A Brief History Of Suntan

  • A few years ago a white skin was very popular. White-skinned  people were very rich and they didn't work outdoors.
  • In the ХVII century people used white lead powder, chalk, and creams to lighten their skin tone. The chalk was diluted with an egg white and some vinegar.
  • Coco Chanel introduced the fashion for tan. She got seriously burnt on a cruise to Cannes in 1923.
  • Perfumer Jean Patou  invented the first oil for tanning in 1927.

    I agree with the first sentence. White skin looks so noble! Is that Coco Chanel in the picture?
