How long does a goggle tan last???

[WildSkier21]

Hello,
I just got back from an epic ski trip from Jackson Hole and I realize I have this major obvious goggle tan. I have no idea how I got it but I need to get rid of this ASAP. Reason is I have prom (Im in HS) in 3 months and I can't have half my face dark and the other half light. How long should this tan last? Please help!

You should be ok in 3 months.

There is always make-up if all else fails.

You should get the tan darker and use it to attract a skier gf/bf/prom date who appreciates a nice end of season goggle tan.

Goggle tans are in around here. Mostly because it's so overcast most of the winter it must mean you've gone skiing elsewhere.

I would have killed to go to a prom with a goggle tan on my face.

Reverse the goggle tan by putting sunblock on the tanned part of your face and spending some time outside.

The same trick works for reversing a farmer's tan, not that a guy from Oklahoma would know anything about reversing a farmer's tan.

The duration and conspicuousness of the goggle tan is proportional to the importance of the following event., ie: wedding photos, returning to work after being "off sick" for a week

If you have to go to a tanning boot with your goggles on to make it as dark as you can. There's nothing hotter than a girl with a goggle tan in the winter!

It could be worse,... Showing up at work with a goggle tan after calling in sick???

I had forgotten about it but this thread reminded me that I actually did that once. I hadn't even noticed until someone in my office pointed it out.

Not. Long. Enough.

Forever

I remember my high school days when guys would try to disguise a goggle tan out of fear the coach would chew them out, or worse, kick them off the basketball or wrestling team, for participating in forbidden activities during those seasons.

If it doesn't fade in time, just go with it, i.e. raccoon patterned formal wear, black gloves.

Like Ken said....its forever. never goes away and in fact it becomes more dominant over time. In a couple weeks your going to look like a racoon and people will spot it even in the darkness of a movie theater.

No but really.....3 months away? you really got nothing at all to concern about.

Wish I had a goggle tan, maybe I'll wear sunglasses tomorrow in case the sun comes out. Still cold around here.

One of the worst sunburns I've ever had was after I cut my hair before memorial day weekend. We were painting white condos for 10 hours a day all weekend in a heat wave and the top of my ears were pealing off. Strange thing is it didn't hurt.
