Thanks to Coco Chanel, dark, brown skin that used to be only associated with the working class was redefined as “sun-kissed”. Since then, the Western world has regarded bronzed skin as the symbol of chic and affluent jetsetters who can afford to travel all year round.  Celebrities and models compete for the best tan. Many aspire to perfect the St Tropez look.  In fact the St Tropez look is so highly sought after that a whole range of fake tan product is named St Tropez – a town where its seaside resorts are frequented by rich guests in the summer.
