Sydney woman Sophie Haven has this week insisted on basking in the sun for several hours, despite having skin that freckles faster than a banana left in a kids schoolbag, medically known as ‘Fitzpatrick type 1.’
Having half heartedly protected her skin over the course of early twenties, Sophie has randomly decided it’s time to see if she can conjure up a tan again, mistakenly believing that if she baked enough, she’d surely end up with gorgeous bronzed skin – especially seeing as she’s one quarter Italian.
This new routine has seen Sophie routinely lying on Coogee Beach every weekend for hours on end and using a measly 15 plus sunscreen to ensure ‘some of the rays come through’, resulting in her skin technically getting darker, if redness counts.
Though no one should be deliberately tanning in a country that is considered the Melanoma capital of the world, Sophie’s bid to realise her Billabong surfer chick dreams are especially ambitious, and will likely result in her severely fucking up her skin.
More to come.
