a disaster.
“Like, I look like my toddler when he eats too much chocolate!”
Speaking of fake tan disasters, this woman wanted a natural looking spray tan, but things went horribly wrong.
