You feel the sun on your skin, turn around again, because the other side also wants vitamin D. You see how much color you have already captured and wonder:why do people look slimmer when they are tanned?
Come on, with a few exceptions, almost no one minds looking a little slimmer. Especially not in the summer, when we find the prying eyes of fellow beachgoers on us while we're wearing very little fabric. You have probably heard that people usually look slimmer when they are tanned and you may also see this in yourself when you stand in front of the mirror admiring your colored skin. But how come exactly?

As much as possible, you can look slimmer with tanned skin. It is the outcome of a British study that was done on it. Women who are tanned often feel more confident with a tan and that is immediately part of the explanation. If you are comfortable in your own skin, with your shoulders upright and chest out, you will automatically look less 'lumpy'. Give it a try, we'd say!
Brown skin also has the effect of concealment. Pits, stretch marks, edges and cellulite are less noticeable than with white skin and that makes your body look slimmer as a whole. There are even women who apply extra shadows for the real optical illusion work, but that's another story.
