From now on, one takes care of one's skin, and the big marks of cosmetics have conceived ranges of products which make it possible to tan , without sun ! And if we find in perfume as well as in supermarket a whole panoply ofSelf-tanners, the most lazy have already cracked for the self-tanning shower, carried out in institute. Coming from the United States, this fashion is already a big hit in France.

The promise "tanning" of the self-tanning shower
