Perfume vs. Fake Tan: The Patchy Scandal We Need to Talk About!

Alright, my tanned beauties — we need to talk. This is a scandal that’s been happening under our noses… literally. Let’s call it:

The Great Perfume & Tan Break-Up.

You see, every now and then someone messages me in full panic:

“Karina, WHY is my tan looking like I’ve been attacked by invisible blotches on my chest?”

And my detective brain goes: 🕵️‍♀️

“Do you wear perfume there?”

Cue the dramatic music. Dun dun dunnnn.

Let me break it down:

Perfume is basically a delicious-smelling bottle of alcohol with a fancy attitude. And alcohol, my friend, is the enemy of your gorgeous, even tan. It dries it out, eats it up, and spits it out in uneven, patchy misery.

So if you’re spraying your signature scent right on your freshly tanned décolletage, you’re basically saying:

“Hey glow, it’s been real — now disappear in blotchy style.”

Here’s how to stay bronzed and boujee:

✅ Spray perfume on your clothes, not your skin.

✅ Mist the air and walk through it like the goddess you are.

✅ Or go full diva and perfume your hairbrush — your glow will thank you.

Moral of the story?

Keep your tan where it belongs (even and fabulous), and let your perfume flirt from a distance. Don’t let your fragrance be the villain in your tanning love story.

Stay glowing (and patch-free),
