History of the Tan!

Before 1930 tanned skin represented the working class people and you did not want to be associated in that category. The whiter the skin the better!! In fact, at one time women took arsenic which made them become anemic and therefore very pale. Wow! Talk about extremes!!

In 1930 bathing suits covered almost everything. Maybe a little knee showed now and then. But Coco Channel changed everything - by accident. She was the fashion icon. She had been on a yacht for several days and had inadvertently gotten too much sun on her face. When she stepped off the yacht, the paparazzi were there to capture a tanned face. So began the search to get the perfect tan.

Bathing suits shrank and no longer was the tan associated with the working class. Now it represented the leisure of the wealthy class. As suits got smaller and smaller, skin cancer increased.

There is no such thing as a healthy tan. The uva rays penetrate deep and cause damage that can't be seen for years but is just lurking there ready to come out. I have a tool that can show you the damage that is under the skin. It's not what you see - but what you don't see. What you can see is just the tip of the iceberg!

Good News - Rodan and Fields Dermatologists has a regimen that REVERSES the damage caused by the sun. It is called.....drumbeat......REVERSE! (Imagine that) and it WORKS.
Check it out at my website www.cevans.myrandf.com or email me at carolevans19@gmail.com and I'll be happy to answer your questions.

I really want to help you, because it has helped me so much and I believe in "paying it forward".
