It's a random skin condition and dermatologists have told me short of lasers and such it's just going to be there, but they aren't hurting anything and don't indicate any actual disease. They look like mild burn scars. Spray tan doesn't hide them in the least, and yes I frequently wear shorts and skirts. I can't imagine why the self righteous attitude towards women that enjoy making themselves look good in their own eyes in healthy ways is necessary. Taking pride in one's appearance is in no way a betrayal, and every individual has individual tastes. Your make up is in no way different from a can of spray mist from CVS, and your personal preferences to pay no attention to your appearance are certainly valid and comfortable to you, but are PERSONAL and not superior to the preferences of those who enjoy make up, hair products, spray mist, nail polish, etc. Making women (or men for that matter) feel bad about a little primping is ridiculous.

By the way, if a spray tan results in a "whole different skin color" then it isn't correctly done, and no spray mist you buy at the drugstore can do that. You won't find someone more adamantly against tanning beds than I, or someone more confused than I as to why is it such a heinous crime against woman hood to enjoy doing my nails, a spray mist, fun eyeshadows, and curling my hair when I have some free time. It's fun, makes me happy, and is a much healthier pursuit than many others I could participate in.
Maybe now you don't need to take things so personally. No one said anything harsh. You're reading your own bias into their comments. They just don't think you have to look golden to look healthy. Get over it...it's a difference of opinion not a judgement of your worth as a person.
