Going with your own glow!

Published July 5th, 2009 by Gwen Moodley

Climate change continues to influence our behavior more than ever before, not only with the environment but even with fashion and trends.   As health becomes a dominant factor in our every day choices, health trends are also affecting the outward appearance as can be evidenced on todays fashion runways, with the preference of a more natural look.  The new look today is no longer about “tanned skin”, and a glowing natural looking skin that looks ‘healthy’ is seen as more fashionable.    

Influenced by a group of beauty editors, the Skin Cancer Foundation were inspired to create a campaign that would spread the word on “Go with your own glow!”, a message that spreads the fact that tanning is no longer desirable or fashionable and is obsolete in todays lifestyle.   A natural glowing healthy skin is now ‘the look’ to have.
