History of Tanning

We don’t mean to brag, but we Bikini Kitchen Babes are tanning experts. We pride ourselves in knowing everything there is to know about how to attain that gorgeous summer glow. Acquiring the title of “Tanning Professional” goes beyond utilizing the best tanning practices; you must fully immerse yourself into the world of bronzing and educate yourself on the history of tanning.

Believe it or not, glamour gals didn’t always seek out the natural, sun-kissed tan. In fact, up until the twentieth century, a tan was associated with the lower class that had to work outside in the scorching sun. The upper class took tremendous strides toward preventing their skin from being exposed to the sun. Pale truly was a status symbol. Pale was “in.”

In 1923 the sun began to set on the pale trend. After cruising from Paris to Cannes, designer Coco Chanel stepped off the Duke of Wellington's yacht with a startling suntan. Chanel had apparently gotten too much sun by accident. This initial lack of precaution soon became the next fashion statement. The press and fashion world became obsessed with the bronze look, and daring women in Europe and America started baring their skin to the sun. And the rest, our dear Bikini Kitchen Babes, is history.

Today, the tanning process has been perfected and made more efficient. With the use of Booty Butter Suntan Lotion, you will get that booty-ful bronze look in less time while keeping your precious skin silky-smooth, protected and moisturized. So get your bottle of Booty Butter suntan lotion today!
