Strap marks

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I spent a few hours sitting in the garden just reading today , i was wearing a sundress and did'nt realise how i was catching the sun until i went in and showered before changing , now i have white strap marks :)
I could really do with getting rid of them by monday as i am going to a beach bbq with college mates , but if i spend a bit more time in the sun will they even out or will they still be obvious.
Any ideas welcome or do i just need to keep covered up on monday

    Oh i see, sorry i forgot about that.

    Hmmm you could try sitting out in the sun more to gt rid of them but may just have to cover up

    Um .... I'm not sure what these particular strap marks look like but could you say you were wearing a cooking apron over your bare top half while BBQ'ing in the hot sun at the weekend? :)

    Sorry i should have explained i know , to be honest i may just skip the bbq anyway , its really annoying as i only have a few days left until my new life can begin i really don't think i can be bothered with it all anymore.
    I think i will try to catch a little more sun but if they still show i guess there is not much i can do about it.
    I just wondered if the area woould tan evenly so quickly.
    Between you and me i am a litle bit pleased with them :yes:

    I think Rimmel (I can't remember who, but it exists) do a wash-off self tan. You could put it on just for the day and then you get to keep your strap marks :d

    hehe i am usually deathly pale so i get a bit excited if i get tan lines :)

    your tan will probably 'settle' a bit and look less bright by monday but you could try sitting back in the sun for a while with your straps down and see if it evens out a bit.

    sorry if it's a silly thing to say, but do you have any clothes that would cover them?

    It's just to hot to sit out in the sun today i will end up burnt , i think i will just have to wear a vest or something if i go.

    Good luck and i'm sure you'll look good whatever you wear :) do you friends at the BBQ know you are going as Louise? if so, the bra straps won't be an issue, if not- they could be a subtle introduction for them?

    I'd just wear a vest top or something if you're self-conscious. It's only for a couple more days but you shouldn't miss out on spending this time with the people who've been important in your life.
