Getting a Perfect Skin Bronze
When making a trip to the beach, you usually go equipped with several things. A towel, a hat and sunglasses, a big bottle of sun block, comfortable clothes and slippers, lots of water and, if you’re planning to spend most of the day there, maybe a chair and a large umbrella. But sometimes, even with all these preparations, the day ends with your skin either too dark or too red to look attractive. This is only natural; there is no way to control or accurately predict the strength of the sun rays, and thus no way to measure how long you need to stay in it to get that perfect shade of bronze that you crave.
There are a few ways to get the shade of your choice but of all those, only two are worth mentioning. The first is temporary, cheap and easy to apply. tanning lotions can be found at any drugstore or supermarket with instructions as to how to get the best effects. All you have to do is rub the lotion evenly over your skin and sit long enough to let it dry, which usually isn’t more than ten minutes. If you require a darker shade, simply add another layer on top of the first one, and so on. If you’re in a rush for your tan, this is the way to go.
The other method is not cheap and not very fast, but doesn’t come off in the shower either. Using a tanning bed regularly will ensure that your tan stays, and the color is entirely controllable. All you have to do is adjust the lamps to the strength that you want. If you don’t know exactly how high they should be, simply ask around in a nearby fitness center or spa or check the accompanying manual. Spreading a little oil on your skin before diving under the lamps can make the process a little faster. However, lying under them for hours on end is not healthy and will do more harm than good in the long run.
Of course, both of these methods don’t give you the joy and relaxation you can get from the beach, even if your skin gets a little burned as a sacrifice. Science, no matter how convenient, cannot compete against the beauty of nature. It is unfortunate that most people do not have the time to enjoy much of it and reap the benefits.

What do you think about this topic for writting?
I’m in 8th grade and we have to right a story for school. I really want it to be sophisticated and something that people will not underestimate me for. Their is a lot of grammar mistakes, but I want to see what you think. It may be a little advanced for my age, but I truly believe that I could achieve it’s potential.
Perhaps it was the way it made her feel. The rush of thinking, she could be skinny and beautiful. Boys would fight over her, Girls would roll their eyes in envy, and every modeling agency in the world would dream to have her.
“Do you want to try it?”
Her best friend Gina had lost forty pounds. She weighed 98 pounds and she was a little over 5’5, to perfect to believe. She was going out with the most gorgeous guy in the world and everyone wanted to be friends with her. She was leaving for Europe in a little over a week, for modeling. Her bronze skin, perfect size, and lovely green eyes made everyone melt by her presence.
“Will it hurt?”
“The first couple times, but you will get used to it,” She replied “It will be worth it, I promise.”
The young girl looked at her 5’9, 180 pound self, repulsed. She had always been the “Fatty”. Yearning to be the size 2, she could never be. It didn’t stop her from trying. Gina and I have wanted to be in modeling since we were eleven. We looked through the magazines and saw breath-taking models, dressed in Chanel, Dior, and Givenchy.
She grabbed her tooth brush and stuck it in the back of her throat. When she finished she started to cry, it burned. Sore throats and bad breath followed, but for the first time she felt good about herself. So she continued what she thought was the answer to happiness.
Something that seemed good, become a cycle that led to an addiction. Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia had taken over my life.
I want it to be in the first person. Is that okay?
This was really good, and i like how you put the story in the person’s view, so you can really see what they are thinking when they do it. You can show more of the side effects to really show readers that it’s really bad.
