There are certain things you should never, ever do straight after getting a fake tan.
Like, fall asleep. Or go for a swim in the pool. Or have sex (unless your significant other is quite alright with getting a little residue tan all over them and the clean sheets).
Oh, and you also should definitely, definitely NOT go to the gym.
Unfortunately, a Twitter user from Scotland named Eve discovered this lesson the hard way.
After a long and sweaty workout session, Eve discovered this when she removed her leggings at the end of the day:
Yep, that’s a perfect imprint of an Adidas logo basically branded onto her leg.
It turns out leggings + fake tan + sweat = a walking, talking billboard.
LISTEN: On Mamamia Out Loud, Jessie tells Mia and Holly about the fake tan that has saved her life.
Eve’s tweet – which as already been shared almost 3,500 times – prompted responses from women who had found themselves in equally as mortifying fake tan situations.
Others had some useful tips for how to avoid the situation in future:
(Eve, we totally recommend this dress to solve all your future fake tan dilemmas.)
The best response of all came from Adidas themselves, who couldn’t resist giving Eve props for being such a “hardcore fan”.
Free workout gear for life? We think yes.

It could be worse. I've had a gym instructor sweat off their fake tan mid class so it's actually a little brown river running down her leg. That certainly gets a second look.
I know plenty of girls that will apply fake tan and sleep with it on or *cringe* go about their daily lives before washing it off. Just gross. Most fake tans smell like cat p@$s so why anyone would want their sheets to smell like it or go around with that scent on all day is beyond me and as this woman has found out you're not supposed to wear tight fitting clothing and then especially not do anything that would make you sweat. This is just plain common sense! If I fake tan (and it's very rare that I do) I either get a spray tan or go for a high quality bottle that can be rinsed off within a few hours. No smelly sheets, patchy tan or smelling like I have been rolling around in the kitty litter.
