Proper Brown

The act of achieving the perfect golden-brown tan, usually during a hot summer day or after spending time sunbathing on a beach vacation. This glorious hue showcases healthy, glowing skin that appears both natural and well-maintained. Having a "Proper Brown" is often a point of pride for those who successfully achieve it.

After spending a week on a tropical getaway, Karen came back sporting a Proper Brown, making all her coworkers jealous of her sun-kissed glow.

"Wow, Sarah, you've achieved a Proper Brown after spending all day at the beach!"
"Thanks, I feel so bronzed and fabulous!"
