Den perfekten Selbstbräuner zu finden, kann schwierig sein – das sind die Favoriten unserer Autorin. Früher bestand mein Urlaub vor allem aus einer Sache: den ganzen Tag eingeölt in der Sonne zu liegen. Und, ja, ich habe Speiseöl genommen. Denken Sie nun an ein brutzelndes Hähnchen – dann haben Sie ein ungefähres Bild im Kopf. Nachdem sich aber immer öfter abends unter der Dusche meine Haut von meiner Brust schälte, wurde mir klar, wie schädlich die Auswirkungen der Sonne tatsächlich sind.
