The secret of Donald Trump's tanned complexion unveiled by the White House
The White House put an end to rumors about Donald Trump's famous orange tan on February 2.
The question obsesses the whole world: how does Donald Trump manage to maintain (despite the freezing winter) that tanned complexion, worthy of a vacation in the tropics? After conducting the investigation, The New York Times finally has the beginnings of a response. According to the confidences of a senior administration official who preferred to remain anonymous, the orange complexion of the American president is simply due to his "good genes".
The same source also specifies that before each of his televised speeches, Donald Trump only uses a little translucent mattifying powder. The presidential complexion would therefore not be the result of long hours spent in a UV cabin or a self-tanner. Enough to silence the rumors that had been circulating for many months. The American daily, which interviewed three people who worked at the White House, added that "no UV booth or self-tanning shower would exist within the grounds of the residence".
Shattering revelations
Yet last August, his former director of communications, Omarosa Manigault Newman, revealed in his book Unhinged ("Demented") that the American president had installed a tanning booth in the White House and that he used it every day. mornings to keep a “healthy glow all day long”. A news that had created controversy across the Atlantic.
Omarosa Manigault Newman had also slipped into one of his chapters that White House Quartermaster Angella Reid was fired from her post because of an error in handling the machine. Even former FBI Director James Comey described in his memoir, Lies and Leadership, the president's face as "slightly orangey, with half-moons gleaming beneath his eyes." Characteristic marks, explained James Comey, of "traces of UV protection glasses". These statements support those of former Donald Trump classmates, who portrayed the US president as a huge UV fan.
"Orange glow"
While the mystery continues to hang over what the American media are now calling orange glow, Dr. Tina Alster, a famous dermatologist in Washington, is advancing another theory. According to his expertise, relayed by the New York Times, Donald Trump would not use capsules to accentuate his tan, but tan creams or sprays. Far from being indifferent to the comments, the president is said to have complained repeatedly to his advisers about his image during his televised addresses. Too yellow, too orange ... From now on, the American president would favor appearances in natural light. Another explanation is that Donald Trump is suffering from the effects of rosacea, which he said he has and which causes chronic redness all over his face. To avoid its glow, we will opt on our side for sun products with index 50.
