Is it still fashionable to be tanned?
We can’t avoid the fact that we all look really good when our skin is tanned. It makes us look slimmer, it hides quite a few blemishes, we have a better glow to our face and even bright clothes look better on us so is it still fashionable to have a tan?
The Health Authorities throughout all the world have not stopped telling us through every which way they can that taking the sun is bad for us and can lead to melanomas, which is skin cancer, and this is even more true nowadays when the protection that we used to have from the ozone layer has diminished. So the sun does more harm now than it ever did before and in the long run if taken too much will shrivel the skin of your face up like a prune long before time.
Well my personal view is that it can’t help but be a little less fashionable mostly due to all the bad publicity that’s been placed everywhere on the consequences of taking the sun. I have also noticed how in fashion magazine articles on swimwear the models are no longer a chocolate brown (unless they are of Afro origin) and are only slightly tanned.
So for the women that still like to get a tan in the summer, as some women would prefer to be seen dead rather than be seen white in a swimsuit, they can always resort to self tanning products. These are usually in the form of a lotion or gel, you apply them all over and within one to three hours you have a light golden tan. You can apply two to three times a week to deepen and keep the tan going and it has no side effects at all.
