RUSTY JOINTS!

Today's topic, Boys & Girls, is avoiding "Rusty Joints". AND NO I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU MIGHT SMOKE! One of the problems with all the information that we have today is that we now KNOW to avoid contact with the sun. UNFORTUNATELY, the media and society would still have us all believe that the BROWN GLOW it gives you is beautiful and desirable.

The cosmetic industry has a solution-SELF TANNER. The wonderful glow of a tan without prolonged exposure to the sun. RIGHT! The bottles and tubes often fail to warn you of the side effects if not properly applied-brown streaks and rusty joints.

When the temps are SO HOT that only shorts can be tolerated, we are all faced with the HORROR of white pasty legs hanging beneath those short hems. A GLARING - SHOCKING reflection of the months they have been hidden under jeans and long pants.

Once again we gravitate to the Self Tanner and begin the annual quest for the Healthy Glow. Here is a list of what I have learned over the years from said applications:

RUB RUB RUB it in! A lazy slathering can lead to long streaks of brown beside equally long streaks of white! CHARMING if you like the Zebra Look!

Avoid too much cream in the joint areas such as knees, ankles, and elbows. As stated above NO ONE wants a rusty joint!

Use NONE on palms or feet soles-LET'S JUST SAY A LITTLE CAN GO A LONG WAY. For some reason it seems to REALLY absorb in these areas.

Careful of the color you pick. Too dark too quick can be disastrous!

Apply EVERY DAY- you just keep putting on another coat of paint to smooth out the paint job.

FINALLY-AT ALL COSTS- AVOID OVER DOING!
