We all know how popular Donald Trump’s ‘orange’ tan face is and how it’s not his real complexion. Apart from winning the Nobel Peace Prize, he has also been obsessed with the tan glow that goes with his two-toned blonde hair. Even his hair is bleached into different shades of blonde at times.
Since he golfs a lot, one would think the tan may be natural and look sun-kissed, but he always ends up looking blotchy and orangish.
When he’s spotted without his usual makeup and attire, we get to see how pale he is, almost as pale as his bleached hair. On the other hand, he looks more orange when giving speeches and addressing the public. In some photos, he also looks rosy when the tan is off.
Many believe that he usually spends time in tanning beds despite them being harmful to the skin. Apart from this, he also uses bronzer and self-tanner before public appearances. There are so many products available to reach a natural tan; however, he may not be aware of them. This is why his tan ends up looking like a disaster.
Another reason for his tan disaster is his under eye bags. He’s turning 79 soon, and his eyes show aging. It’s not just his slowed down brain due to old age but also his skin that does not carry faux-tan now.

His undereye bags and bright bleached hair were very noticeable as he sat down at the Oval Office. The patchiness of the skin and aging signs really make me aware that his tan glows unnaturally. Many people believe that he spends a lot of time on his looks, proving vanity can also impact the US president. Maybe he borrows Melania’s bronzer or even her makeup artist for touchups.
Moreover, when using tanning beds, eye protection is important. So maybe he wore huge goggles or patches to avoid eye damage, which resulted in discoloration and patchy tan. His eye bags are already too big, and any UV damage will only make them worse.

He may avoid the pale area around the eyes by applying some dark concealer or self-tanner instead of showing up with a bad tan and hair at the Oval Office. The pale circle around his eyes does match his bleached hair but isn’t doing anything for his fake tan.

Maybe next time, Trump will spend some more time or choose better products to achieve that sun-kissed tan. It could have been that this time, he was in a hurry or missed a few products to seal in that tan. For everyone keeping a score of his worst hair and tan days, many believe this look will make it into the top 3 for sure.
