The secret of Donald Trump's tanned complexion revealed 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 keep (despite the freezing winter) this tanned complexion, worthy of a vacation in the tropics? After conducting the investigation, the New York Times finally has the beginning of an answer. 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".
This 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 have been circulating for many months. The American daily, which interviewed three people who worked at the White House, adds that "no UV cabin or self-tanning shower would exist within the grounds of the residence".
Shocking revelations
Yet last August, his former director of communications, Omarosa Manigault Newman revealed in his book Unhinged ("Unhinged") that the American president had installed a tanning booth at the White House and that he used it every mornings to keep a "good look all day long". A news that had created controversy across the Atlantic.
Omarosa Manigault Newman had also slipped in one of his chapters that the steward of the White House, Angella Reid, had been fired from her post because of an error in handling the machine. Even former FBI Director James Comey described the President's face in his memoir, Lies and Leadership, as "slightly orange, with bright half-moons under his eyes." Characteristic marks, explained James Comey, of "traces of UV protective glasses". These statements support those of former classmates of Donald Trump, who portrayed the US president as a big fan of UV.
"Orange Glow"
While the mystery continues to hover over what the American media now call the orange glow, Dr. Tina Alster, a famous dermatologist in Washington, puts forward another theory. According to his expertise, relayed by the New York Times, Donald Trump would not use capsules to accentuate his tan but creams or tanning sprays. Far from being insensitive to the comments, the president is said to have repeatedly complained to his advisers about his image during his televised speeches. Too yellow, too orange … From now on, the American president would favor appearances in natural light. Another explanation, Donald Trump would suffer from the effects of rosacea, which he indicated to be suffering from and which causes chronic redness on the whole face. To avoid its glow, we will opt for sunscreen products with an index of 50.
