Kate Gosselin is glowing these days -- literally!
Despite the single mom's attempt to look younger with Botox treatments, the over-the-top orange tan she's been sporting lately makes her appear much older than her 35 years, experts tell UsMagazine.com.

"When you go spray tan on your face too dark, it ages you. She looks super old here. She looks 40-something!" Fabiola Trujillo, owner of Sobe Tan by Fabiola in Miami Beach, tells Us. "I mean, Dancing With the Stars is over, right? No more orange!"
Explains Trujillo: "When you go darker on your face, your wrinkles look definitely more pronounced." She points out her emphasized frown and laugh lines.

Even worse: Board-certified dermatologist Joel Schlessinger says Gosselin is setting a "bad example" for her eight kids by glamorizing tanning, even if it's fake, because melanoma is so deadly. "It's sad to see people still going for that orange, fake look," he says.
Schlessinger (who is also the president of LovelySkin.com) suggests that Gosselin may be hooked on tanning. Indeed, sources have told Us the reality star requested an "extra dark" glow while competing on DWTS, and she even ditched her sextuplets to hit the tanning salon on their 5th birthday -- also Mother's Day.
"There's an addiction in tanning," he says. "Definitely, it's amazing what a spray tan can do: It makes you look younger, all your flaws on your skin go away, you look slimmer... But you've got to be careful and not overdo it. My advice would be to drop it, cold turkey!"

Trujillo points out that Gosselin is pale and "Fair-skinned [people] have to be very careful with what amount of spray tan they get on their skin, because we can get orange very easily."
Her suggestion to avoid looking like an oompa loompa: Exfoliate the old tan before applying new product.

Jordan Stein, the retail manager of Bliss spas (Kate Hudson and Liv Tyler are fans), defends Gosselin for opting to spray tan instead of fake bake.
"Kate is not a tanorexic -- her intention was to get a safe, natural looking tan. The results were less than perfect," he tells Us. "She is trying to promote the only healthy, tanning alternative."

217P.S. "Losers" only has one o in it not two. My major pet peeve is when i read a post with spelling errors. annoying. please use some common sense if you post so that we can appreciate your words and thoughts- not wonder if you are a moron.
UGH!!! She obviously did not look into a mirror before she left home. I would have worn a hat with a wide brim and some longer linen pants and a cool top. that dress is really ugly.
And WHAT is that she is wearing??
40 is "super old"?????????? SHE looks super old.....but 40 is NOT super old....I'm older than Kate "Hag" Gosselin...and look 10 years younger than her. (and no, i don't tan) -- personality and being truly positive have a lot to do with it, too. ;)
Get a life you fans. We haters are taking over. Get out of our way. We rule the universe. We post hate and lies. We will always be on top. We post hate at Kate because we are JEALOUS. We will always be JEALOUS. We live to be JEALOUS. Kate is our hate target and we stalk her night and day. No matter where she is we know it. She is the one we hate the most. We stalk and stalk and stalk and salk and stalk and stalk and stalk. we will never get enough of stalking this woman. We will never leave her alone. We just love to stalk her. We are possed with the love to stalk her. We are the crazy Kate hating stalkers. Get over it you fans.
Kate has the money, you would think that she could at least spend it on looking better. Instead she gets a BAD botox treatment and a bad looking tan. She looks old and weathered. She looks haggard. You would think that she is watching after her 8 children. Maybe she is doing it on purpose.
If she wants a tan that bad, just lay out in the sun for a little bit. At least she'd have a nice light brown color and not orange. It looks horrible.
It's a ...WALKING PUMPKIN!!!!!!!
Kate could get the most beautiful real tan, smile a real (not fake)smile,look good in a bating suit and still be the hateful, awful, dreadful mother and liar she is. What happened to God in her life? Oh, that must have been fake too.
There is a new show about having sextets, and its a great show. The kids are much less used as props. The last show, the husband called his wife Kate, then repeated it to make sure his sarcasm was noted. Cracked me up! Kate just seems so lost. Her fame is gone, and now she has to raise those 8 munchkins, even taking care of them. Sorry Kate.
Kate said she will never go back to nursing. Good news for all of us who might run the risk of being tended by that narcissist! Go away, no-talent Kate. You are so done.
WHO CARES?! People get a freaking life already..if Kate wants to tan, let her tan! Its her life..not ours!! and frankly she looks fine! not to "Orange" at all..Kate is not a diva..and who cares if she tans! LOTS of good people Tan! WHO CARES! She looks Fabulos, and her 8 kids should be so pround they have an amazing mother! Kate you rock!
One beautiful lady. Sooooo Sexy Looking
Well looks like you lesbos have nothing to do but follow Kate around and look at er boobs. LMAO LMAO LMAO
To the Kfreaks is this clarity enough ? 1=Kate a fake,she whines like Anna Nichole Smith..Nobody wants Kate around them..Kate children is miserable around her.. Kate even looks like Anna..The Kreaks are morons,and haters along with sage trying to hide her hate as well..
This all boils down to the fact the monkey face fans of Kate thinks Kate read everyone of their posting,and they are praying she will call them to replace Jamie..Well,to the monkey face fans Kate will never re-place Jamie for any of you morons..It Steve that checks her e-mails and Kate never reads the comments on any website that got a thread about her.. Silly Gooses..
Wow, shes a winner. Great parenting, Kate.
Kate- You are a true loser. Now crawl into a hole and die
Why does she frown all the time? It makes her look old and comical, like that joker oufit she has on. This whole topic (Kate) is a joke.
I hate to see how you raises you childrens when you sits on the computer all days and post about Kate.You is teachin them to hate to and be loosers like there mommas.
