There was this lady who started going to the tanning salon across the street from my place. In 4-5 months her skin had turned from pale white into tanned leather. It was shocking watching this happen.

Yeah very similar story. A friend of my wife's started tanning and now she looks like an old bag of brown leather. Too much is never enough for her.

Isn’t that precisely the expected outcome of going to a tanning salon?

Shockingly unnatural, I assume, not shocking scientifically.
