Lavandou - Love your Skin

Did you realize that tanned skin only became popular in this century. Prior to that, fair skin was popular. Probably because fair skin denoted weatlh. Those with tanned skin probably had to work outdoors for a living, whereas a person with fair skin may have had servants and didn't have to be out in the sun and other elements. So even those that had to work outdoors, wore bonnets and gloves and long sleeves in an attempt to protect their skin.

With the advent of factories, people were moved indoors for difficult labor. Their skin became pale as they left the sunlight behind that came with outdoor and farming type work. Now, to differentiate themselves, the well to do, started enjoying outdoor activities. To show others that they did now spend their time inside working, a tan was essential. So now we strive for that healthy glow. But do you know what that healthy glow costs us? It wrinkles our skin. It discolors it. It toughens it. It dries it out. My grandmother loved to sunbathe and she smoked. In her 50s, she resembled a prune. My husband has a cousin who is also a sun worshipper and a smoker. She has skin that would rival leather.
