Though his post shows the "Now left SW" symbol, I reckon NewName summed it all up very well.
I've seen some naturist magazines in which this seems a common letters pages topic - along with the usual male problem - but those moaning about pale or semi-tanned bodies spoiling the decor are answered by fellow-naturists who don't care about extent of tan, except perhaps their own.
Why worry about uniformity of sun-tan? Is yours[i]that[/i] important to anyone else? If so, to whom and why?
If other people think it wrong that your are in two-tone rather than brown all over, that's their problem, as it's them looking at you in the changing-room or on the naturist beach. Unless you intend to show off anyway.
Away from the naturist resorts, I suspect most of the changing-room people who are tanned have pale nether regions (and for the women, breasts too), so why get het up about it? In such situations, I think you're more likely to be noticed and commented on, or about, if you have an all-over tint. Perhaps that's what you want - fine! If you don't, well, it's hardly a serious matter.
So put the paint-sample cards and RAL meters away and remember we are not items on an ISO9001-accredited production-line. We are individuals who enjoy being nude for our own pleasure according to our own needs, wishes and opportunities, not to meet others' imagined norms.
For me - I don't tan deeply but that's as much choice as nature; I'd rather a gentle tint than holiday-brochure brown, I value my skin too much to risk harm - and I am not so vain as to imagine others on the beach might be discreetly surveying my skin colour. If they do, and don't approve... their problem, not mine.
