Men.
Are you tired of being a pasty, translucent piece of garbage, but have thus far been too manly/afraid to use ~lady~ products?
Well your deeply weird prayers have been answered, for Australia finally has a fake tan for us, the dudes.
Melbourne company Bondi Sands has released the nation’s first fake man tan, a new aerosol foam called ‘Everyday Gradual Foam for Men,’ and honestly considering our epidemic levels of skin cancer it might not be such a terrible idea.
And to the company’s credit, they readily acknowledge how strange it appears to have a tan specifically designed for dudes. As Bondi Sands co-founder Blair James explains, the product is designed for dudes who might not appreciate the existing products:
“Many of my guy mates were already using our Gradual Tanning Milk and they were asking for a product that did not leave a sheen on the skin, dried faster and did not have such a sweet fragrance.”“We didn’t create the product because men can’t use any of the other products in our range, we simply believed that those guys who already tanned or wanted to start tanning would enjoy a product more tailored towards men’s preferences.”
So taking those horrific cancer stats into into account, which say that two in three Aussies will get skin cancer before the age of 70, plus my flat-out hatred of the terrifying, confusing outside world, this is probably actually a fine product.
Even if it’s still a little bizzare that, once again, men are getting an existing product repackaged to fulfil some arbitrary idea of masculinity.
