Just in time for the wrap up of the summer holiday season, we have the common names for the types of tan and skin conditions we see.

Oompa loompa: bright orange skin from a bad spray tan. Totally unnatural in colour.

Tequila sunrise: oompa loompa with a sunburn

Jar jar binks: sunburn on your back and shoulders but not your front

Sheeting: big pieces of burnt skin peeling off.

Skin fail: huge areas of skin that has just started to peel and come off leaving little gaps and a trail of dead skin over their clothes. The fallen bits are sometimes called ‘skin dandruff’.

Deep fried: sunburn so bad it leaves welts and boils, as well as scarring on the skin.
