Red Carpet Rewind: Tanorexia

Stars Who Tan Too Much

By Elizabeth Snead, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

We've all seen the serious aftereffects of "tanorexia," the insidious addiction that's spreading all over Hollywood: carrot- colored hands and feet, a brown sludgy buildup on elbows and knees, and bright orange Oompa-Loompa faces.

All of that is the unfortunate result of too much time spent on a tanning bed or, more commonly, doing too many stand-up sessions in a spray tanning booth.

Some stars like Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston know how to limit their tan to a natural sun-kissed glow. But other stars - and we think you know who you are - need to start saying "No!" to the faux glow.
