The Skin Cancer Foundation website has a cute new video about the history of tanning, and how sunscreen is a necessity for our health and beauty. The video talks about how professional models never tan, and that women at the Oscars this year were all pale and lovely. Actually I totally forgot to tune into the Oscars this year, so I’m not sure if this is true!
The Foundation says “Fashion and beauty industry insiders have spoken. Now it’s time for you to listen. The tanned look is no longer fashionable. The tides have turned. Those in the know are going with their own glow. You should too…The Foundation learned from a focus group of beauty editors that radiant skin is the new beauty ideal. That is what served as the inspiration for this campaign. Tanning is undesirable – it’s not fashionable or healthy and therefore obsolete as a lifestyle.”
I totally agree! I’m all about self-tanners though. If I see a woman my age (early 30s) with beautiful tanned skin, then I assume she uses self-tanner (or has really excellent genes). When you get to my age and are a constant sun worshiper, your skin starts to look wrinkled, dull, leathery, and spotted. Faking it, or going with your own (paler) glow is the only way to go!
