I managed to give myself a farmer's sunburn today, which will quickly fade to tan lines which will prevent me from going strapless. They are truly hideous.

Other than exfoliating to within an inch of my life, anyone know some good tan line fading remedies?

Sunbath with the one affected area covered? Tan lines? Psh. I've been working on a trucker's tan this summer that is now considarably darker than my unaffected arm, from a distance. XD

Easy...the rest of the week, just do your yardwork in a strapless top (or swimsuit :)).

That'd still leave tan lines. The daring do their yard work nude.

The daring or those without neighbors close by. Still, she's probably okay as far as solving the problem about going strapless...

Cute, Mr. Toy. I live in a condo. No yards!

But seriously, has anyone ever successfully used a skin lightener like Dermologica?

Go to a tanning salon and take your sunblock/suntan accelerators. Use the sunblock on the part you don't want to tan, and the accelerators on the parts you do want.

Do it in increments so you can even out your tan, and so you don't get burned.

Be safe.
