Except in some rare exceptions, aging sucks no matter what profession you are in. The mind works better and just as fast as at 30 but it just seems like the packaging doesn’t follow.

If you want to look just like the ever-cinnamon Jessica Alba, Brad Pitt, JLo, Eva Longoria, David Hasselhoff, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Simpson, then sun-less tanning is the way to go if you want to avoid premature wrinkles, over exposure or even skin cancer. Aside from the health benefits, there are also many career-specific benefits to the industry if you decide to use this method. First of all you possess a very wide range of “tones” to either match your skin tone or correct it! And when the camera or spotlight is on you that can make a big difference…
