Best Self Tanning Lotion
The Best Lotion – Self Tanning
Jeremy was the kind of guy who always wanted the best of
everything. He had to drive the fastest car, he had to
own the biggest house, he had to marry the prettiest
wife, and he even sought out the best butter for his
morning toast. If it wasn’t deemed “the best” by some
consumer group or a smattering of his peers, he wasn’t
interested in it. So, naturally, when he decided to try
out “self tanning” he wanted to find the best lotion.
Self tanning was something new to Jeremy. He’d always
wanted the best tan, but his pursuit of the best in
everything else life had to offer left him precious
little time to spend in a tanning salon or lying about
in the sun. There had to be a better way – and that
would be the best way, of course – for Jeremy to achieve
the best tan that he could.
So Jeremy heard about self tanning and started looking
for the best lotion. Self tanning is essentially a “fake
tan” achieved by using a self tanning or “sunless
tanning” lotion. Jeremy learned that all he had to do
was rub this stuff on his skin and he’d have the
appearance of the best possible tan in about an hour. It
may not really be the best tan because it wasn’t really
a tan at all, but as long as others thought it was the
best tan, that was all that mattered.
As Jeremy searched for the best lotion, self tanning of
course, he went through a bit of trial and error. The
first one he found was made by Coppertone and was called
QT – Quick Tan. Of course he knew that Coppertone had
been around for ages and he learned that QT was the
first ever self tanning lotion, introduced in about
1960.
He decided that if it was the first it must be the best.
He was wrong. QT turned his skin bright orange. He
looked like a walking pumpkin. He was afraid he’d have
to call out of work the next day (he had the best job,
after all), but found that QT washed off pretty easily.
He’d have to go to another brand to find the best self
tanning lotion.
Some may think that Jeremy’s search was in vain. How
would he know when he found the best lotion? Self
tanning lotions all do pretty much the same thing (with
the exception of the old QT – self tanning technology
has advanced quite a bit since then) and “the best” must
surely be a matter of opinion in many cases. That was
really the point, however, as far as Jeremy was
concerned. As long as he could deem it the best himself,
it wouldn’t matter what anyone else thought.
Happily, Jeremy did indeed find the best lotion. Self
tanning became something he would do every few days for
most of the rest of his life since he’d spent so much
time in his search. Which lotion did Jeremy deem the
best? I honestly don’t know. His search made him a
little bitter and cynical. Every time I asked him what
the best self tanning lotion was he’d tell me to go find
it myself.
