Holiday Skin
I guess one disadvantage to living in Ireland is the weather. A golden tan is either cultivated in sunnier climes, or more often than not, out of a bottle. Whoever said that pale and interesting looked good just didn't have a clue.
I attended the launch of Holiday Skin today, the revolutionary new tanning moisturiser from Johnson & Johnson. At a lunch hosted by Puffin Moynihan and David O'Brien of Dynamics PR, in the luxurious Merrion Hotel, brand manager Ruth Cosgrove informed us all of the new wonder product, which is essentially the only daily body lotion that also gives you a light tan 365 days of the year. And it's not just for girls.
Also speaking at today's event was Dr. Ben Jones from the Face Research Laboratory at the University of Aberdeen. His research has proved that a healthy looking skin colour is widely believed to be a reflection of health, sensible eating, sleeping and exercise patterns. People actually consider glowing skin on the outside to be an indication that all is well on the inside. So get that glow and even if you live a reckless lifestyle you won't look like you do. I've got mine.
Incidentally, Ben had just flown in to Aberdeen from Detroit the previous night and then straight from there to Dublin, via Manchester. He obviously practises what he preaches as he was looking pretty fresh.
Among the ladies looking radiant today were TV presenters Pamela Flood and Caroline Morahan, editor of VIP magazine Emer O'Reilly - Hyland, beauty journalist Anne Boylan, LIFE magazine editor Lucy Bowen. Style goddess Leanne De Cerbo was also there, looking amazing as always, and informed me that Joanne Hegarty has joined Gavin Lambe - Murphy at the helm of the The Diary column in Ireland on Sunday newspaper.
