Is pale skin really a trend? Skin is more than a fashion accessory Our skin is so very much more than an accessory, and taking care of it should not be regarded as trendy. What happens when the trend fades? Being healthy is always "in" Enter the advocate. Make healthy skin a classic I'm not sure tanning has really made its way out, so to speak.

When economic strife returned to Britain in the s, methods of sunless tanning — such as Coppertone self-tan — grew in popularity, and by , the sunbed was reintroduced as a quick way of bronzing.
The cosmetics boom of the s and the accessibility of Mediterranean package holidays too carried the glamour of tanning through to the s. Women with toffee-coloured skin Jessica Alba, Beyonce, Halle Berry, Kim Kardashian are at the forefront of definitions of 21st century beauty.
An argument runs that white women try to achieve similar complexions, ignoring that these celebrities' skin tones are the result of being mixed race or non-caucasian. However, those obsessed with tanning also have Katie Price, Victoria Beckham and even the whole cast of Geordie Shore as tanning role models. The desire to tan runs deeper than race. Fears surrounding the risks of tanning were confirmed in , when it was found that rates of malignant melanoma in the UK have more than quadrupled in the past 30 years and that it is the most common form of cancer among those aged The Sunbed Regulation Act , introduced in with much help from Girls Aloud singer and ex-tanner Nicola Roberts, made it illegal for tanning salons to allow unders to use sunbeds.
However, there is no regulation on how often an adult can use a sunbed. This article is more than 9 years old. Irish women might still be the biggest consumers of fake tan per capita of anywhere in the world, but instead of layering it on, they're embracing a more subtle look - you can guarantee that any of the celebrities mentioned above didn't ask for at least a dollop of bronzer or highlighter. If it's anti-ageing you're focused on, don't forget your telltale body part - your hands.
We are blessed with lovely skin in Ireland, but some have abused this in the sun rather from a fake glow. Similarly, Dr Justine Kluk, a London-based consultant dermatologist stresses the importance of wearing SPF, whether you're wearing makeup or not. If your skin would normally go red within 10 or 20 minutes of exposing it to the sun without protection, applying adequate quantities of SPF 50 means that it would take up to 50 times as long for the same to happen," she explained.
Not only is sunburn painful in the short-term, it also greatly increases the risk of dangerous skin cancers, such as melanoma, down the line. Watch out Prince George, it looks like there's another three-year-old on the other side of the Atlantic stealing headlines for his cuteness.
If last weekend's epic Guns n' Roses concert at Slane reminded us of anything, it wasn't that rock and roll never dies we always knew Axel had it in him , it was just how volatile the weather in Ireland really can be. The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry have said they wanted to make a documentary about their mother because they felt they had let her down by not protecting her.
It's time to rejoice, fair skin has finally come back into fashion.
