I need a tan. Or do I? For many it's bare legged shorts wearing time. The removal of the heavy winter clothes to spring fashions leaves a lot of skin showing. Hence all the adds for tanning, health clubs and vein doctors. My sixteen year old called her skin pasty, I realized that this too was a piece of that body image many struggle with. I think her fair skin is beautiful, but in an effort to avoid the "you're my mom, you're suppose to give me an answer like that," I decided to use a different approach. I took of picture of her skin and lined it up with other fair-skinned beauties: Her favorite Aunt, another good girl friend who plays bass in an indie band and Madonna. This ploy worked this time as I logically layer it out for her to 'see.'  Too bad we can't do that with everything. Thinking through an extra step can really make the difference in someone's opinion of themselves, and with an on air break. Pasty skin is simply skin that's been covered up all winter and in need a little moisturizer. I prefer Jergen's body glow because sun-kissed sounds and looks so much better than pasty.
