My girlfriend is ruining herself by using fake tan

My girlfriend has begun using fake tan, I find horrible and repulsive it doesn't look attractive too. My girlfriend has amazing natural beauty and extremely pretty but its being covered up by fake tan, I told her she looks better without and its just a mask to hide behind. how do get here to stop?
Exact opinion like the person above, the first OP (Selenerr___x).
And, have you asked her why she is using spray tans?

yes she thinks it makes her more attractive.
Yeah, tell her to use a UV tanning bed for the real thing. Real tans rock.
What ever you do, don't criticise her appearance. This will hurt her pride in two respects. One she will feel unattractive, but secondly, and more importantly, she will like you've undermined her judgement. Part of her will be so indignant she will be inclined to carry on wearing it, just to defy you. It's better to talk up the times she isn't wearing fake tan.

Also, what on earth compelled you to say it is a "mask to hide behind"

Don't tell her to do this, it will increase the chance she gets melanoma (skin cancer).
Just tell her what you said. Maybe a couple of hints like oh I really like natural looks, I hate things like loads of fake tan and makeup.
