cyclists tan

Mine is stupid. Seriously bad and very obvious. Rather annoying too as I'm set to be naked on stage in front of several hundred people next month and I can't see it having faded or evened out by then

Who's get a white strap mark on their face?

no but I have seen cycle helmet air vent hole tan marks, which left this poor girl with a set of oval blotches in a pattern across her forehead.

just got a set of hand mitt tan marks that stand out for my efforts so far this year, fortunately the rest can be hidden by appropriate clothing

At the beach my very PC friends said I looked like I'd spent time in auschwitz!

There are worse tan lines. This beauty of a bra strap line took me almost 3 years to tan out!

I've been sporting my tan lines since February. My arms and legs are very absorbent to UV it would seem even using factor 30 cream. A quick 20 minute spin into work sets them off on a cloudy day. On my gym days I wear sleeveless basketball tops and wear my tan sleeves with pride! People look or ask and I simply say I'm a cyclist. Going out on the weekend can be a pain though as my t-shirt sleeves are right on the mark and can sometimes slide up to reveal my regular light brown arms but at least I enjoy getting my tan and don't pay to achieve it like some under sunbeds.

Im one that tans pretty quickly - even to look at the sun and i start to tan.

I have had the tan lines since about March and they are coming along nicely.

I even managed to get some nice patterns on my back with the UV going through a lightweight white jersey.

The hand lines are slowly fading but the upper arm is coming along nicely. Im off to Mexico in November so looking forward to wearing it with pride !!!

Tan? What are these tan things you're all on about?

I just go bright red for a few days then back to milky white

Ask and you shall receive. Second degree sunburns that day. The skin behind my knees contracted so much that I was walking as if I'd been bummed for 2 weeks until I slipped on some ice and it tore the skin. 12 hours on the snow with no sunblock was a bad idea.

How I wish I hadnt!!!
