    Kate Moss Nude in New Self-Tan Ad

    Supermodel Kate Moss is no stranger to nudity, though she may not always have been comfortable baring her famous body. Now, the 39-year-old model is showing more skin than ever in a new ad for self-tanning products.

    St. Tropez, a self-tanning product line, this week announced that Kate Moss is the “new face and body” of St. Tropez. The company has released new ads featuring Moss nearly and completely naked, covered only in self-tan. St. Tropez will be marketing Moss’ look as the “Kate Tan.”

    “I’m so excited to be working with St.Tropez,” said Moss. “I’ve been using the products since they started and it’s a really trustworthy, cool brand. I always feel more confident with a St.Tropez tan!”

    “We’re absolutely thrilled that Kate Moss has chosen to work with us on our new campaign: it gives us the ultimate stamp of approval on the quality of our products,” said Michelle Feeney, CEO of PZ Cussons Beauty, parent company of St. Tropez. “Kate epitomises St.Tropez’s naturally glamorous approach to self-tanning and is a long-time advocate of the brand…Kate’s fashion icon status is important to us but now her growing number of beauty campaigns proves that her appeal as a beauty icon resonates with confident women across all age groups globally. Not only is she beautiful but she has this amazing attitude. St.Tropez is about confidence.”

    As part of its new social media campaign, St. Tropez has posted a behind-the-scenes look at Moss’ photo shoot to its YouTube channel:

  • Sunscreen Pills Could Provide an Easy Alternative to Lotions

    A sunscreen pill designed to help protect your tender skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays sounds like a very good idea to me. As someone who absolutely loathes lotions and oils of any variety, I would be the first test subject in line to pop a pill just to escape rubbing this sort of stuff all over my body. Thankfully, I don’t spend very much of my free time in the sun, which means that I rarely have to bother with this sort of activity to begin with. Score one for the shut-in.

    However, for those with a sun fetish and a natural aversion to liquid sunscreen, scientists may have something in the works that’s right up your alley. Researchers are currently working on a pill that should, in theory, help protect your body from the effects of the sun. This oral solution, which is fashioned using chemicals found in coral, is still a few years away from appearing on retails shelves. Still, the thought of abandoning lotions altogether is kind of appealing.

    Of course, if popping pills isn’t your bag, then perhaps you’d be more interested in something along the lines of Scenesse. Instead of taking medication or coating your flesh with protective solutions, this alternative is implanted directly into your skin, which then secretes hormones that increase the amount of melanin your body produces. This, too, is still about two years away from becoming available for public consumption.

    One concern that’s on the tip of everyone’s tongues are the side effects generally associated with taking pills. Nowadays, you can’t go more than five minutes without encountering a commercial or an advertisement for a medication that has a laundry list of potential dangers. For a lot of people, this could be a deal-beaker. Having to contend with the oily aftermath of sunscreen lotion is one thing, congestive heart failure from a sunscreen pill is something else entirely.
