Tanning Safely – the facts

I love the new perfect legs from St Tropez!!  We’ve all had days when you want to wear a skirt only to look down at your legs in horror at the milk bottle whiteness of them!  This fantastic product solves that.  First you put on the “Everyday” lotion in the white pump and then you cover with the “leg make-up” from the dark side which gives you a transfer resistant, beautiful tan.  Some of my clients have even gone swimming in it and have found that although St Tropez don’t claim that it is waterproof, as long as they didn’t rub their legs it stayed on.  How fantastic is that!  And of course the next day the Everyday lotion has developed and you have a great tan underneath.  I also found that the creaminess of the Everyday lotion made the leg make-up go on really smoothly, so no streaks! Fantastic!!
  

Harmful effects from sunbeds and sunbathing.

There has been more in the news lately of the very real danger of skin cancer from sunbeds and too much time spent outdoors in the sun, so it makes even more sense to get your colour from products like St Tropez etc., 

 I think what everyone tends to forget is that nature didn’t give us the tanning response in the skin because it looks good – it is the skins response to trauma and is a protective mechanism to shield our skins from the harmful effects of the sun.  So cover up, use plenty of high factor sunscreen, don’t sunbathe between 11am and 3pm, (this is usually the hottest part of the day) and if you like to look tanned use one of St Tropez’s bronzing products such as the Everyday cream, even when you are on holiday, to give you a golden glow.
