A teenage girl has been compared to a character from the movie Shrek after turning dark green following a major fake tan fail.
18-year-old Lilly Vigus is a student from Rochester, England, who went viral after accidentally turning into Fiona from Shrek during a moment of boredom amid lockdown.
As the teenager revealed, she and her friends decided to pamper themselves with some fake tan. And so, Lilly, who is fair-skinned, thought it would be fun to use an entire bottle of St. Moriz Instant Tanning Mousse to achieve a different look.
What the teen didn’t expect, however, was that the ‘Darker Than Dark’ fake tan would make her skin look dark green.
“People were calling me Fiona from Shrek because my ginger hair and green skin all matched with her,” Lilly said after the mishap.
“Because I am ginger my skin is very, very light. If I go out in the sun I just burn instantly. To get around this I fake tan. I don’t normally use a tan this dark but it was the only one left in the shop, so I decided to give it a go.
“We decided just to put some fake tan on. Apart from horses, fake tanning is the only thing I’m interested in.”
As the student admitted, she kept on adding more tan to her skin until she ended up using the entire bottle. On the following day, after realizing she had turned dark green overnight, Lilly attempted to wash off her fake tan only to realize that “the water just kept running green for ages.”
According to the girl, it took her several days before she finally managed to restore her looks to normal.
“Every time I washed for the next few days the water running off me was still green. My housemates were just shocked at how dark it had become and they all thought it was so funny,” Lilly added.
“I went to breakfast the next morning and everyone just stopped and stared at me when they saw me. I got laughed at a lot.”
