Sunless Tanning Vs the Sun

Back in the Victorian era, if a person's skin was pale like porcelain it meant they were wealthy. If you were tan, it indicated you were a laborer from the working class.

It separated the classes until the 1920s when Coco Chanel (a well known French designer) was out in the sun too long and landed up with a golden tan. That set the trend that would follow into modern day. Dark golden skin was symbolic of being healthy and it was very sexy.

As we became more aware of the damage that the sun was doing to our skin we became torn between looking healthy and being healthy. It was in the 1950s that the first sunless tanning product hit the market. We've certainly come a long way from then.

Remember the sunless tanning products of the 1970s. One could only guess what shade of orange you would turn, and the occasional person was lucky enough to come out a shade that could pass for a tan from a distance. It was during this time that sunless tanning really got a bad reputation.

For years, many weren't interested in trying a product that would make them look like a pumpkin. But as the sunless tanning products improved interest in them grew. Today's products are incredibly good, so good in fact that they look like you've been basking in the sun. That healthy youthful tan can be yours right from a bottle.

With so many products on the market there's a shade that's right for everyone. The key is to do a skin test. That will determine color as well as whether you will have any allergic reactions although reactions are rare.

Sunless tanner is designed to provide you with a safer alternative than lying out in the sun. Skin cancer is a very real risk of sun tanning, so while you might look and feel healthier you are actually putting your health at risk.

A sunless tanner means you can look and feel healthy without the risk of skin cancer. Either you can apply your own sunless tanning product or you can opt to go to the salon and have a professional airbrush your sunless tan or you can use one of the tanning booths and receive a very professional looking sunless tan.

If you are applying your own sunless tanning product, make sure to allow your body a few minutes for the application to dry so as not to stain your clothing. Once the application is dry it will begin to work its magic with your skin starting to darken almost immediately.

It's a good idea to exfoliate before applying any sunless tanning products. That way you'll remove any of the flaking dead skin and your sunless tan will last longer. You will have to reapply every 7 to 10 days.

Soaking up the suns rays is no longer the only option for obtaining a beautiful tan. The right sunless tanning product will reward you with a bronze tan that has you looking healthy and sexy. So what are you waiting for?

Add Clarity With Bathroom Mirror Lights

Despite what you may have been led to believe by the interior design magazines, recessed lighting is not the best lighting for your bathroom - not in terms of practicality anyway. While the subdued subtle light they give might look good in those glossy photographs, when it comes to tasks such as the application of makeup, when used in isolation they are sorely lacking.

Whether large enough to host a ball or so small that you can just about squeeze in there alone, the bathroom is one of the most important rooms of the house - after all, it's where you prepare yourself to greet the public. And any woman who has ever spent time trying to 'put her face on' beneath flickering fluorescents in a pub toilet will tell you that decent lighting is fundamental to any make up routine.

The best lighting for applying makeup has to be the natural light that comes in through the window. Sadly, however, especially in the northern hemisphere, there's not always enough of that to go around; and what about nighttime? It makes sense then that artificial lighting as close in spectrum as possible to natural light is the way to go. Both halogen lights and LED lamps will see you right as both are close in colour to natural daylight. Possibly the worst light for applying makeup is the old fluorescent type, which just seems to throw even the smallest blemish into high relief.

When it comes to the position of mirror lights, you should aim to have them as close to the mirror as possible. The ideal placement is about 30" apart, but that's not always possible to achieve.

To eliminate shadows under the chin, eyes, cheeks, and forehead, aim to have a light either side of the mirror, as close to eye level as possible, plus a light source that illuminates your face from above - what you're aiming to do is surround your face with light. Just think of those Hollywood dressing room mirrors and you'll get the idea, although if rows of bare light bulbs aren't for you, you don't have to have them. Wall sconces will do just fine.

When you look good you feel good - and you will not feel good if you view your morning face under the harsh glare of unshaded lights. To look your best, choose mirror lights with tinted or diffuse lenses and avoid clear glass lamps at all costs.

Last, but not least, we come to the overall look of the room, which can be enhanced tremendously by clever lighting. Because of the aforementioned functionality, the best bathroom lighting tends to be layered, so you'll have the mirror lights plus general lighting and natural light from the windows.

Complex lighting schemes are not essential, however, and they're not always possible either, whether for reasons of space or budget. If this applies to you, you can add to the versatility of your lighting simply by fitting a dimmer switch, although bear in mind that this must be situated outside of the room itself.

Somebody once said that you can never have too much light in the bathroom; we would qualify that by adding that it has to be the right type of light.
