LONDON — A woman has complained to Boots UK after some St. Tropez dark tanning lotion apparently turned her skin green.

Kirsty Reeves, from Essex, UK, took to Facebook last week to explain how the lotion, purchased at Boots, left a green tint on her skin and then "burned and blistered" her after she tried to remove the color.

Here's Reeves' story in full.

Reeves told the Colchester Gazette that no one is taking responsibility for what happened to her.

"The manufacturer said when you put the product with oxygen it changes colour," she said. "They said more than likely what’s happened is it hasn’t been stored properly. Boots keeps saying it can’t do anything because it is the product and offered me a £15 voucher."

A Boots spokesperson, meanwhile, told the Metro that they were sorry to hear about Reeves' experience.

"The quality of the products we sell is of utmost importance to us and we will investigate this matter further with the supplier," the spokesperson said.
